It has become increasingly important to identify valuable therapeutic targets to improve the prognosis of cancer patients. Although emerging evidence has suggested TYRO3 as a potential therapeutic target in various types of cancers, less is known about its role in gastric cancer (GC) development. Herein, we investigated the functional and molecular mechanisms by which TYRO3 influenced GC. TYRO3 mRNA and protein were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Other methods including stable transfection of TYRO3 into GC cells, wound healing, Transwell assays, CCK-8 assays, colony formation assays, immunocytochemistry in vitro, and tumorigenesis in vivo were also conducted. Our results indicated that high levels of TYRO3 significantly correlated with clinical metastasis and poor prognoses in patients with GC. In addition, TYRO3 silencing distinctively suppressed GC cell growth, invasion, and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo . Conversely, TYRO3 overexpression led to the opposite effects. Mechanistic analyses revealed that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway might be involved in TYRO3-facilitated GC cell behavior. Collectively, we demonstrated that elevated TYRO3 expression contributed to GC cell growth and metastasis via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, suggesting a novel therapeutic target for GC.
