Background  Glycolysis is an important metabolic oncogenic change also play a pivot role in the Warburg effect. Glycolysis related gene PKM2 expressed differently individually. Presently, we sought to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at rs61991156 of miR-379 on gastric cancer (GC) proliferation and metabolism.    Methods  The genotype of rs61991156 in miR-379 was investigated by using real-time PCR. The glycolysis-related metabolites were determined by using GC–TOF–MS. The biological effects of rs61991156 in miR-379 was explored by in vitro studies.    Results  In this study, we found that rs61991156 in miR-379 was involved in the occurrence of GC by acting on the 3′UTR region of PKM2. The clinical data analysis revealed that A > G in rs187960998 was significantly associated with better differentiation, small tumor size, and non-metastasis. In vitro study further revealed that A > G SNP of miR-379 could decrease GC cell proliferation as well as the promoter activity and expression of PKM2. The glycolysis of the patients with miR-379 GG genotype was significantly lower than AG and AA genotype by metabolomics analysis. The patients with AA genotype have significantly lower PKM2 expression compared to the G carrier, while there is no significant expression difference in miR-379 expression. Patients with AA genotype have significantly shorter survival rate compared to the G carrier.    Conclusion  rs61991156 in miR-379 was highly associated with a decreased risk, well differentiation and better post-surgery survival in Chinese population by inhibiting the expression of PKM2.

rs61991156 in miR-379 is associated with low capability of glycolysis of gastric cancer by enhanced regulation of PKM2
