Expression of miR-634 in gastric carcinoma and its effects on proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells

Abstract

This study aims to observe the expression of microRNA (miR)-634 in different gastric cancer cell lines and tissues, and to study the effects of miR-634 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the gastric cancer cells. The miR-634 mimics and miR-634 inhibitors were transfected by lentivirus into human gastric cancer SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells, and the miR-634 cells without transfection were used as the control group (NC group). The expression of miR-634 in the transfected cells was detected by qRT-PCR. Cell viability was measured by the CCK8 assay. The migration and invasion ability of the cells were detected by scratch assays and Transwell^® chamber assays, respectively, and the luciferase assay verified the binding of miR-634 to the target gene JAG1. The expression level of miR-634 in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines was significantly lower than that in normal adjacent tissues and control cells. The survival of cells was significantly decreased, and number of cells migrating and invading was decreased in the miR-634 mimics group. However, in the miR-634 inhibitor group, the opposite results were observed. Over-expression of miR-634 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cell lines, and the miR-634 target gene was JAG1.

Over-expression of miR-634 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cell lines, and the miR-634 target gene was JAG1.
