    Abstract:
    Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in cellular processes, including the development, proliferation, and migration of cancer cells. We have demonstrated in a prior study that small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5) is dysregulated in gastric cancer (GC). To further explore the underlying mechanisms of SNGH5 function in the development of GC, in this study, we screened the microRNAs interacting with SNHG5 and elucidated their roles in GC. We showed that SNHG5 contains a putative miR-32-binding site and that deletion of this site abolishes the responsiveness to miR-32. Suppression of SNHG5 expression by miR-32 was found to be Argonaute (Ago)2-dependent. Immunoprecipitation showed that SNHG5 could be pulled down from the Ago-2 complex with miR-32. Furthermore, it was reported that Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a target gene of miR-32. In agreement with SNHG5 being a decoy for miR-32, we showed that KLF4 suppression by miR-32 could be partially rescued by SNHG5 overexpression, whereas miR-32 mimic rescued SNHG5 overexpression-mediated suppression of GC cell migration. In addition, we identified a negative correlation between the expression of SNHG5 and miR-32 in GC tissues. Furthermore, KLF4 expression was significantly downregulated in GC specimens, and a negative correlation between miR-32 and KLF4 expression and a positive correlation between KLF4 and SNHG5 expression levels were detected. Overall, this study demonstrated, for the first time, that the SNHG5/miR-32/KLF4 axis functions as an important player in GC cell migration and potentially contributes to the improvement of GC diagnosis and therapy.-Zhao, L., Han, T., Li, Y., Sun, J., Zhang, S., Liu, Y., Shan, B., Zheng D., Shi, J.
