Mechanism Description The in vitro drug sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells was altered according to the miR-1246 expression via CCNG2. In vivo, we found that miR-1246 could increase tumour-initiating potential and induced drug resistance. A high expression level of miR-1246 was correlated with a worse prognosis and CCNG2 expression was significantly lower in those patients. miR-1246 expression was associated with chemoresistance and CSC-like properties via CCNG2, and could predict worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.

Mechanism Description miR-181c directly repressed MST1, LATS2, MOB1 and SAV1 expression in human pancreatic cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-181c induced hyperactivation of the YAP/TAZ and (+) expression of the Hippo signaling downstream genes CTGF, BIRC5 and BLC2L1, leading to pancreatic cancer cell survival and chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, high miR-181c levels were significantly correlated with Hippo signaling inactivation in pancreatic cancer samples, and predicted a poor patient overall survival.

Mechanism Description The in vitro drug sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells was altered according to the miR-1246 expression via CCNG2. In vivo, we found that miR-1246 could increase tumour-initiating potential and induced drug resistance. A high expression level of miR-1246 was correlated with a worse prognosis and CCNG2 expression was significantly lower in those patients. miR-1246 expression was associated with chemoresistance and CSC-like properties via CCNG2, and could predict worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.

Mechanism Description The main mechanism for gemcitabine inactivation is through deamination by cytidine deaminase (CDA) to difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU). Since dFdU is not a substrate for pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylases, the drug is degraded and excreted out of the cell.

Mechanism Description Once taken up into the cell, gemcitabine is phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) to produce dFdCMP. In turn, dFdCMP is converted by other pyrimidine kinases to its active diphosphate and triphosphate derivatives, dFdCDP and dFdCTP. Due to the central role of dCK in gemcitabine metabolism, its deficiency is a major contributor to gemcitabine resistance.

Mechanism Description The long non-coding RNA HOTTIP promotes progression and gemcitabine resistance by regulating HOXA13 in pancreatic cancer.Microarray analyses revealed that HOTTIP was one of the most significantly upregulated LncRNAs in PDAC tissues compared with pancreatic tissues.Furthermore, knockdown of HOXA13 by RNA interference (siHOXA13) revealed that HOTTIP promoted PDAC cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance, at least partly through regulating HOXA13. As a crucial tumor promoter, HOTTIP promotes cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance by modulating HOXA13. Therefore, the HOTTIP/HOXA13 axis is a potential therapeutic target and molecular biomarker for PDAC.

Mechanism Description miR-21 is probably the most characterized miRNA associated with gemcitabine resistance. Tissue samples of PDA patients treated with gemcitabine indicate that miR-21 expression is directly correlated with chemotherapy resistance. Patients with high miR-21 expression have significantly shorter overall survival; consistently, overexpression of miR-21 in primary PDA cells in vitro, decreases the anti-proliferative effect of gemcitabine. miR-21 promotes gemcitabine resistance by targeting phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) or by overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9, and of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which in-turn induces the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Mechanism Description The ECM may provide a mechanical barrier, preventing the tumor from further spread. Disintegration of the ECM by MMPs enables cancer cells to dissociate from the tumor and metastasize. Apart from destabilizing the physical barrier, MMPs overexpression also regulates internal cellular cascades. In response to collagen deposition in the ECM, an MMP dependent ERK-1/2 phosphorylation occurs, triggering the transcription factor HMGA2 and gemcitabine resistance.

Mechanism Description The long non-coding RNA HOTTIP promotes progression and gemcitabine resistance by regulating HOXA13 in pancreatic cancer.Microarray analyses revealed that HOTTIP was one of the most significantly upregulated LncRNAs in PDAC tissues compared with pancreatic tissues.Furthermore, knockdown of HOXA13 by RNA interference (siHOXA13) revealed that HOTTIP promoted PDAC cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance, at least partly through regulating HOXA13. As a crucial tumor promoter, HOTTIP promotes cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance by modulating HOXA13. Therefore, the HOTTIP/HOXA13 axis is a potential therapeutic target and molecular biomarker for PDAC.

Mechanism Description The in vitro drug sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells was altered according to the miR-1246 expression via CCNG2. In vivo, we found that miR-1246 could increase tumour-initiating potential and induced drug resistance. A high expression level of miR-1246 was correlated with a worse prognosis and CCNG2 expression was significantly lower in those patients. miR-1246 expression was associated with chemoresistance and CSC-like properties via CCNG2, and could predict worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.

