    KRAS pathway activity impacts GATA6 gene levels.

  • 2

    GATA6 is associated with pancreatic tumor differentiation.

  • 3

    Tumors with high GATA6 levels are generally less aggressive.

  • 4

    Blocking KRAS can restore GATA6 levels and sensitivity to chemotherapy.

  • 5

    Oxaliplatin is more effective in the presence of higher GATA

  • 6

    This research indicates new potential treatment strategies.

  • 7
