Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) caused by malignant transformation of gastric adenocytes is a malignancy with high incidence. MiR-195-5p modulates a variety of cancers. One of its target genes, orthodenticle homeobox 1 (OTX1), is believed to be a key modulator of tumor progression. We aim to analyze the mechanism of miR-195-5p and OTX1 in GAC. MiR195-5p and OTX1 mRNA levels in GAC cells were tested via qRT-PCR. OTX1 protein and EMT-related protein levels were examined through western blot. Several cell functional assays were designed to measure changes in cell malignant behaviors. Dual luciferase assay verified the targeting relation of miR-195-5p and OTX1. These experimental results showed significantly low miR-195-5p expression and significantly high OTX1 expression in GAC cells. Enforced miR-195-5p level repressed cell malignant progression and accelerated cell apoptosis in GAC. Increased OTX1 weakened the above-mentioned effect caused by overexpressing miR-195-5p. Thus, miR-195-5p restrained migration, proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition process of GAC cells, and promoted cell apoptosis through regulating OTX1. A new insight is provided for searching for biomarkers or therapeutic targets of GAC.
