Abstract

Abstract Gastric cancer is the third most commonly cause of tumor-related death worldwide and one of the most prevalent malignancies in China. TCL1A, TCL1 family Akt coactivator A, can active Akt/mTOR pathway and regulate the autophagy. However, the action of TCL1A in gastric cancer is not well understood. The present study is investigating the mechanism of action of TCL1A in gastric cancer. TCL1A was lowly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that miR-181a-5p can regulate c-MYC through the TCL1A-Akt/mTOR pathway and c-MYC can in turn affect the expression of miR-181a-5p, thus confirming the existence of the miR-181a-5p-TCL1A-Akt/mTOR-c-MYC loop. Flow cytometric apoptosis assay and mRFP-eGFP-LC3 autophagy assay demonstrated that both miR-181a-5p and TCL1A can affect autophagy and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells through the loop. In vivo experiments confirmed that TCL1A can affect the proliferation of gastric cancer. These results illustrate that TCL1A can exert tumour suppressive effects and affect gastric cancer autophagy and progression via the miR-181a-5p-TCL1A-Akt/mTOR-c-MYC loop, which could be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
