Differentially expressed proteins of LAMC2 in normal (A) and pancreatic cancer tissues (B) in the Human Protein Atlas database. Differentially expressed proteins of HMGA1 in normal (C) and pancreatic cancer tissues (D) in the Human Protein Atlas database. Differentially expressed proteins of CSTB in normal (E) and pancreatic cancer tissues (F) in the Human Protein Atlas database. G LAMC2 were overexpressed in metastatic cell lines relative to primary cell lines. H HMGA1were overexpressed in metastatic cell lines relative to primary cell lines. I CSTB were overexpressed in metastatic cell lines relative to primary cell lines. Enrichment of metastatic-related signaling pathways in primary/metastatic tumor samples. J Relative expression levels of hub genes in metastatic-related signaling pathways were upregulated in metastatic lesions compared with primary samples. K GSVA enrichment analysis showing the activation states of biological pathways in primary/metastatic PDAC samples. The heatmap was used to visualize these biological processes, and yellow represented activated pathways and blue represented inhibited pathways.
