Circulating MicroRNAs in Serum of Human K-ras Oncogene Transgenic Rats With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas
18 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Novel biomarkers for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are urgently needed because of its poor prognosis. We have previously established an animal model for human PDAC using transgenic rats in which expression of a human K-ras(G12V) oncogene is regulated by the Cre/lox system. Using this model, we searched for candidate circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) for use as novel clinical diagnostic...
