Background
Many patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer experience recurrence and metastasis, two aspects that will often cause their demise. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key process involved in cancer progression. With increasing evidence linking Cisplatin and EMT, we wanted to identify a compound able to counter EMT progression when cancer cells are treated with Cisplatin.Methodology/Principal Findings
Cell death was evaluated by cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining in A2780 and A2780CP cells. Ovarian cancer cell lines were treated with Cisplatin (24 h, 10 µM) and different concentrations of Resveratrol to evaluate its effect on Cisplatin-induced EMT using Western Blot and RT-PCR analysis. Morphological studies and wound healing assay to evaluate cell motility were performed using 72 h Cisplatin treatment with A2780 and A2780CP cells. Densitometry was done on Western Blot and PCR results, and statistical significance was determined using One-Way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc test. Our results show that Cisplatin induced EMT-associated morphological changes in the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line and to a lesser extent in its Cisplatin-resistant counterpart A2780CP. Resveratrol caused cell death in A2780 and A2780CP cell lines in an apoptotic-independent manner. Resveratrol inhibited Cisplatin-induced Snail expression by reducing the Erk pathway activation, reverted morphological changes induced by Cisplatin and decreased cell migration.Conclusions
These results indicate that Resveratrol has interesting potential to prevent Cisplatin-induced EMT in ovarian cancer cells. By increasing cell death, it also represents an inviting approach as adjuvant therapy to be used with chemotherapy. Using Erk pathway inhibitors could also prove helpful in ovarian cancer treatment to reduce the risk of metastasis. 相似文献3.
Transmembrane protein 14A (TMEM14A) is a member of TMEMs. Alterations in TMEMs expression have been identified in several types of cancer, but the expression and function of TMEM14A in ovarian cancer is still unclear. Here, analysis on the expression data of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV) dataset demonstrated the overexpression of TMEM14A in ovarian cancer tissues compared with normal tissues, which was consistent with our real-time PCR analysis on ovarian cancer and normal tissues collected from 30 patients. In addition, TMEM14A knockdown in two ovarian cancer cell lines, A2780 and HO-8910, reduced cell proliferation, causes cell cycle arrest and suppressed cell invasion. Moreover, silencing of TMEM14A notably repressed G1/S cell cycle transition and cell invasion via down-regulating the expression of cell cycle related proteins (Cyclin D1, Cyclin E and PCNA) and metastasis-related proteins (MMP-2 and MMP-9), respectively. TMEM14A knockdown significantly reduced the phosphorylation status of Smad2 and Smad3, downstream effectors of TGF-β signalling. In summary, these results indicate that TMEM14A has a pro-tumorigenic effect in ovarian cancer cells, suggesting an important role of this protein in ovarian cancer oncogenesis and metastasis. 相似文献

Ovarian cancer is a lethal gynaecologic malignancy with poor diagnosis and prognosis. The long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation1 (PVT1) and argonaute 1 (AGO1) are associated with carcinogenesis and chemoresistance; however, the relationship between PVT1 and AGO1 and the downstream mechanisms in ovarian cancer remains poorly known. PVT1 and AGO1 expression was assessed through RT-qPCR and Western blotting in both human tissues and cell lines. The viability and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells were determined by CCK-8 assay and TUNEL assay in vitro and immunohistochemistry in vivo. Cell invasion and migration were investigated through transwell and wound-healing assays. The roles and mechanisms of AGO1 on cell functions were further probed via gain- and loss-of-function analysis. We reveal that PVT1 expression was significantly increased in ovarian cancer tissues which is associated with advanced FIGO stage, lymph-node metastasis, poor survival rate, and high expression of AGO1. PVT1 or AGO1 knockdown significantly reduced the cell viability and increased the cell apoptosis and inhibited ovarian tumour growth and proliferation. Furthermore, we discovered that PVT1 up-regulated the expression of AGO1 and thus regulated the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway to promote ovarian cancer progression through sponging miR-148a-3p. Additionally, the activation of ERK1/2, smad2 and smad4 is observed to be related to the PVT1/miR-148a-3p/AGO1/TGF-β pathway-induced cascades. Taken together, the present study reveals that PVT1/miR-148a/AGO1 axis plays an important role in the progression of ovarian cancer and emphasize the potential as a target of value for ovarian cancer therapy. 相似文献

