Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major health threat worldwide, and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in China. The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) has provided a new and powerful tool for studying diagnostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets in GC. By using microarray analyses of benign and malignant gastric epithelial cell lines (HFE145, NCI-N87, MKN28, RF1, KATO III and RF48), we discovered dysregulated 16 miRNAs, of which 11 were validated by real-time qRT-PCR. Based on miRWalk online database scans, 2532 potential mRNA targets of these 16 miRNAs were identified. Bioinformatic analyses suggested that these predicted targets were principally involved in tumor pathogenesis, MAPK signaling, and apoptosis. Finally, miRNA-gene network analyses identified miRNA- 125b as being potentially vitally important in GC.
