  • Title: miR-6838-5p Affects Cell Growth, Migration, and Invasion by Targeting GPRIN3 via the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Gastric Cancer.
    Author: Zhou W, Ding X, Jin P, Li P.
    Journal: Pathobiology; 2020; 87(6):327-337. PubMed ID: 33254176.
    Abstract:
    Gastric cancer (GC) is a highly prevalent digestive malignant tumor, ranking second in the tumor-related mortality globally. The microRNAs have been confirmed to be connected with GC progression. Accumulative evidence has suggested that miR-6838-5p exerts a suppressive effect on human cancers. Nonetheless, whether miR-6838-5p is involved in the regulation of GC remains to be investigated. During our research, miR-6838-5p was downregulated in GC cells. Upregulated miR-6838-5p repressed GC cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, miR-6838-5p overexpression repressed the nuclear import of β-catenin, thus inactivating Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Moreover, we observed that GPRIN3 was targeted by miR-6838-5p in GC with luciferase reporter and RIP assays. GPRIN3 upregulation reversed the suppression of miR-6838-5p in GC cellular processes. These findings suggest miR-6838-5p restrains the malignant behaviors of GC cells via targeting GPRIN3 to repress Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which may provide novel targets for GC treatment.
