This study aims to explore the expression and degree of methylation of lncRNA MEG3 in gastric cancer tissues and to analyze its effect on the migration and proliferation of gastric cancer patients and the mechanism by which this occurs. The targeting relationship between MEG3, miR-181a-5p and ATP4B was detected through molecular biology experiments. Wound healing, transwell, colony formation and flow cytometry assays were used to analyze the effects of lncRNA MEG3 and methylation on tumor cell migration, invasion, proliferation and apoptosis. In addition, a tumor xenotransplantation model was established to study the influence of MEG3 on tumor growth in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis showed that lncRNA MEG3 and ATP4B were downregulated in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. Bioinformatics predicted that ATP4B might be regulated by targeting miR-181a-5p. The overexpression of MEG3 and the application of 5-Aza treatment inhibited the migration, invasion and proliferation of MGC-803 cells and promoted apoptosis. In gastric cancer tissues, MEG3 is hypermethylated to decrease expression. Once the expression of MEG3 is restored or methylation is inhibited, tumor growth can be inhibited both in vivo and in vitro. This finding could be utilized as a clinical reference for gastric cancer treatment in the future.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


GenBank (tool)

RRID:SCR_002760

NIH genetic sequence database that provides annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences for almost 280 000 formally described species (Jan 2014) .These sequences are obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing projects, including whole-genome shotgun (WGS) and environmental sampling projects. Most submissions are made using web-based BankIt or standalone Sequin programs, and GenBank staff assigns accession numbers upon data receipt. It is part of International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration and daily data exchange with European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through NCBI Entrez retrieval system, which integrates data from major DNA and protein sequence databases along with taxonomy, genome, mapping, protein structure and domain information, and biomedical journal literature via PubMed. BLAST provides sequence similarity searches of GenBank and other sequence databases. Complete bimonthly releases and daily updates of GenBank database are available by FTP.
