LncRNA DNM1P35 sponges hsa-mir-326 to promote ovarian cancer progression

Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in cancer progression. We found lncRNA DNM1P35 is elevated in ovarian tumors compared to normal tissues, and demonstrated that lncRNA DNM1P35 promoted cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in SK-OV-3 and OVCAR-3 c...

Description
Summary:Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in cancer progression. We found lncRNA DNM1P35 is elevated in ovarian tumors compared to normal tissues, and demonstrated that lncRNA DNM1P35 promoted cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in SK-OV-3 and OVCAR-3 cell lines. Furthermore, lncRNA DNM1P35 also facilitated the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistic studies identified microRNA-326 (miR-326) as a target of lncRNA DNM1P35. Overexpression of miR-326 diminished the tumor-promoting activity of lncRNA DNM1P35, resulting in reduction of Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) expression and EMT features. We further revealed that ZEB1, a master transcription factor for EMT that is negatively regulated by miR-326, was essential for lncRNA DNM1P35-mediated cancer cell progression and EMT. Loss of ZEB1 led to compromised pro-tumoral activity of lncRNA DNM1P35. In vivo studies using a xenograft mouse model of ovarian cancer revealed that tumors with higher levels of lncRNA DNM1P35 led to shorter survival, increased tumor burden, as well as elevated expression of proliferative marker Ki67 and EMT marker ZEB1. Our comprehensive study underscored the significance of lncRNA DNM1P35 in ovarian cancer progression, elucidating the underlying mechanism through miR-326/ZEB1 axis to promote ovarian cancer progression.
