Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: MicroRNA (miR)-26a has been identified as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer cells. Although wild-type p53 controls cell-cycle progression, its mutant form normally present in pancreatic cancer loses this capability. Phosphorylation is known to restore wild-type activity to mutant p53. We, therefore, examined whether miR-26a treatment can restore wild-type functions of mutant p53 via...
