miR-145 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by targeting metadherin in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), the most common and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, is characterized by TP53 mutations and genetic instability. Using miRNA profiling analysis, we found that miR-145, a p53 regulated miRNA, was frequently down-regulated in HGSOC. miR-145 down-regulation was further validated in a large cohort of HGSOCs by qPCR. Overexpression of miR-145 in ovarian cancer cells significantly suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Metadherin (MTDH) was subsequently identified as a direct target of miR-145, and was found to be significantly up-regulated in HGSOC. Furthermore, overexpression of MTDH rescued the inhibitory effects of miR-145 in ovarian cancer cells. Finally, we found that high level of MTDH expression correlated with poor prognosis of HGSOC. Therefore, lack of suppression of MTDH by miR-145 when p53 is dysfunctional leads to increased tumor growth and metastasis of HGSOC. Our study established a new link between p53, miR-145 and MTDH in the regulation of tumor growth and metastasis in HGSOC.

Background: Recently the use of “two tier" grading system in which ovarian serous carcinoma was classified as low-grade or high-grade in comparing to preceding system has improved authority in prognosis and survival. This approach is simplistic, reproducible, and based on biologic evidence. In this study, we reclassified ovarian serous carcinoma by a new two-tier system for grading and then eva...
متن کاملMiR-145 directly targets p70S6K1 in cancer cells to inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis
MiR-145 can regulate cell apoptosis, proliferation, neural development and stem cell differentiation. Previous studies indicate that miR-145 is downregulated in human colon cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of miR-145 used to regulate colon carcinogenesis and angiogenesis remain to be clarified. Here, we show that the expression of miR-145 is downregulated in colon and ovarian can...

Among the gynecological malignancies, ovarian cancer is the most fatal due to its high mortality rate. Most of the identified cases are epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with five distinct subtypes: high-grade serous carcinoma, low-grade serous carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, endometrioid carcinoma, and clear-cell carcinoma. Lack of an early diagnostic approach, high incidence of tumor relapse and...
متن کاملmiR-9 functions as a tumor suppressor in ovarian serous carcinoma by targeting TLN1.
microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression during tumorigenesis. The downregulation of microRNA-9 (miR-9) has been reported in ovarian serous carcinoma (OSC), indicating a role for miR-9 in this type of cancer. In this study, we investigated the biological significance of miR-9 in OSC in vitro. Using 3 OSC cell lines, SKOV3, CAOV3 and OVCAR3, which underexpresss miR-9, we de...

Distant metastases are rare during the course of ovarian carcinoma. Ovarian epithelial adenocarcinomas rarely metastasize to the skin which is seen in less than 4% of patients. It usually presents as subcutaneous nodules and, less commonly, as inflammatory metastases which mimic cellulitis or viral or bacterial skin infections. The histology in most of the tumours is grade 1 or 2 serous p...
