Gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) have been used as a therapeutic target. This study aims to estimate the role of miR-98-5p (termed miR-98) in the development of GCSCs. ⋯ This study revealed miR-98 inhibits gastric cancer cell stemness and chemoresistance by targeting BCAT1, suggesting that this miR-98/BCAT1 axis represents a potential therapeutic target in gastric cancer.
