High expression of TCF12 contributes to gastric cancer development via being target regulated by miR-183 and activating PI3K/AKT pathway.
This study aimed to explore the role of transcription factor 12 (TCF12) in the process of gastric cancer (GC) and to elucidate its possible regulatory mechanism. The expression data of GC tissues and matched normal tissues were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Survival analysis for GC patients with different levels of TCF12 was performed by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. ⋯ Our findings reveal that TCF12 is upregulated in GC and its upregulation is associated with poor prognosis of GC patients. To sum up, downregulation of TCF12 may inhibit GC development via being target regulated by miR-183 and inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signal. TCF12 may function as a potential therapeutic target for GC.