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading malignancies in women and the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer still remains poor. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the interaction between the miR-126-3p and PLXNB2 in the progression of ovarian cancer. The qRT-PCR data revealed a reduction of miR-126-3p level in ovarian cancer tissues comparing to the adjacent normal tissues. Over-expression of miR-126-3p in ovarian cancer cells suppressed cell proliferation and invasion and the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2. The cell cycle assay results showed that the over-expression of miR-126-3p induced cells in G1-phase and reduced cells in S-phase. We further performed bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assay to investigate the relationship between miR-126-3p and PLXNB2 in ovarian cancer cells. The results of TargetScan suggested that PLXNB2 is a direct target of miR-126-3p in ovarian cancer cells, and luciferase assay confirmed bioinformatics prediction. Knocking down of PLXNB2 with PLXNB2 siRNA results in repressed ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and decreased phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2, which is similar to the effect of over-expression of miR-126-3p in OC cells. The synergistic effect of combination of miR-126-3p over-expression and PLXNB2 down-regulation on the cell growth viability, cell colony, and cell invasion was also identified. All these findings indicated that miR-126-3p is involved in the progression of ovarian cancer via direct regulating PLXNB2. 相似文献

Objectives
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in cancer development and progression. The deregulated expression of LINC00978 has been reported in human cancers. However, the expression pattern and biological roles of LINC00978 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the potential roles and clinical value of LINC00978 in gastric cancer.Materials and methods
QRT‐PCR was performed to investigate the expression of LINC00978 in gastric cancer cell lines, tissues and serum samples. Cell counting, colony formation, transwell migration and matrigel invasion assays were performed to determine the effects of shRNA‐mediated knockdown of LINC00978 on gastric cancer cell functions. In vivo tumour growth assay was also conducted. Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, western blot and qRT‐PCR were used for potential mechanism study.Results
LINC00978 expression level was elevated in GC tumour tissues, serum samples and cell lines. The expression level of LINC00978 was significantly correlated with tumour size (P = 0.02), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.009) and TNM stage (P = 0.009). LINC00978 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of GC cells by suppressing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. LINC00978 knockdown also inhibited the migration and invasion of GC cells. In addition, LINC00978 knockdown inhibited the activation of TGF‐β/SMAD signalling pathway and the process of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC cells. Moreover, the in vivo tumorigenicity of LINC00978 knockdown GC cells in mice was significantly decreased.Conclusions
LINC00978 promotes gastric cancer progression and may serve as a potential biomarker for GC. 相似文献7.

Tripartite motif containing 59 (TRIM59) functions as an oncoprotein in various human cancers including ovarian cancer. In this study, we found that TRIM59 gene amplification was prevalent in ovarian cancer tissues, and its amplification was significantly correlated with poorer overall survival. Moreover, knockdown of TRIM59 in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, which had relatively high level of TRIM59, suppressed glucose uptake and lactate production. TRIM59 knockdown also decreased the expression of c-Myc and lactate dehydrogenase A, and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). TRIM59 overexpression in A2780 cells, which expressed low level of TRIM59, showed reverse effects. Notably, treatment with an ERK inhibitor (PD98059) completely abolished the oncogenic effects of TRIM59 overexpression. Interestingly, TRIM59 increased the ubiquitination of MAP kinase phosphatase 3 (MKP3), which may dephosphorylate and inactivate ERK. Ectopic expression of MKP3 inhibited the promoting effects of TRIM59 on glycolysis and the phosphorylation of ERK. TRIM59 protein expression was negatively correlated with MKP3 protein expression in ovarian cancer tissues. Finally, TRIM59 amplification potently affected the anticancer effect of 3-bromopyruvate, an inhibitor of glycolysis, in ovarian cancer cells and patient-derived xenograft. In conclusion, these results suggest that TRIM59 may regulate glycolysis in ovarian cancer via the MKP3/ERK pathway. 相似文献

Background: Breast cancer is the main lethal disease among females. The combination of lobaplatin and microwave hyperthermia plays a crucial role in several kinds of cancer in the clinic, but its possible mechanism in breast cancer has remained indistinct.Methods: Mouse models were used to detect breast cancer progression. Cell growth was explored with MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulphonyl)-2H-tetrazolium) and colony formation assays. Cell migration and invasion were investigated with a transwell assay. Cell apoptosis was probed with flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-associated proteins was examined with Western blots.Result: Combination treatment decreased breast cancer cell viability, colony formation, cell invasion and metastasis. In addition, the treatment-induced breast cancer cell apoptosis and autophagy, activated the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, suppressed the protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, and down-regulated IAP and Bcl-2 family protein expression.Conclusion: These results indicate that lobaplatin is an effective breast cancer anti-tumor agent. Microwave hyperthermia was a useful adjunctive treatment. Combination treatment was more efficient than any single therapy. The possible mechanism for this effect was mainly associated with activation of the JNK signaling pathway, inactivation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and down-regulation of the Bcl-2 and IAP families. 相似文献

