miR-29a Is Repressed by MYC in Pancreatic Cancer and Its Restoration Drives Tumor-Suppressive Effects via Downregulation of LOXL2
29 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an intractable cancer with a dismal prognosis. miR-29a is commonly downregulated in PDAC; however, mechanisms for its loss and role still remain unclear. Here, we show that in PDAC, repression of miR-29a is directly mediated by MYC via promoter activity. RNA sequencing analysis, integrated with miRNA target prediction, identified global miR-29a downstream...
