Objective: To observe the effect of miR-124-5p on progression of gastric cancer (GC) and explore the targeting mechanism.
Methods: After collecting the specimens, we used real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect the miR-124-5p level of GC tissue and corresponding adjacent tissue. Then MTT test and scratch wound-healing assay were hired to evaluate the influence of miR-124-5p in GC cell (SGC-803 and SGC7901) migration and proliferation ability. The binding of miR-124-5p to migration and invasion enhancer 1 (MIEN1) was detected through dual luciferase reporter gene experiment and western blot was utilized to assay the protein level of MIEN1.
Results: Compared with adjacent tissues, miR-124-5p level in GC tissues was lower significantly. MiR-124-5p mimic inhibited the metastasis and proliferation ability of SGC7901 cells and miR-124-5p inhibitor promoted the migration and proliferation ability of SGC803 cells. In addition, miR-124-5p targeted MIEN1 and negatively modulated the MIEN1 expression in SGC-803 and SGC7901 cells. Silencing MIEN1 negatively regulated the metastasis and proliferation ability of SGC7901 cells.
Conclusion: MiR-124-5p inhibited the GC cell proliferation and metastasis phenotypes through MIEN1, which probably becomes a novel molecular target for clinical GC treatment.
