MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be essential regulators in the development and progression of various cancers. The role of miR-188-5p in gastric cancer (GC) has not been determined. In this study, we found that the expression of miR-188-5p was downregulated in GC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. The lowly expressed miR-188-5p was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. Moreover, overexpression of miR-188-5p significantly inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but promoted cellular apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified transcription factor ZFP91 as a target gene of miR-188-5p in GC. We found that miR-188-5p overexpression significantly inhibited the expression of ZFP91 in GC cell lines. There was an inverse correlation between the expression of miR-188-5p and ZFP91 in GC tissues. We found that restoration of ZFP91 in miR-188-5p-overexpressed MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Finally, we also showed that overexpression of miR-188-5p inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Taken together, our findings indicated that miR-188-5p serves as a tumor suppressor in human GC by targeting ZFP91, suggesting that miR-188-5p might be a promising therapeutic target for GC treatment.
