Our results show that miR-34 restoration in human pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa2 and BxPC3 cells inhibited the expression of target genes, Bcl-2, Notch1 and Notch2; significantly inhibited clonogenic cell growth and invasion; induced apoptosis and G1 and G2/M arrest; and sensitized the cells to chemotherapy and radiation. This evidence concerns the gene NOTCH2 and pancreatic neoplasm.
