OBJECTIVE:It has been well-established that microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of short non-coding RNA molecules, play an important role in the development of gastric cancer. In the present study, we focused on miR-105, a novel miRNA not previously linked to gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS:36 paired surgically resected gastric cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues were used to detect the expression of miR-105. AGS cells were used to overexpress or silence of miR-105 and to determine its effect on several tumorigenic properties. A cell proliferation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze the incorporation of BrdU during DNA synthesis of AGS cells. Total cDNA from AGS cells was used to amplify the 3'-UTR of YY1 by PCR and luciferase activity was determined using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System RESULTS: We found that expression of miR-105 was reduced in gastric cancer tissues, compared with adjacent normal tissues, due to hypermethylation at its promoter region. Overexpression of miR-105 suppressed, whereas its inhibition promoted cell viability and proliferation. We further identified Yin Yang 1 (YY1) as a direct target of miR-105, by which miR-105 exerted its anti-proliferative role. Moreover, we found that DNMT3A was responsible for the down-regulation of miR-105 in gastric cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS:Our data demonstrate that miR-105 inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation and progression, which might provide a therapeutical target for cancer therapy.
