Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the role of miR-142-5p in gastric cancer(GC) cells and its mechanism. METHODS: The expression of miR-142-5p was detected by qRT-PCR; the effects of microRNA-142-5p on cell proliferation and migration were studied by CCK8 and Transwell assays; and the target of miR-142-5p was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay gene and Western blot assays. RESULTS:The expression of miR-142-5p in GC tissue and cell line was lower than that in normal gastric tissues and GES-1 cells, and the expression level of miR-142-5p was closely related to tumor size and lymph node metastasis. Overexpression of miR-142-5p in MKN28 cells and silencing miR-142-5p in BGC-823 cells inhibited and promoted the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells, respectively. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) was the direct target of miR-142-5p, which could directly be regulated by miR-142-5p, and miR-142-5p regulated the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells through DNMT1. CONCLUSION: miR-142-5p is decreased in GC, implying an anti-oncogenetic effect to inhibit the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting DNMT1.

Key words: gastric cancer, miR-142-5p, proliferation, migration, DNA methyltransferase 1
