The study by Lin et al. demonstrated that the downregulation of miR-1179 in pancreatic cancer promotes cell proliferation through the silencing of E2F transcription factor 5 and that ectopic expression of miR-1179 suppresses migration, invasion, and proliferation by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest [43]. Here, CEBPB is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
