Conclusion: Our findings identified six microRNAs (miRNAs; miR-96-5p, miR-222-5p, miR-652-5p, miR-125-5p, miR-145-3p, and miR-379-3p) related to GAC prognosis, and suggested that down-regulated miR-96-5p might inhibit tumor cell growth and metastasis via increasing ZDHHC5 expression enhance MGC-803 cell apoptosis, as well as decrease MGC-803 cell metastasis. This evidence concerns the gene ZDHHC5 and neoplasm.
