Abstract

17 Background: Abnormal gene expression is closely related to the development and poor prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). Since gene does not work alone, we are aimed to elucidate the potential networks between mRNA and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this study. Methods: Based on the TCGA database, we obtained the differentially expressed RNAs and constructed the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Results: We found a regulatory network based on ANGPT2. We observed ANGPT2 is overexpressed in GC cells and tissues and associated with poor prognosis. ANGPT2 promotes proliferation, invasion, and EMT in GC cells, which could be abolished by miR-145. In addition, LINC00184 can be used as a ceRNA to inhibit the expression of miR-145, thus enhancing the carcinogenic effect of ANGPT2. Conclusions: Our results suggested that LINC00184/miR-145/ANGPT2 axis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of GC and may be potential biomarkers and targets for the treatment of GC.
