The present study aimed to establish a microRNA (miRNA/miR) signature to predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) at the early stage and to investigate the involvement of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in PC. Using mature miRNA expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas, differentially expressed miRNAs in tissues derived from patients exhibiting early PC and tissues from healthy individuals were compared. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method was used to construct a miRNA-based signature for predicting prognosis. The miRNet tool, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the LncRNADisease database were utilized to explore the mechanistic involvement of ceRNAs. A total of seven downregulated miRNAs in PC (miR-424-5p, miR-139-5p, miR-5586-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-3613-5p, miR-454-3p and miR-1271-5p) were selected to generate a signature. Based on this seven-miRNA signature, it was possible to stratify patients with PC into low- and high-risk groups. The overall survival of the low-risk group was significantly longer than that of the high-risk group (P
