TP53 and familial pancreatic carcinoma: This strategy was explored in the current study, where p53 downstream target miR-34 was restored in p53-mutant pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa2 cells with a high level of Bcl-2 and low levels of miR-34s, resulting in downregulation of Bcl-2 and Notch1-2, together with the inhibited clonogenic cell growth and invasion; increased apoptosis and G1 and G2/M arrest in cell cycle; and sensitization to chemotherapy and radiation.
