Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be essential regulators in the development and progression
of various cancers. The role of miR-188-5p in gastric cancer (GC) has not been determined. In this study, we
found that the expression of miR-188-5p was downregulated in GC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. The lowly expressed miR-188-5p was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and advanced
TNM stage. Moreover, overexpression of miR-188-5p significantly inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration,
and invasion but promoted cellular apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified transcription factor ZFP91 as a
target gene of miR-188-5p in GC. We More >
