Deregulation of MicroRNA-375 Inhibits Proliferation and Migration in Gastric Cancer in Association With Autophagy-Mediated AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathways.
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment 2018 January 2
Gastric cancer is a deadly disease. Some microRNAs are involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Underexpression of miR-375 has been correlated with tumorigenesis, treatment resistance, and poor prognosis. In this study, we first analyzed the profiles and prognostic values of miR-375 expression in gastric cancer tissues from a public database, and the expression level of miR-375 in gastric cancer samples and gastric cancer cell lines was then analyzed by quantitative real- time polymerase chain reaction. Significant underexpression of miR-375 was seen in all the gastric cancer samples compared to paired paracarcinoma tissues, and the expression level of miR-375 in the gastric cancer cell lines was negatively associated with the cell migration ability. A Cell proliferation (CCK-8) assay was performed to examine cell viability. Overexpression of miR-375 suppressed the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. A Western blot analysis was carried out to test protein expression. Overexpression of miR-375 inhibited autophagy through the AKT/ mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. MiR-375 regulated invasion and migration via AKT/ mammalian target of rapamycin pathway-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Wound healing and migration assays were used to determine the motility of gastric cancer cells. A gastric cancer xenograft nude mouse model was used for an in vivo efficacy evaluation. Overexpression of miR-375 significantly suppressed cell proliferation in the established gastric cancer xenograft nude mouse model. Our results demonstrate that increasing the expression level of miR-375 suppresses proliferation in vitro and in vivo, and they provide a mechanistic and applicable rationale for the future clinical evaluation of miR-375 in gastric cancer treatment. Our findings provide not only new information about the molecular mechanism of microRNAs in regulating invasion and migration in gastric cancer but also a theoretical principle for a potential targeted therapy for gastric cancer.
