Furthermore, an increased apoptotic rate was detected following overexpression of miR‑204‑5p, along with increased expression levels of Bax and decreased expression levels of Bcl‑2. HER‑2 was a direct target of miR‑204‑5p, and inhibition of HER‑2 acted as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoting cell apoptosis, which was reversed by the inhibition of miR‑204‑5p expression. These results suggested that miR‑204‑5p could exert its anti‑tumor function by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoting cell apoptosis via regulation of HER‑2, which may be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs) has been reported in various types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role and underlying molecular mechanism of miR‑130a‑3p in cervical cancer (CC). The expression of miR‑130a‑3p in CC tissues and cell lines (CaSki and SiHa) was measured via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. SiHa and CaSki cells were transfected with miR‑130a‑3p mimics and a miR‑130a‑3p inhibitor, respectively. The proliferation, apoptosis and migration and invasion abilities of CC cells were then measured using MTT, flow cytometry, wound‑healing and Transwell assays, respectively. TargetScan and dual‑luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to analyze the association between miR‑130a‑3p and its predicted target gene Runt‑related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3). In addition, a xenograft tumor model was established in mice to evaluate the impact of miR‑130a‑3p on tumor growth in vivo. The expression of miR‑130a‑3p was markedly upregulated in CC tissues and cell lines compared with normal tissues and cells. Transfection with miR‑130a‑3p mimics significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and invasio
