To identify upstream molecules that regulate YOD1 mRNA levels in PAAD, we evaluated the miRNA-YOD1 network in PAAD. The result is shown in Fig. 7A. Usually miRNAs inhibit the expression of target genes, so we focused on negative correlations and P < 0.0005 of 12 miRNAs (hsa-mir-675; hsa-miR-150; hsa-miR-202; hsa-miR-1468; hsa-miR-139; hsa-miR-140; hsa-miR-218; hsa-miR-9; hsa-miR-342; hsa-miR-375; hsa-miR-500a; hsa-miR-433). Here, YOD1 is linked to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
