Then, we clarified that miR-671-3p could inhibit pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration in TAMs (Additional file 6: Fig. S6a-c) Subsequently, we referenced two potential target genes from four online prediction websites (Starbase, miRWalk, miRbase and RNA22) for miR-671-3p and observed that the expression of NMT1 was not significantly changed after knockdown of LncRNA-PACERR (Additional file 6: Fig. S7a). Here, NMT1 is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
