Molecular Pathogenesis of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Impact of miR-30c-5p and miR-30c-2-3p Regulation on Oncogenic Genes

Abstract excerpt

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, and its prognosis is abysmal; only 25% of patients survive one year, and 5% live for five years. MicroRNA (miRNA) signature analysis of PDAC revealed that both strands of pre-miR-30c (miR-30c-5p, guide strand; miR-30c-2-3p, passenger strand) were significantly downregulated, suggesting they function as tumor-suppressors in PDAC...
