  • Abstract:miRNAs have emerged as crucial regulators in the regulation of development as well as human diseases, especially tumorigenesis. The aims of this study are to evaluate miR-30b-5p expression pattern and mechanism in gastric carcinogenesis due to which remains to be determined. Expression of miR-30b-5p was analyzed in 51 gastric cancer cases and 4 cell lines by qRT-PCR. The effect of DNA methylation on miR-30b-5p expression was assessed by MSP and BGS. In order to know whether DNMT1 increased miR-30b-5p promoter methylation, DNMT1 was depleted in cell lines AGS and BGC-823. The role of miR-30b-5p on cell migration was evaluated by wound healing assays. Decreased expression of miR-30b-5p was found in gastric cancer samples. In tumor, the expression level of miR-30b-5p was profound correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.019). The level of miR-30b-5p may be restored by DNA demethylation and DNMT1 induced miR-30b-5p promoter methylation. In vitro functional assays implied that enforced miR-30b-5p expression affected cell migration, consistent with tissues analysis. Our findings uncovered that miR-30b-5p is significantly diminished in gastric cancer tissues, providing the first insight into the epigenetic mechanism of miR-30b-5p down-regulation, induced by DNMT1, and the role of miR-30b-5p in gastric cancer carcinogenesis. Overexpression of miR-30b-5p inhibited cell migration. Thus, miR-30b-5p may represent a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer therapy.
