YWHAZ acted as the target of miR-149-5p. (A) Starbase3.0 software was conducted to predict the binding sequences between miR-149-5p and YWHAZ-3ʹUTR. (B and C) The effects of miR-149-5p overexpression on luciferase activity of WT-YWHAZ and MUT-YWHAZ reporters in HGC-27 and AGS cells were measured by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. (D) MiR-149-5p level was detected in HGC-27 and AGS cells transfected with miR-NC and miR-149-5p mimic. (E and F) YWHAZ level was measured in HGC-27 and AGS cells transfected with miR-NC and miR-149-5p mimic. (G and H) YWHAZ protein level was detected in GC tissues, GC cell lines (HGC-27 and AGS cells) and respective control groups. (I and J) YWHAZ level was measured in HGC-27 and AGS cells transfected with pc-NC and pc-YWHAZ. (K and L) YWHAZ level was detected in HGC-27 and AGS cells treated with miR-NC, miR-149-5p mimic, miR-149-5p mimic +pc-NC and miR-149-5p mimic + pc-YWHAZ. (M and N) Capacities of migration and invasion were analyzed in treated HGC-27 and AGS cells. *P <0.05.
