Abstract

miR‑124‑3p has been implicated in a variety of cancers. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the expression, prognostic roles and functions of miR‑124‑3p in gastric cancer. Functional studies indicated that ectopic overexpression of miR‑124‑3p in gastric cancer cells suppressed cell viability and plate colony formation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. In situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that decreased expression of miR‑124‑3p was associated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis, as well as shorter overall survival and disease‑free survival rates. Furthermore, it was observed that miR‑124‑3p repressed the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer by targeting Ras‑related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) and specificity protein 1 (SP1). Collectively, these results indicate a potential underlying mechanism for the regulation of gastric cancer by miR‑124‑3p involving targeting of Rac1 and SP1. Thus, miR‑124‑3p may be an independent indicator of survival and treatment strategy for patients with gastric cancer.
