摘要
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to be important regulators of GC. This study aims to investigate the role of miRNA (miR)-497 in GC. We demonstrated that the expression of miR-497 was downregulated in human GC tissues. After N-methyl-N-nitrosourea treatment, the incidence of GC in miR-497 knockout mice was significantly higher than that in wild-type mice. miR-497 overexpression suppressed GC cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression, colony formation, antiapoptosis ability, and cell migration and invasion capacity. Additionally, miR-497 overexpression decreased the expression levels of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) and integrin b1 (ITGB1) and inhibited the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), paxillin (PXN), and serine-threonine protein kinase (AKT). Furthermore, overexpression of miR-497 inhibited the metastasis of GC cells in vivo, which could be counteracted by CDC42 restoration. Furthermore, the focal adhesion of GC cells was found to be regulated by miR-497/CDC42 axis via ITGB1/FAK/PXN/AKT signaling. Collectively, it is concluded that miR-497 plays an important role in the repression of GC tumorigenesis and progression, partly via the CDC42/ITGB1/FAK/PXN/AKT pathway.
