Aberrant expression of microRNAs contributes to the initiation and progression of numerous human cancers. The underlying effects and molecular mechanisms of microRNA-187 (miR-187) in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. The present study reports that miR-187 was significantly overexpressed in GC tissues compared to that in non-tumor tissues and was associated with malignant clinical factors such as depth of invasion (P = 0.005), tumor size (P = 0.024), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.048), and TNM stage (P = 0.035). Additionally, miR-187 promoted tumor growth in vivo, and significantly increased migration, invasion, and proliferation, but inhibited apoptosis in GC cells. It was found that collapsin response mediator protein 1 (CRMP1), a tumor suppressor, was a direct downstream target of miR-187 in GC. Furthermore, CRMP1 silencing resulted in similar effects on cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis as those of miR-187 overexpressing GC cells. Additionally, the effects of miR-187 inhibitor on cell migration and cell apoptosis were reversed by CRMP1 downregulation. In summary, miR-187 promotes tumor progression by regulating CRMP1 expression in GC and may thus be a potential prognostic marker and a therapeutic target in GC. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.
