A Yin-Yang 1/miR-30a regulatory circuit modulates autophagy in pancreatic cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Autophagy is a highly regulated biological process that mediates the degradation of intracellular components. It is required for tumor cell metabolism and homeostasis. Yin-Yang 1 (YY1) has been reported to be involved in autophagy in several carcinomas. However, its role in autophagy in pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest human malignancies, is unknown. Here, we investigated the function of YY1 in...
