Summary:AIM:To investigate the function and mechanism of mi R-133a in gastric cancer(GC)and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of GC.METHODS:A total of 105 GC patients who underwent surgical resection as primary treatment were selected for this study.Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain(q RT-PCR)was used to examine the expression levels of mi R-133a in human GC and adjacent non-tumor tissues,as well as in GC cell lines(SGC-7901,BGC-823,MGC-803,and AGS)and a human gastric mucosal epithelial cell line(GES-1).The biological role of mi RNA(mi R)-133a was assessed in the GC cell lines using MTT,apoptosis,migration and invasion,and colony formation assays,and xenograft tumorigenesis.q RT-PCR and western blot analyses were used to evaluate the potential target gene expression of mi R-133a.Pearson’s correlation was calculated to evaluate the correlation between mi R-133a and insulinlike growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1R)expression.The regulation of IGF1R by mi R-133a was verified using the luciferase reporter assay.RESULTS:In 80%of the 105 GC patients,the mean expression of mi R-133a was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues(1.215±0.1477 vs 3.093±0.4104,P<0.0001).Downregulation of mi R-133a was significantly correlated with the degree of differentiation(P=0.01),local invasion(P=0.001)and TNM stage(P=0.02)in GC patients.Compared with a control construct,forced expression of mi R-133a in GC cell lines inhibited proliferation(0.4787±0.0219 vs 0.7050±0.0147,P=0.0013 in SGC-7901 cells;and 0.5448±0.0085vs 0.7270±0.0084,P=0.001 in MGC-803 cells);migration(0.6333±0.0233 vs 1.037±0.0584,P=0.003 in SGC-7901 cells;0.6126±0.0311 vs 1.024±0.0456,P=0.0017 in MGC-803 cells);and invasion(0.613±0.0399 vs 1.033±0.0278,P=0.0013 in SGC-7901 cells;0.7433±0.0221 vs 1.017±0.0311,P=0.002 in MGC-803 cells).It also induced apoptosis(18.19%±0.2483%vs 5.887%±0.3837%,P<0.0001 in SGC-7901 cells;22.69%±0.7846%vs9.347%±0.3012%,P<0.0001 in MGC-803 cells).Furthermore,mi R-133a inhibited tumor growth and xenograft tumorigenesis of SGC-7901 cells in vivo.In addition,we identified IGF1R as a regulatory target of mi R-133a in GC.CONCLUSION:This study suggests that mi R-133a is downregulated in GC and functions as a tumor suppressor in vitro and in vivo partly by repressing IGF1R.
