Like many tumor suppressor genes, some miRNA genes harboring CpG islands undergo methylation-mediated silencing. In the study, we found significant downregulation and proximal promoter methylation of miR-203a and miR-203b in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) tissues. The methylation status of miR-203a and miR-203b in tumor tissues was negatively correlated with their expression level. GCA patients in stage III and IV with reduced expression or hypermethylation of miR-203a demonstrated poor patient survival. In all, miR-203a and miR-203b may function as tumor suppressive miRNAs, and reactivation of miR-203a may have therapeutic potential and may be used as prognostic marker for GCA patients.
