Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second most common cancer cause of cancer‑related mortality worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of GC. miR‑876‑5p demonstrated an antitumor role in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer; however, the function of miR‑876‑5p has not yet been fully identified in GC. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of miR‑876‑5p in GC. The results of the present study demonstrated low expression levels of miR‑876‑5p in GC tumor tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‑876‑5p inhibited GC cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, whilst miR‑876‑5p knockdown promoted GC cell proliferation and decreased cisplatin sensitivity of GC cells. Transforming growth factor β‑receptor 1 was demonstrated to be a potential target gene of miR‑876‑5p. Overall, the results of the present study suggest that miR‑876‑5p plays an antitumor role in GC.
