| Research Abstract |
miRNA microarray analysis using gemcitabine-resistant clones of MiaPaCa2 (MiaPaCa2-RGs), PSN1 (PSN1-RGs), and their parental cells (MiaPaCa2-P, PSN1-P) was conducted. MiR-X was selected as a candidate for drug-resistance regulator. Changes in the anti-cancer effects of gemcitabine were studied after gain/loss-of-function analysis of the candidate miRNA. Further assessment of the putative target protein(protein-Y) was performed in vitro and in 66 pancreatic cancer clinical samples. The results indicate that miR-X regulates the resistance of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine through protein-Y, suggesting that miR-X/protein-Y could be suitable for prediction of the clinical response in pancreatic cancer patients on gemcitabine-based therapy.
