Purpose   To mine miR expression in glioma based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and to explore its effects on biological functions.Methods   Differentially expressed miRs in glioma-related chips were found out based on the GEO database. Fifty patients with glioma treated in our hospital from February 2012 to July 2013 (observation group, OG) and a further 50 healthy people undergoing physical examinations (control group, CG) were enrolled. miR-873-5p expression in serum and in U87, T98G, U251, LN-229, and HEK-293T cells was tested by qRT-PCR. T98G and U251 cells were transfected with miR-873-5p-mimics and miR-NC sequences. The expression in the two cells was also tested by qRT-PCR. The proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of the transfected cells were, respectively, tested by MTT assay, Transwell, and flow cytometry. The patients were followed up for 5 years to observe their survival.Results   miR-873-5p expression in OG was remarkably higher than that in CG ( p  < 0.001). miR-873-5p was closely correlated with the tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and TNM staging of the patients ( p  < 0.05). According to the plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the areas under the curves (AUCs) of miR-873-5p for diagnosing the disease, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and TNM staging were 0.842, 0.706, 0.865, and 0.793, respectively. The 5-year and recurrence-free survival rates in the low expression group were lower than those in the high expression group. According to multivariate Cox regression analysis, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and miR-873-5p were independent prognostic factors for the disease. After transfection, compared with those in the miR-NC group, T98G and U251 cells in the miR-873-5p-mimic group had remarkably higher miR-873-5p expression ( p  < 0.05), remarkably lower proliferation and invasion rates ( p  < 0.05), and a remarkably higher apoptotic rate ( p  < 0.05).Conclusions   miR-873-5p can inhibit glioma cells to proliferate and invade, and promote their apoptosis, so it is expected to become a potential diagnostic index and therapeutic target for glioma.
