Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | gastric cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C16 |
| Methods | qPCR, Luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay etc. |
| Sample | gastric cancer tissues, cell lines (MGC-803, HGC-27, MKN-45, SGC-7901, BGC-823, AGS) |
| Expression Pattern | down-regulated |
| Function Description | MEG3 is decreased in GC patients and cell lines, and its expression was associated with metastatic GC. Furthermore, ectopic expression of MEG3 in HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis, which might be due to MEG3 sequestering oncogenic miR-181 s in GC cells. Furthermore, MEG3 could up-regulated Bcl-2 via its competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) activity on miR-181a. |

| Title | Long non-coding RNA MEG3 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate gastric cancer progression. |
