Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in gastric cancer (GC) development. miR-93-5p has shown opposing functions in different types of cancers, but the exact expression pattern and molecular mechanism of miR-93-5p in GC development remain to be elucidated. Here, we reported that miR-93-5p expression was increased in GC tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues and that its overexpression was correlated with distant metastasis and poor survival in GC patients. miR-93-5p knockdown inhibited the migration, invasion and proliferation of GC cells in vitro and in vivo, while its overexpression displayed an opposite result. Using an mRNA microarray, we found that miR-93-5p significantly downregulated IFNAR1 expression in GC cells, which was further identified as a direct target of miR-93-5p. IFNAR1 knockdown promoted GC cell migration and invasion, but its restoration could rescue GC cell migration and invasion induced by miR-93-5p overexpression. Moreover, miR-93-5p-IFNAR1 axis increased MMP9 expression via STAT3 pathway in GC cells. Taken together, we reveal that miR-93-5p overexpression is associated with the poor survival of GC patients and miR-93-5p-IFNAR1 axis promotes GC metastasis through activation of STAT3 pathway.
