In this study, we found that GLI1, DNMT1 and DNMT3a are over-expressed in PC tissues compared with the corresponding non-cancerous pancreas tissues, then we showed that DNMT1 and DNMT3a expression changed according to the GLI1 expression in PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cell lines by specific GLI1 interference and gene transfection, as well as pharmacological method in vivo. The gene discussed is GLI1; the disease is pachyonychia congenita.
