The present study aimed to measure the expression of microRNA (miRNA/miR) -429 in gastric cancer and investigate the associated mechanism of action. A total of 30 patients with gastric cancer who received radical or palliative resection at Jining No. 1 People's Hospital between January-October 2016 were included in the present study. Resected gastric cancer and tumor-adjacent tissues were resected. Gastric cancer BGC-823 cells were transfected with miR-429 mimics to induce the overexpression of miR-429, or transfected with small interfering (si)RNA of heparanase (HPSE) for the silencing of HPSE. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the expression of miR-429 or HPSE mRNA. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein expression of HPSE. Cell-Counting Kit-8 assay was carried out to test cell proliferation and a Transwell assay was used to determine cell invasion ability. Expression of HPSE mRNA and protein in gastric cancer tissues was increased compared with tumor-adjacent tissues. Reduced expression of miR-429 in gastric cancer tissues may be associated with the targeting of HPSE mRNA by miR-429. Overexpression of miR-429 inhibited the transcription and translation of the HPSE gene. However, overexpression of miR-429 did not affect the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Notably, overexpression of miR-429 reduced the invasion ability of gastric cancer cells. Transfection with HPSE siRNA decreased the expression of the HPSE protein in BGC-823 cells and inhibited the occurrence and development of gastric cancer by reducing the invasion ability of the cells. The present study demonstrated that expression of miR-429 in gastric cancer tissues was significantly reduced compared with tumor-adjacent tissues. As a tumor-suppressor gene, miR-429 decreases the invasion ability of gastric cancer cells by downregulating the expression of HSPE.
