Our data identified altered expressions of a number of novel genes under miR-29a regulation, including IGF-1, COL5A3, CLDN1, E2F7, MYBL2, ITGA6, ADAMTS2, and related pathways such as insulin-IRF, RAS/MAPK, laminin and collagen pathways in PSCs that are dysregulated or associate with PDAC tumor-stromal crosstalk and ECM remodeling. The gene discussed is E2F7; the disease is neoplasm.
