Figure 1 Functions of microRNA-106b-25.
By interfering with the expression of CDKN1 (p2lWaf1/Cip1) and BCL2L11 (Bim), the interaction of miR-106b-25 with E2F1 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) affects the cell cycle and apoptosis. miR: microRNA.
Figure 2 Roles of microRNA-195/microRNA-378 in gastric cancer.
Due to promoter methylation, miR-195 and miR-378 are down-regulated in gastric cancer compared with non-tumor tissue. miR-195 and miR-378 mimics inhibited tumor cell growth and promoted the growth of normal gastric epithelial cells. miR: microRNA.
Figure 3 Molecular mechanisms of the microRNA-129 family in regulating the cell cycle in gastric cancer.
Cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) is a target of three members of the miR-129 family. Thus, increased miR-129 in gastric cancer cells might decrease CDK6 levels, affecting G1-S transition. miR: microRNA.
