Research Abstract |
The mechanism underlying the aberrant miRNA expression in gastric carcinogenesis remains unclear. Here we observed that miR-181c and miR-212 were epigenetically regulated in gastric cancers(GCs). Methylation status at the CpG island of miR-181c was strongly related to its expression levels. Over-expression of these miRNAs significantly reduced cell proliferation, suggesting a tumor suppressive function. Moreover, miR-9 expression was high in GCs with lymph node metastasis and inversely associated with CDX2 expression. Thus altered expression of these miRNAs may contribute to gastric carcinogenesis.
