Proliferation, invasion and metastasis are key features of gastric cancer, contributing to high mortality rates in patients with gastric cancer worldwide. As a direct target of p53, the functions of microRNA (miR)-34a are important, but controversial, in the progression of gastric cancer. In the present study, the clinical importance of miR-34a in GC specimens (n=40) were investigated and were confirmed in an independent cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; n=352). The prognostic value of miR-34a was analyzed using a Kaplan-Meier survival curve in the TCGA cohort, in combination with complete follow-up data (n=157). The level of miR-34a was detected in the human gastric cancer cell line and normal gastric epithelial cell line. The effect of miR-34a on proliferation and invasion were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit 8, colony formation and cell invasion assays. The molecular basis of miR-34a was determined by bioinformatics prediction. The correlation between miR-34a and MET was assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses. The results indicated that miR-34a was downregulated in the gastric cancer tissues, compared with the normal gastric tissues (P
