JAK2 and neoplasm: Our in silico analysis revealed that miR-216 and miR-217 potentially target many important genes that play critical roles during the pathogenesis of PC (Table 1); and the downregulation of miR-217 [45] and miR-216 [44] suggests their potential as tumor suppressors in PC by targeting downstream targets, particularly the Kras oncogene [43] and Janus kinase 2 [44].