BackgroundRecently, long intergenic non-coding RNA 01296 (LINC01296) has been demonstrated to regulate the initiation and progression of several cancers, but the functions of LINC01296 in ovarian cancer still remain unclear. The objective of our study was to determine the expression, biological roles, and clinical significance of LINC01296 in ovarian cancer.MethodsLINC01296 expression was measured in ovarian cancer tissues or cell lines. Next, the relationships between LINC01296 levels and the clinical factors of ovarian cancer, such as progression-free survival and overall survival were analyzed. Additionally, cell proliferation, migration and invasion capacities, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution were investigated after silencing of LINC01296. To confirm whether LINC01296 mediates EMT initiation in ovarian cancer cells, the effect of LINC01296 silence on E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin was assessed in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells.ResultsWe found that LINC01296 was over-expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines, when comparing with adjacent normal tissue samples and normal cells. Higher LINC01296 expression was significantly correlated with shorter progression-free survival and overall survival. For the functional experiments, knockdown of LINC01296 suppressed cell proliferation, inhibited colony formation ability, abrogated cell migration and invasion potential, and enhanced cell apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis suggested that LINC01296 positively regulated cell cycle progression in ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, western blotting analysis displayed that knockdown of LINC01296 significantly increased E-cadherin, but reduced N-cadherin and vimentin expressions in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, compared with no-transfection cells.ConclusionsLINC01296 plays an important role in promoting the progression of ovarian cancer. Over-expression of LINC01296 might function as an indicator for diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. 相似文献

It has been shown that IL-8 is elevated in ovarian cyst fluid, ascites, serum, and tumor tissue from ovarian cancer (OVCA) patients, and increased IL-8 expression correlates with poor prognosis and survival. However, the exact role that IL-8 plays in this malignancy or whether IL-8 can regulate malignant behavior has not been established. Here we demonstrate that overexpression of IL-8 in non-IL-8-expressing A2780 cells (by transfecting with plasmid encoding for sense IL-8) increases anchorage-independent growth, proliferation, angiogenic potential, adhesion and invasion while depletion of endogenous IL-8 expression in IL-8-overexpressing SKOV-3 cells (by transfecting with plasmid encoding for antisense IL-8) decreases the above effects. Further investigation indicates that IL-8-stimulated cell proliferation correlates with alteration of cell cycle distribution by increasing levels of cell cycle-regulated Cyclin D1 and Cyclin B1 proteins as well as activation of PI3K/Akt and Raf/MEK/ERK, whereas IL-8-enhanced OVCA cell invasive correlates with increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity and expression. Our data suggest that IL-8 secreted by OVCA cells promotes malignant behavior of these cells via inducing intracellular molecular signaling. Therefore, modulation of IL-8 expression or its related signaling pathway may be a promising strategy for controlling the progression and metastasis of OVCA. 相似文献

Metformin, the most widely used drug for type 2 diabetes activates 59 adenosine monophosphate (AMP)‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates cellular energy metabolism. Here, we report that ovarian cell lines VOSE, A2780, CP70, C200, OV202, OVCAR3, SKOV3ip, PE01 and PE04 predominantly express ‐α1, ‐β1, ‐γ1 and ‐γ2 isoforms of AMPK subunits. Our studies show that metformin treatment (1) significantly inhibited proliferation of diverse chemo‐responsive and ‐resistant ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780, CP70, C200, OV202, OVCAR3, SKVO3ip, PE01 and PE04), (2) caused cell cycle arrest accompanied by decreased cyclin D1 and increased p21 protein expression, (3) activated AMPK in various ovarian cancer cell lines as evident from increased phosphorylation of AMPKα and its downstream substrate; acetyl co‐carboxylase (ACC) and enhanced β‐oxidation of fatty acid and (4) attenuated mTOR‐S6RP phosphorylation, inhibited protein translational and lipid biosynthetic pathways, thus implicating metformin as a growth inhibitor of ovarian cancer cells. We also show that metformin‐mediated effect on AMPK is dependent on liver kinase B1 (LKB1) as it failed to activate AMPK‐ACC pathway and cell cycle arrest in LKB1 null mouse embryo fibroblasts (mefs). This observation was further supported by using siRNA approach to down‐regulate LKB1 in ovarian cancer cells. In contrast, met formin inhibited cell proliferation in both wild‐type and AMPKα1/2 null mefs as well as in AMPK silenced ovarian cancer cells. Collectively, these results provide evidence on the role of metformin as an anti‐proliferative therapeutic that can act through both AMPK‐dependent as well as AMPK‐independent pathways. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the in vitro antitumor functions of a synthetic chalcone derivative 4,3′,4′,5′- tetramethoxychalcone (TMOC) in ovarian cancer cells. We found that TMOC inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of cisplatin sensitive cell line A2780 and resistant cell line A2780/CDDP, as well as ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Treatment of A2780 cells with TMOC resulted in G0/G1 cell cycle arrest through the down-regulation of cyclin D1 and CDK4, and the up-regulation of p16, p21 and p27 proteins. We demonstrated that TMOC might induce cell apoptosis through suppressing Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, but enhancing the expression of Bax and the cleavage of PARP-1. Treatment of TMOC also reduced the invasion and migration of A2780 cells. Finally, we found that TMOC inhibited the constitutive activation of STAT3 signaling pathway and induced the expression of the tumor suppressor PTEN regardless of the p53 status in cell lines. These data suggest that TMOC may be developed as a potential chemotherapeutic agent to effectively treat certain cancers including ovarian cancer. 相似文献

