Abstract:
Background:Gastric cancer (GC) is a common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in GC development. This study aims to explore the effect of microRNA-93-5p (miR-93-5p) on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC, via AHNAK and the Wnt signaling pathway. Methods:Microarray-based gene expression analysis was performed to identify GC-related differentially expressed miRNAs and genes. Then the expression of the miR-93-5p was examined in GC tissues and GC cell lines. The targeting relationship between miR-93-5p and AHNAK was verified by a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. In an attempt to ascertain the contributory role of miR-93-5p in GC, miR-93-5p mimic or inhibitor, as well as an AHNAK overexpression vector, were introduced to HGC-27 cells. HGC-27 cell migration and invasive ability, and EMT were assayed using Transwell assay and western blot analysis. Regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway was also assessed using TOP/FOP flash luciferase assay. Results:miR-93-5p was highly expressed in GC tissue samples and cells. Notably, miR-93-5p could target and negatively regulate AHNAK. Down-regulation of miR-93-5p or overexpression of AHNAK could suppress the migration and invasion abilities, in addition to EMT in GC cells via inactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Conclusion:Taken together, downregulation of miR-93-5p attenuated GC development via the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting AHNAK. These findings provide an enhanced understanding of miR-93-5p as a therapeutic target for GC treatment.
