MiRNA-194 predicts favorable prognosis in gastric cancer and inhibits gastric cancer cell growth by targeting CCND1.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play critical roles in regulating target gene expression and multiple cellular processes in human cancer malignant progression. However, the function of miR-194 in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear and controversial. In this study, we identified a series of miRNAs that can serve as prognostic biomarkers for GC by analysis of miRNA expression using The Cancer Genome Atlas data. Among them, miR-100, miR-125b, miR-199a, and miR-194 were the four most promising prognostic biomarkers in GC due to their significant associations with various clinical characteristics of patients. miR-100, miR-125b, and miR-199a predicted poor prognosis in GC, while miR-194 predicted favorable prognosis in GC. We also provide the first comprehensive transcriptome analysis of miR-194 in GC. Our
