miR‐362‐5p is down‐regulated in high‐risk neuroblastoma and can function as a tumor suppressor. However, its role remains poorly understood. We show that miR‐362‐5p is down‐regulated in metastatic neuroblastoma compared with primary neuroblastoma. Overexpression of miR‐362‐5p inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion of neuroblastoma cells in vitro and suppresses tumor growth of neuroblastoma in vivo. Phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K)‐C2β is a target of miR‐362‐5p. Knockdown of PI3K‐C2β by siRNA had a similar effect to overexpression of miR‐362‐5p on SH‐SY5Y cells. Overexpression of PI3K‐C2β partially reversed tumor‐suppressive effects of miR‐362‐5p. We suggest that miR‐362‐5p suppresses neuroblastoma cell growth and motility, partially by targeting PI3K‐C2β.
