Background: We previously showed that miR-301a-3p affects the invasion and migration abilities of pancreatic cancer cells. Here, we explore the role of miR-301a-3p in chemoresistance, which represents a major obstacle in cancer treatment.

Methods: We tested the effects of miR-301a-3p ongemcitabine resistance in cytotoxicity assays and .
