Core Tip
Core tip: In this study, we found that miR-30b expression was reduced in gastric cancer cell lines and in gastric cancer tissues. Moreover, we found that miR-30b inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and promoted apoptosis by targeting EIF5A2. Restoration of miR-30b expression could enhance E-cadherin and β-catenin expression and suppress Vimentin expression by targeting EIF5A2 and eventually inhibit the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in gastric cancer cells, whereas knockdown of miR-30b promoted cell invasion and EMT in cancer cells.
