Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

B-cell specific moloney leukemia virus insertion site 1 (Bmi-1) gene plays important roles in gastric cancer, but the epigenetic regulatory mechanism by microRNA (miRNA) and the functional significance of Bmi-1 inhibition in gastric cancer remains elusive. In this study, we systematically investigated the functional roles of miRNA mediated Bmi-1 suppression in gastric cancer. Our results show that the expression of miR-15a is significantly reduced in gastric cancer and the protein expression levels of Bmi-1 are inversely correlated with miR-15a (P = 0.034) in gastric cancer patient samples. Functional studies revealed that ectopic expression of miR-15a decreased Bmi-1 in gastric cancer cell lines with reduced proliferation and tumor invasion. High levels of Bmi-1 in gastric cancer patients are significantly associated with better overall survival (P = 0.024) based on the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
