To identify potential microRNA (miRNA) links between Smad3, a mediator of TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) signaling, and E-cadherin, we characterized the miRNA profiles of two gastric cancer cell lines: SNU484-LPCX, which does not express Smad3, and SNU484-Smad3, in which Smad3 is overexpressed.We found that among differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-200 family members are overexpressed in SNU484-Smad3 cells.Subsequent studies, including analysis of the effects of silencing Smad3 in SNU484-Smad3 cells and a luciferase reporter assay, revealed that Smad3 directly binds to a Smad-binding element located in the promoter region of miR-200b/a, where it functions as a transcriptional activator.
