Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: No reliable predictors of susceptibility to gemcitabine chemotherapy exist in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MicroRNAs (miR) are epigenetic gene regulators with tumorsuppressive or oncogenic roles in various carcinomas. This study assesses chemoresistant PDAC for its specific miR expression pattern. METHODS: Gemcitabine-resistant variants of two mutant p53 human PDAC cell lines were...
