A Diagram of the CREB1 3′-UTR luciferase reporter constructs containing wild-type or mutant miR-520b binding sites. B Relative luciferase activity in BGC823 cells cotransfected with wild-type or mutated reporter plasmids and miR-520b or controls. C PCR analysis of CREB1 mRNA expression in BGC823 and MKN45 cells transfected with miR-520b mimics and inhibitors, respectively. D Western blot analysis of CREB1 protein levels in the indicated GC cells. E Transwell assays of the migration and invasion abilities of BGC823 cells transfected with miR-520b, the CREB1 plasmid (CREB1) or the control plasmid vector (vector). F Western blot analysis of GATA6 and CREB1 expression in SGC7901 and MKN45 cells transduced with LV-GATA6 and LV-shGATA6 and an empty control vector, respectively. G Schematic structure of the CREB1 upstream promoter containing one GATA6-binding site. ChIP assays showing that GATA6 could not bind upstream of the CREB1 promoter region in SGC7901 cells. H Western blot analysis of GATA6 and CREB1 expression in BGC823 and SGC7901 cells infected with GATA6 or vector control and transfected with miR-520b inhibitor or control. I Negative correlation between miR-520b or GATA6 and CREB1 in GC tissues (n = 20). **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. N.S. not significant (p > 0.05)
