Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC) is a unique pathological type of gastric carcinoma that is extremely invasive and has a poor prognosis after diagnosis. The expression of microRNAs has been closely linked to the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer and has been considered as a powerful prognostic marker. Distinctive expression of miRNAs in GSRCC was investigated in the present study. Samples of GSRCC were compared to that of intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma using Agilent microarray technique, and two differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, hsa-miR-665 and hsa-miR‑95. qRT-PCR verification showed downregulation of both miRNAs in signet ring cell carcinoma and upregulation in gastric adenocarcinoma, which was not consistent with the results obtained by the microarray. Target gene prediction using online databases conferred two strong candidate genes, GLI2 and PLCG1. GO/KO analysis of these two genes showed close correlations with carcinogenesis and chemoresistance. It was concluded that hsa-miR-665 and hsa-miR-95 were downregulated in GSRCC but upregulated in intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma, and the relatively differential expression of the miRNAs negatively controlling their target genes could be closely related to the high invasive metastasis and chemoresistance of GSRCC.
