This dysfunction is associated with disrupted cytokine signaling (e.g., TGF-), enhanced oxidative stress, and abnormal fibroblast activity, ultimately leading to disordered ECM deposition and tissue fibrosis ( Moreover, hyperglycemia stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-, IL-1), growth factors (e.g., PDGF, TGF-), and accumulation of AGEs, all of which dysregulate collagen and elastin synthesis
While initial animal studies demonstrated a potential biological mechanism for increased risk of PDAC, this has not been observed in humans to date
