MiR-200a Suppresses the Proliferation and Metastasis in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma through Downregulation of DEK Gene

MiR-200a has been reported to be able to suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in pancreatic cancer stem cells, suggesting that miR-200a could suppress the metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, its role in proliferation and metastasis of PDAC and the underl...

description MiR-200a has been reported to be able to suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in pancreatic cancer stem cells, suggesting that miR-200a could suppress the metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, its role in proliferation and metastasis of PDAC and the underlying mechanism by which miR-200a works in PDAC have not been elucidated. In our study, we for the first time identified that DEK gene is a direct downstream target of miR-200a. It was found that overexpression of miR-200a decreased DEK expression, suppressing the proliferation, migration, and invasion of PDAC cells. Meanwhile, knockdown of miR-200a can increase DEK level, promoting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of PDAC cells. Our study demonstrated that miR-200a suppresses the metastasis in pancreatic PDAC through downregulation of DEK, suggesting that miR-200a may be used as a novel potential marker in prediction of metastasis of PDAC.
