Background  MicroRNAs are endogenously expressed, small non-coding RNAs that modulate gene expression by targeting specific mRNAs, resulting in translational repression or mRNA degradation. Although miR-584-5p has been reported to play a vital role in various malignancies, its role and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of miR-584-5p in gastric cancer (GC) remain to be clarified. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-584-5p in GC.    Methods  The expression of miR-584-5p and its specific target gene were determined in human GC specimens and cell lines by microRNA real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The effects of miR-584-5p depletion or ectopic expression on GC proliferation were evaluated in vitro using CCK-8 proliferation assays, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, colony formation assays and cell-cycle assays and the in vivo effects were investigated using a mouse tumorigenicity model. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by in vitro flow cytometric analysis, cell viability assays and in vivo TUNEL assays. Luciferase reporter assays were employed to identify interactions between miR-584-5p and its specific target gene.    Results  A series of in vitro and in vivo gain- and loss-of-function assays revealed that miR-584-5p inhibited GC cell proliferation, while apoptosis was induced. Luciferase reporter assays and Western blot analysis revealed WWP1 to be a direct target of miR-584-5p. The effects of miR-584-5p-mimic were rescued by WWP1 overexpression. In contrast, the effects of the miR-584-5p-inhibitor were impaired by WWP1-shRNA. Furthermore, miR-584-5p expression levels correlated negatively with WWP1 protein expression in GC tissues and GC cell lines. A series of investigations indicated that miR-584-5p promoted senescence and activated the TGFβ signaling pathway by downregulation of WWP1.    Conclusion  Taken together, these results suggest that downregulation of miR-584-5p contributes to tumor progression by downregulation of WWP1, thus, highlighting the potential of miR-584-5p as a therapeutic target for human GC.
