Abstract
Although many methods and new therapeutic drugs have been developed, the overall survival rate and long-term survival rate of patients with gastric cancer (GC) are still not satisfactory. In this study, we investigated the effects of microRNA miR-133a-3p and transcription factor FOXP3 on proliferation and autophagy of GC cells and their interactions. Our results showed that knockdown of FOXP3 increased the proliferation and autophagy of GC cells. The relationship between FOXP3 and autophagy has not been reported previously. In addition, FOXP3 could directly bind the promoter region of TP53 and inhibit its expression. miR-133a-3p increased the proliferation and autophagy via decreasing the protein level of FOXP3 by targeting its 3'-UTR. Our research provides new insights into the development of GC and provides new ideas and theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of GC and the development of new drug targets.
