Retracted: Alkannin represses growth of pancreatic cancer cells based on the down regulation of miR‐199a

Alkannin displays tumor suppressive activity by initiating apoptosis. Here, we corroborated its role in pancreatic carcinoma (PANC‐1) cells and addressed the molecular mechanism in which microRNA‐199a (miR‐199a) and Klotho might be implicated. PANC‐1 and MIN6 cells were treated by alkannin and its role was evaluated in cellular viability. Next we assessed the ability of PANC‐1 cells to proliferate, migrate, and invade as well as apoptosis...
