Abstract

miR-519d inhibits cell growth, migration, and invasion, but its role in gastric cancer (GC) cells is obscure. We showed that miR-519d-3p was lowly expressed in GC tissues and was associated with the clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of GC tissues. We found that miR-519d-3p repressed cell proliferation and invasion of MGC803 cells and delayed the G1/S phase transition, resulting in decreased cyclin B1 and MMP2 and increased E-cadherin levels. Furthermore, miR-519d-3p targeted and downregulated B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) expression. BCL6 overexpression partially abrogated the suppressive function of miR-519d in MGC803 cells. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that miR-519d-3p functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting and downregulating the expression of BCL6 in GC cells.
