Zusammenfassung: | Analysis of our microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) revealed that
(
) was significantly reduced in cancer tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor roles of
in PDAC cells and to identify
-mediated molecular pathways involved in PDAC aggressiveness. The expression levels of
were significantly reduced in PDAC clinical specimens. Ectopic expression of
significantly suppressed cancer cell migration and invasion. Transcription of actin-binding protein Anillin (coded by
) was detected by our
and gene expression analyses. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays showed that
was a direct target of
in PDAC cells. Overexpression of
was detected in PDAC clinical specimens by real-time PCR methods and immunohistochemistry. Interestingly, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that high expression of
predicted shorter survival in patients with PDAC by TCGA database analysis. Silencing
expression markedly inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion capabilities of PDAC cell lines. We further investigated
-mediated downstream pathways in PDAC cells. "Focal adhesion" and "Regulation of actin binding protein" were identified as
-modulated downstream pathways in PDAC cells. Identification of antitumor
/
-mediated PDAC pathways will provide new insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the aggressive course of PDAC. |
