Abstract
⺠We identify miR-421 as a novel potential regulator of DPC4/Smad4. ⺠The expression levels of miR-421 and DPC4/Smad4 are inversely correlated in human clinical specimens of pancreatic cancer. ⺠Overexpression of miR-421 represses the reporter activities driven by the 3â²-UTR of DPC4/Smad4 and DPC4/Smad4 protein level in pancreatic cancer cell. ⺠Ectopic expression of miR-421 promotes the proliferation and colony formation of pancreatic cancer cell.
