Abstract

Aim: To analyze gene expression and copy number of five miRNAs (miR-1204, miR-1205, miR-1206, miR-1207 and miR-1208) localized in this chromosome region in gastric cancer (GC). Materials\& methods: 65 paired neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens collected from GC patients and 20 non-neoplastic gastric tissues from cancer-free individuals were included in this study. The expression levels of the five miRNAs were accessed by real time qPCR and were correlated. Results: MiR-1207-3p, miR-1205, miR-1207-5p and miR-1208 were upregulated in approximately 50% of GC tumors in relation to those of adjacent non-neoplastic tissues. MiR-1205 expression was associated with gain of gene copies and was upregulated in adjacent non-neoplastic samples relative to external controls. Conclusion: The coexpression of the 8q24 miRNAs indicated the role of miR-1205 in the initiation of gastric cancer development. (AU)
