Abstract:
:Pancreatic cancer is characterized by chemoresistance after several cycles of chemotherapy, which is a major issue responsible for treatment failure of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the specific mechanism underlying chemotherapeutic resistance to overcome this issue. Here we report that miR-1266 is dramatically elevated and correlates with poor survival and chemotherapy response in pancreatic cancer patients. Upregulation of miR-1266 enhanced the chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine (GEM) in vitro and in vivo; conversely, inhibition of miR-1266 yielded the opposite effect. Importantly, silencing of miR-1266 restored the sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to GEM in a dose-dependent manner in vivo. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that miR-1266 promotes resistance of pancreatic cancer cells to GEM by targeting multiple negative regulators of the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways, including SOCS3, PTPN11, ITCH, and TNIP1, leading to constitutive activation of STAT3 and NF-κB signaling. Thus, our findings clarify a novel mechanism by which miR-1266 induces chemotherapeutic resistance in pancreatic cancer, indicating that miR-1266 may be used as chemotherapeutic response indicator. Antagomir-1266 as a chemotherapeutic sensitizer, in combination with GEM, may serve as a rational regimen in the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer.
