Objective To summarize the relationship between integrins, tumor metabolism, and tumor cells with pancreatic stellate cells in the tumor microenvironment, in order to provide targets and ideas for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Method To review the literatures on pancreatic stellate cells, integrins, and amino acid metabolism as therapeutic targets for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the domestic and overseas.Results The drug research for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was currently under vigorous development, but remain in the animal and clinical test stage. As a new therapeutic protein, ProAgio could inhibit the expression of integrin αvβ3, activation and secretion of pancreatic stellate cells, and alanine metabolism in the microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, so as to achieve the dual effects of anti-fibrosis and anti-tumor.Conclusions The roles of activated pancreatic stellate cells, ProAgio, integrin αvβ3, and alanine metabolism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have been partially elucidated, but the specific mechanism still needs further investigation and may become a completely new therapeutic target someday.
