MicroRNA‑153 may act as a potential biomarker and prognostic indicator of patients with gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA (miR/miRNA)-153, as a novel tumor-related miRNA, has been found to be aberrantly expressed in different types of cancer; however, to the best of our knowledge, the role of miR-153 in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that miR-153 expression was markedly decreased in GC, including GC cell lines and culture medium, GC tissues, and serum samples, based on reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and this was further confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Transfection with miR-153 mimics inhibited proliferation and migration, and promoted apoptosis in GC cells. The serum expression levels of miR-153 were decreased in 59 patients with GC compared with those of 9 healthy controls, and more decreased in advanced GC compared with early-sta
