Anti-tumor activity of a novel compound-CDF is mediated by regulating miR-21, miR-200, and PTEN in pancreatic cancer. by Bin Bao, Shadan Ali, Dejuan Kong, Sanila H Sarkar, Zhiwei Wang, Sanjeev Banerjee, Amro Aboukameel, Subhash Padhye, Philip A Philip, Fazlul H Sarkar

“…<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>In the current study we showed, for the first time, that CDF could significantly inhibit the sphere-forming ability (pancreatospheres) of PC cells consistent with increased disintegration of pancreatospheres, which was associated with attenuation of CSC markers (CD44 and EpCAM), especially in gemcitabine-resistant (MIAPaCa-2) PC cells containing high proportion of CSCs consistent with increased miR-21 and decreased miR-200. …”
