Recent studies have shown that non-enzymatic function of CD73 play a key role in tumor progression, but this function of CD73 in pancreatic cancer cells has not been studied. In the present study, PANC-1 cell lines were transfected with CD73 siRNA, and proliferation ability and cell cycle was significantly inhibited. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in CD73 regulation in tumors. Overall design: Six sampels including three CD73 knockdown cells by siRNA and three negative control cell lines were used.
