Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant global health concern, ranking as the fifth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The role of miR-502-5p in various cancers has been studied, but its specific impact on gastric cancer through exosomes is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of exosome-derived miR-502-5p in gastric cancer.
Methods: Differential expression of miR-502-5p in tissues or serum of GC patients was determined using qRT-PCR. The impact of miR-502-5p on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was assessed through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The potential of exosome-miR-502-5p to inhibit metastatic ability was also explored by using vivo and vitro assay. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism of miR-502-5p in gastric cancer was investigated using western blotting.
Results: It was found that miR-502-5p suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. Exosome-miR-502-5p expression was negatively linked to metastatic ability and demonstrated inhibition of metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, miR-502-5p appeared to inhibit angiogenesis through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in gastric cancer.
Conclusions: Exosomal miR-502-5p acts as a suppressor in the development and progression of gastric cancer, suggesting its potential as a target for anti-cancer therapy or as a diagnostic biomarker.
期刊介绍:
The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker.
The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
