MicroRNA 421 suppresses DPC4/Smad4 in pancreatic cancer

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in the development of pancreatic cancer and may be a valuable therapeutic application. DPC4/Smad4 is a critical tumor suppressor involved in the progression of pancreatic cancer, but few studies have been conducted to determine its relationship with miRNAs. In this study, we identify miR-421 as a potential regulator of DPC4/Smad4. We find that in human...
