摘要

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignancy and the fifth highest cause of cancer-related deaths on a global scale. This study reveals that miR-106b-5p promotes malignant phenotypes in GC by targeting retinoblastoma-like protein 2 (RBL2). Using miR-106b-5p mimic/inhibitor and RBL2 overexpression plasmids in AGS/HGC-27 cells, this study demonstrates that miR-106b-5p promotes proliferation (CCK-8/clone formation) and migration/invasion (Transwell assay) and suppresses apoptosis (flow cytometry), while RBL2 rescues these effects. Luciferase assays confirm that miR-106b-5p directly binds the 3’UTR of RBL2 and western blotting demonstrates the presence of RBL2 downregulation. Animal studies further validate the tumour-promoting role of miR-106b-5p via RBL2 suppression, which suggests its therapeutic potential.
