Upregulation of miR-614 promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in ovarian cancer by suppressing PPP2R2A expression.

ABSTRACT: It has previously been demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) have essential roles and participate in various biological processes by regulating their specific target genes. However, the precise role of miRNAs in ovarian cancer (OC) has not yet been elucidated. The present study demonstrated that miR?614 expression levels were significantly upregulated in OC tissues and cell lines, whereas decreased miR?614 demonstrated opposite effects. Furthermore, gain?of?function and loss?of?function experiments indicated that miR?614 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis. Protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B ?, (PPP2R2A) was identified as a direct target of miR?614 using western blotting and luciferase reporter assays. Notably, silencing of PPP2R2A counter?acted the effect of miR?614 inhibitor in OC cell proliferation and cell apoptosis. Overall, the data suggested that miR?614 promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis of OC cells by targeting PPP2R2A, and may therefore act as a potential target for OC therapy in the future.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to investigate the effect of circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase on cell proliferation and apoptosis and to explore its target micro-RNAs in prostate cancer cells. METHODS:Circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase expression in human prostate cancer cells and normal prostate epithelial cells was determined by real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids (circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase(+) group and control overexpression plasmids group were transfected with PC-3 cells. Rescue experiment was performed by transfection of circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression and micro-197 overexpression plasmids (circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids/micro RNA (+) group) into PC-3 cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 and annexin V/propidium iodide assays were conducted to evaluate cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Western blot was performed to determine the expressions of apoptotic-related markers. RESULTS:Circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase expression was decreased in DU 145, 22RV1, VCaP, and PC-3 cells compared to RWPE cells. In PC-3 cells, cell proliferation rate was reduced in circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids group compared to control overexpression plasmids group at 48 hours and 72 hours. Cell apoptosis rate was elevated in circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids group compared to control overexpression plasmids group at 48 hours, and Western blot showed the similar results. Micro RNA-197 but not micro RNA-31 or micro RNA-432 was the target micro-RNA of circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase. In rescue experiments, cell proliferation rate was elevated, but apoptosis rate was reduced in circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids/micro RNA (+) group compared to circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase overexpression plasmids group, indicating that circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase upregulation inhibited cell proliferation but promoted apoptosis through downregulating micro RNA-197. CONCLUSION:Circular RNA itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase upregulation suppresses cell proliferation but promotes apoptosis through targeting micro RNA-197 in prostate cancer. Our study may provide a new insight for the treatment of prostate cancer.
