As to PanC, miR-29a plays an oncogenic role, as it is up-regulated in PanC cell lines and tissues, and promotes tumor cell proliferation and the mesenchymal-epithelial transition phenotype by modulating the expression of Tristetraprolin (46) the mRNA-destabilizing protein previously identified as a target of miR-29a (47). Here, ZFP36 is linked to neoplasm.
