MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proved involved in many tumorigenic behaviors including tumor growth. But, the clinical significance and functions of miRNA-203 in gastric cancer (GC) remain elusive.
Decreased expression of miRNA-203 was correlated with tumor size, poor prognosis and recurrence in GC patients. Overexpression of miR-203 or knockdown of its target progesterone immunomodulatory binding factor 1 (PIBF1) inhibited GC growth in vitro and in vivo, while miR-203 knockdown promoted GC proliferation. In addition, PIBF1 overexpression attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-203 on GC growth and enhanced that effect on p-Akt expression.
MiR-203 as a tumor biomarker suppresses GC growth through targeting the PIBF1/Akt signaling, suggesting that it may have the important therapeutic potential for the treatment of GC.
微小RNA(miRNA)已被证明参与包括肿瘤生长在内的多种致瘤行为。但是,miRNA-203在胃癌(GC)中的临床意义和功能仍不清楚。
miRNA-203表达降低与GC患者的肿瘤大小、预后不良和复发相关。miR-203过表达或其靶标孕激素免疫调节结合因子1(PIBF1)的敲低在体外和体内均抑制GC生长,而miR-203敲低则促进GC增殖。此外,PIBF1过表达减弱了miR-203对GC生长的抑制作用,并增强了对p-Akt表达的影响。
MiR-203作为一种肿瘤生物标志物,通过靶向PIBF1/Akt信号通路抑制GC生长,表明它可能对GC治疗具有重要的治疗潜力。
