<h4>Purpose</h4>HMGA1 proteins are architectural transcription factors that are overexpressed by pancreatic adenocarcinomas. We previously have shown that RNA interference targeting the HMGA1 gene may represent a potential chemosensitizing strategy in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that HMGA1 promotes chemoresistance to gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer cells.<h4>Experimental design and results</h4>Stable short hairpin RNA-mediated HMGA1 silencing in BxPC ...[more]
