Circadian disruption has been implicated in tumour development, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that the molecular clockwork within malignant human pancreatic epithelium is disrupted and that this disruption is mediated by miR-135b-induced BMAL1 repression. miR-135b directly targets the BMAL1 3'-UTR and thereby disturbs the pancreatic oscillator, and the downregulation of miR-135b is essential for the realignment of the cellular clock. Asynchrony between miR-135b and ...[more]
