The Expression of MicroRNA-598 Inhibits Ovarian Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis by Targeting URI.


ABSTRACT: Unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI, or RMP, a member of the prefoldin family of molecular chaperones) exhibits oncogenic activity in several types of cancer, including ovarian cancer. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism in ovarian cancer remains unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively regulate gene expression, and their dysregulation has been implicated in tumorigenesis. To elucidate the role of miRNAs in URI-induced ovarian cancer, miR-598 and URI were overexpressed in the SKOV3 ovarian cancer cell line. The CCK8 kit was used to determine cell proliferation, and the Transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion and migration. RT-PCR and western blotting were used to analyze the expression of miR-598 and URI, and the luciferase reporter assay was used to examine the interaction between miR-598 and URI. Nude mice were used to characterize the regulation of tumor growth in vivo. The results showed that the expression of miR-598 inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of ovarian cancer cells by targeting URI. The inhibitory effect of miR-598 was reversed by overexpression of URI. The luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-598 downregulated URI by directly targeting the 3' UTR of URI. In vivo studies showed that the expression of miR-598 significantly inhibited the growth of tumors. Taken together, the results suggested that miR-598 inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by targeting URI.
