    Reduced miR-184-3p Expression Protects Pancreatic β-Cells From Lipotoxic and Proinflammatory Apoptosis in Type 2 Diabetes via CRTC1 Upregulation

    Scientists report reduced miR-184-3p levels in human type 2 diabetes pancreatic islets, whereas its direct target CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) was increased and protects β-cells from lipotoxicity- and inflammation-induced apoptosis.

    MicroRNA-497 Prevents Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cell Gemcitabine Resistance, Migration, and Invasion by Directly Targeting Nuclear Factor Kappa B 1

    The authors demonstrated that overexpression of nuclear factor kappa B 1 could promote the viability, migration, and invasion of gemcitabine-treated pancreatic cancer stem cells, but this effect could be partially abolished by miR-497 overexpression.
