  • Pancreatic cancer, a common digestive system tumor with high malignancy and a poor prognosis, has several treatment options. However, none of them are particularly effective because understanding the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer remains a significant clinical challenge. Splicing isoforms mediate various biological phenotypes as an important means of regulating gene expression in eukaryotes, and their abnormalities can lead to a variety of diseases. Numb is an important cell fate determining protein whose alternative splicing has been linked to the development of various cancers. In pancreatic cancer, selective splicing of Numb can result in a variety of Numb protein subtypes, each with a different regulatory effect on the activation of various cancer-related signal pathways and tumor cell biology. This paper reviews the recent progress of Numb protein research in pancreatic cancer, with a focus on the regulatory role of its different isoforms in pathogenesis.
