Fig. 9From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: LncRNA PVT1 triggers Cyto-protective autophagy and promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma development via the miR-20a-5p/ULK1 AxisSchematic diagram shows the results of the study. PVT1 is up-regulated in PDA. Moreover, it triggers cyto-protective autophagy and promotes PDA cells growth and progression. It acts as a ceRNA to compete with miR-20a-5p, which leads to enhanced expression of ULK1, a key molecule involved in triggering autophagy initiationBack to article page
