Abstract 3564: MicroRNA-145 gene therapy for pancreatic cancer using exosome as carrier source derived from cancer cells

Background-Pancreatic cancer (PanCa) is the third deadliest cancer in United States with a poor survival rate. Despite extensive research efforts, there is no substantial progress in cancer therapeutics due to barrier against intracellular drug delivery. Our group has previously identified that microRNA-145 (miR-145) is downregulated in PanCa, the restoration of which inhibits tumor growth and enhances gemcitabine sensitivity. However, lack of...
