The E-cadherin protein expression was significantly increased in pancreatic cancer cells overexpressing MiR-4723, while it was decreased in cells overexpressing CAV2 or Wnt7A; the Vimentin and Snail protein expression was decreased in pancreatic cancer cells overexpressing MiR-4723 but increased in pancreatic cells overexpressing CAV2 or Wnt7A (Fig. 6D,7C). This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
