Few reports link miR-193a and TGF-β; miR-193a/b overexpression significantly repressed TGF-β1 in hepatic stellar cells [65], and there is evidence that miR-193a stimulates pancreatic cancer cell repopulation and metastasis through modulating TGF-β2 [66]. Here, TGFB1 is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
