To investigate whether miR-15a inhibits cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) via the down-regulation of B cell-specific moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (Bmi-1) expression.
miR-15a and Bmi-1 expressions in normal pancreatic tissue and PDAC tissue were measured. The relationship between miR-15a and Bmi-1 expression was analyzed. We found that miR-15a suppressed the expression of Bmi-1 and PDAC cell proliferation; E-cadherin expression was visibly up-regulated after silencing Bmi-1 by transfecting miR-15a into PDAC cell line.
miR-15a inhibits cell proliferation and EMT in PDAC via the down-regulation of Bmi-1 expression.
研究 miR-15a 是否通过下调 B 细胞特异性 Moloney 鼠白血病病毒插入位点 1（Bmi-1）的表达来抑制胰腺导管腺癌（PDAC）中的细胞增殖和上皮-间充质转化（EMT）。
检测正常胰腺组织和 PDAC 组织中 miR-15a 和 Bmi-1 的表达情况。分析 miR-15a 与 Bmi-1 表达之间的关系。结果发现，miR-15a 抑制了 Bmi-1 的表达和 PDAC 细胞的增殖；转染 miR-15a 到 PDAC 细胞系中沉默 Bmi-1 后，E-钙黏蛋白的表达明显上调。
