The overexpression of miR-195-5p can inhibit YAP-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and promote cell apoptosis, so it may be a potential therapeutic target for GC.
Increased expression of BIRC5 was traceable to the dysregulation of miR-195-5p/-218-5p rather than its genetic and epigenetic alterations in GC tissues.
Overall, these findings revealed that ELK1-induced overexpression of TRPM2-AS promoted the development and progression of GC in part through miR-195/HMGA1 signaling axis, and established its candidacy as a new cancer biomarker for GC patients.
In our previous study, we demonstrated that four microRNAs (miRNAs) (miR-26a, miR-142-3p, miR-148a, and miR-195) that were downregulated in both plasma and tumor tissues were confirmed to be promising non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC).
Collectively, our findings demonstrate miR-195 may be of great significance on early diagnosis of gastric cancer, providing the theoretical basis for prognosis and recurrence risk.
Low expression of miR-195 in patients with gastric cancer may play a certain role in promoting the genesis and development of gastric cancer and it can function as a potential novel tumor marker for the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of gastric cancer.
