MicroRNAs are an evolutionarily conserved class of endogenous noncod-ing RNAs that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, microRNA-23a (miR-23a) has been found to function as a growth-promoting and antiapoptotic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. | MicroRNA-23a promotes the growth of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line MGC803 and downregulates interleukin-6 receptor Li-Hua Zhu1 2 Tao Liu1 Hua Tang1 Rui-Qing Tian1 Chang Su1 Min Liu1 and Xin Li1 1 Tianjin Life Science Research Center and Basic Medical School Tianjin MedicalUniversity Tianjin China 2 Department of Pathobiology Bioscience Faculty North China CoalMedicalCollege Tangshan China Keywords cell growth gastric adenocarcinoma IL6R miR-23a target gene Correspondence H.

Recently microRNA-23a miR-23a has been found to function as a growth-promoting and antiapoptotic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Our previous study showed that miR-23a was significantly upregulat-ed in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues. In this study we found that miR-23a promoted the proliferative potential of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line MGC803. We also identified IL6R as a direct target gene for miR-23a using a fluorescent reporter assay. The mRNA and protein levels of IL6R were both inversely correlated with the miR-23a expression level. Our results demonstrate that miR-23a can target IL6R and promote the growth activity of gastric adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. The downregulation of IL6R by miR-23a may explain why the suppression of miR-23a can inhibit gastric cancer cell proliferation. doi Introduction Recent findings have shown that as regulation factors of gene expression microRNAs miRNAs are often overexpressed or downregulated in a number of human malignancies and some can also function as tumor suppressors or .
