LINC01094/miR-577 axis regulates the progression of ovarian cancer

Abstract Background Long intergenic non-coding RNA 01094 (LINC01094) is probably a novel regulator in cancer biology. This study aimed to probe into the function and mechanism of LINC01094 in ovarian cancer (OC). Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was utilized t...

description Abstract Background Long intergenic non-coding RNA 01094 (LINC01094) is probably a novel regulator in cancer biology. This study aimed to probe into the function and mechanism of LINC01094 in ovarian cancer (OC). Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was utilized to measure LINC01094 and miR-577 expressions in OC tissues and cell lines. Western blot was used to examine the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins, β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays were used to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 and 3AO cells, respectively. Eventually, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to detect the regulatory relationship between miR-577 and LINC01094. Results LINC01094 expression was elevated in OC tissues and cell lines. High LINC01094 expression was associated with higher FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis and the shorter overall survival rate in patients with OC. Meanwhile, LINC01094 knockdown inhibited OC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT. In addition, miR-577 was demonstrated to be a direct downstream target of LINC01094 in OC and inhibition of miR-577 reversed the biological effects of LINC01094 knockdown on OC cells. Additionally, LINC01094 / miR-577 axis regulated the expressions of β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1 in OC cells. Conclusion LINC01094 promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT of OC cells by adsorbing miR-577.