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancy with poor prognosis. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as key regulators in cancer development. The current study investigated the role of lncRNA P73 antisense RNA 1T (TP73‐AS1) in ovarian cancer. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction determined the expression levels of TP‐73AS1, matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) messenger RNA. Cell proliferative ability, cell invasion, and migration were CCK‐8 and colony formation, and transwell invasion and migration assays, respectively. The protein levels of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 were measured by Western blot. TP73‐AS1 was upregulated in the ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cells, and upregulation of TP73‐AS1 was associated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of TP73‐AS1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of SKOV3 cells, and overexpression of TP73‐AS1 promoted cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of OVCA429 cells. In addition, knockdown of TP73‐AS1 suppressed the in vivo tumor growth. Tumor metastasis RT2 profiler polymerase chain reaction array showed that MMP2 and MMP9 was significantly upregulated by TP73‐AS1 overexpression in ovarian cancer cells. TP73‐AS1 overexpression enhanced the expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in ovarian cancer cells. Knockdown of MMP2 and MMP9 attenuated the effects of TP73‐AS1 overexpression on cell invasion and migration. The clinical data showed that MMP2 and MMP9 were upregulated and positively correlated with TP73‐AS1 expression in ovarian cancer tissues. Collectively, our results demonstrated the oncogenic role of TP73‐AS1 in ovarian cancer, and targeting TP73‐AS1 may represent a novel approach in battling against ovarian cancer. 相似文献

Phytochemicals constitute a heterogeneous group of substances with an evident role in human health. Their properties on cancer initiation, promotion and progression are well documented. Particular attention is now devoted to better understand the molecular basis of their anticancer action. In the present work, we studied the effect of resveratrol on the ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-3 by a proteomic approach. Our findings demonstrate that resveratrol down-regulates the protein cyclin D1 and, in a concentration dependent manner, the phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (Akt) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). The dephosphorylation of these kinases could be responsible for the decreased cyclin D1 levels observed after treatment. We also showed that resveratrol reduces phosphorylation levels of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. Chemical inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and ERK both increased the in vitro therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol. Moreover, resveratrol had an inhibitory effect on the AKT phosphorylation in cultured cells derived from the ascites of ovarian cancer patients and in a panel of human cancer cell lines. Thus, resveratrol shows antitumor activity in human ovarian cancer cell lines targeting signalling pathway involved in cell proliferation and drug-resistance. 相似文献

LBX2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA that facilitates the development of gastrointestinal cancers and lung cancer, but its participation in ovarian cancer development remained uninvestigated. Clinical data retrieved from TCGA ovarian cancer database and the clinography of 60 ovarian cancer patients who received anti-cancer treatment in our facility were analysed. The overall cell growth, colony formation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and tumour formation on nude mice of ovarian cancer cells were evaluated before and after lentiviral-based LBX2-AS1 knockdown. ENCORI platform was used to explore LBX2-AS1-interacting microRNAs and target genes of the candidate microRNAs. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pulldown assay were used to verify the putative miRNA-RNA interactions. Ovarian cancer tissue specimens showed significant higher LBX2-AS1 expression levels that non-cancerous counterparts. High expression level of LBX2-AS1 was significantly associated with reduced overall survival of patients. LBX2-AS1 knockdown significantly down-regulated the cell growth, colony formation, migration, invasion and tumour formation capacity of ovarian cancer cells and increased their apoptosis in vitro. LBX2-AS1 interacts with and thus inhibits the function of miR-455-5p and miR-491-5p, both of which restrained the expression of E2F2 gene in ovarian cancer cells via mRNA targeting. Transfection of miRNA inhibitors of these two miRNAs or forced expression of E2F2 counteracted the effect of LBX2-AS1 knockdown on ovarian cancer cells. LBX2-AS1 was a novel cancer-promoting lncRNA in ovarian cancer. This lncRNA increased the cell growth, survival, migration, invasion and tumour formation of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting miR-455-5p and miR-491-5p, thus liberating the expression of E2F2 cancer-promoting gene. 相似文献