Mechanism Description Histone acetylation levels at miR-21 promoter were increased in PDAC cells after treatment with gemcitabine. Enhanced invasion and metastasis, increased miR-21 expression, decreased PTEN, elevated pAkT level were demonstrated in gemcitabine-resistant HPAC and PANC-1 cells. Pre-miR-21 transfection or TSA treatment further increased invasion and metastasis ability, decreased PTEN, and elevated pAkT levels in these two lines. In contrast, anti-miR-21 transfection could reverse invasion and metastasis, and PTEN and pAkT expressions induced by gemcitabine.

Mechanism Description Let-7b repletion selectively sensitized kRAS mutant tumor cells to the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Transfection of let-7b mimic downregulated the expression of mutant but not wild-type kRAS. Combination of let-7b mimic with paclitaxel or gemcitabine diminished MEk/ERk and PI3k/AkT signaling concurrently, triggered the onset of apoptosis, and reverted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in kRAS mutant tumor cells. In addition, let-7b repletion downregulated the expression of beta-tubulin III and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2, two proteins known to mediate tumor resistance to paclitaxel and gemcitabine, respectively. Let-7 may represent a new class of chemosensitizer for the treatment of kRAS mutant tumors.

Additionally, miR-497 expression was significantly downregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with tumor-adjacent samples. Low expression of miR-497 was an independent adverse prognostic factor of pancreatic cancer. miR-497 plays a role in modulating the malignant phenotype and chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells by directly inhibition of FGF2 and FGFR1 expression.

Mechanism Description Re-expression of miR-200 in gemcitabine-resistant cells showed partial reversal of EMT characteristics as documented by increased expression of E-cadherin and decreased expression of vimentin, ZEB1, and slug. These results suggest that miR-200 family regulates the expression of ZEB1, slug, E-cadherin, and vimentin and that the re-expression of miR-200 could be useful for the reversal of EMT phenotype to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). re-expression of miR-200 by transfection studies or treatment of gemcitabine-resistant cells with either DIM or isoflavone resulted in the down-regulation of ZEB1, slug, and vimentin, which was consistent with morphological reversal of EMT phenotype leading to epithelial morphology.

Mechanism Description Re-expression of miR-200 in gemcitabine-resistant cells showed partial reversal of EMT characteristics as documented by increased expression of E-cadherin and decreased expression of vimentin, ZEB1, and slug. These results suggest that miR-200 family regulates the expression of ZEB1, slug, E-cadherin, and vimentin and that the re-expression of miR-200 could be useful for the reversal of EMT phenotype to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). re-expression of miR-200 by transfection studies or treatment of gemcitabine-resistant cells with either DIM or isoflavone resulted in the down-regulation of ZEB1, slug, and vimentin, which was consistent with morphological reversal of EMT phenotype leading to epithelial morphology.

Mechanism Description Let-7b repletion selectively sensitized kRAS mutant tumor cells to the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Transfection of let-7b mimic downregulated the expression of mutant but not wild-type kRAS. Combination of let-7b mimic with paclitaxel or gemcitabine diminished MEk/ERk and PI3k/AkT signaling concurrently, triggered the onset of apoptosis, and reverted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in kRAS mutant tumor cells. In addition, let-7b repletion downregulated the expression of beta-tubulin III and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2, two proteins known to mediate tumor resistance to paclitaxel and gemcitabine, respectively. Let-7 may represent a new class of chemosensitizer for the treatment of kRAS mutant tumors.

Furthermore, fibroblast growth factor 2 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 were confirmed as miR-497 targets. Overexpression of miR-497 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, miR-497 expression was significantly downregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with tumor-adjacent samples. Low expression of miR-497 was an independent adverse prognostic factor of pancreatic cancer. miR-497 plays a role in modulating the malignant phenotype and chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells by directly inhibition of FGF2 and FGFR1 expression.

Overexpression of miR-181c induced hyperactivation of the YAP/TAZ and (+) expression of the Hippo signaling downstream genes CTGF, BIRC5 and BLC2L1, leading to pancreatic cancer cell survival and chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, high miR-181c levels were significantly correlated with Hippo signaling inactivation in pancreatic cancer samples, and predicted a poor patient overall survival.

Mechanism Description Let-7b repletion selectively sensitized kRAS mutant tumor cells to the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and gemcitabine. Transfection of let-7b mimic downregulated the expression of mutant but not wild-type kRAS. Combination of let-7b mimic with paclitaxel or gemcitabine diminished MEk/ERk and PI3k/AkT signaling concurrently, triggered the onset of apoptosis, and reverted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in kRAS mutant tumor cells. In addition, let-7b repletion downregulated the expression of beta-tubulin III and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2, two proteins known to mediate tumor resistance to paclitaxel and gemcitabine, respectively. Let-7 may represent a new class of chemosensitizer for the treatment of kRAS mutant tumors.
