Calcium-dependent FAK/CREB/TNNC1 signalling mediates the effect of stromal MFAP5 on ovarian cancer metastatic potential.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecologic malignancy in the United States, and advanced serous ovarian adenocarcinoma is responsible for most ovarian cancer deaths. However, the stroma-derived molecular determinants that modulate patient survival are yet to be characterized. Here we identify a stromal gene signature for advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer using microdissected stromal ovarian tumour samples and find that stromal microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) is a prognostic marker for poor survival. Further functional studies reveal that FAK/CREB/TNNC1 signalling pathways mediate the effect of MFAP5 on ovarian cancer cell motility and invasion potential. Targeting stromal MFAP5 using MFAP5-specific siRNA encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles significantly decreases ovarian tumour growth and metastasis in vivo, suggesting that it may be a new modality of ovarian cancer treatment.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer has one of the highest mortality rates among all gynaecological malignancies, and increasing evidence suggests that lncRNAs are widely involved in the development of ovarian tumours. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of the LNC00115/miR-7/ERK axis in the cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer cells.MethodsThe expression of miR-7 and LNC00115 in ovarian cancer cell lines and tissues was detected by qRT-PCR. The ovarian cancer cell lines were constructed by overexpressing or knocking down the expression of LNC00115 or miR-7. CCK-8, transwell invasion, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and luciferase reporter assays were carried out to identify the targets of LNC00115 and explore its roles and mechanisms in ovarian cancer. A nude mouse model was established, and the expression of LNC00115, miR-7 and ERK was detected. The changes in the tumours and body weights of the nude mice were measured.ResultsLNC00115 was upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, LNC00115 promoted the cisplatin resistance, invasion and migration of ovarian cancer cells. LNC00115 was shown to directly target miR-7, and miR-7 was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells. miR-7 inhibited the cisplatin resistance, invasion and migration of ovarian cancer cells and directly targeted ERK. ERK was overexpressed in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and ovarian cancer tissues. In animal experiments, overexpression of LNC00115 enhanced the cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer cells, while miR-7 had the opposite effect. Mechanistically, LNC00115 sponged miR-7 to increase the expression of ERK, which in turn enhanced the cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer.ConclusionOur data clarify the mechanism by which the LNC00115/miR-7/ERK axis promotes cisplatin resistance and provide a new clinical strategy for combating cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.
