In this study, we investigated the role of microRNA-363(miR-363) in ovarian cancer (OC) progression. MiR-363expression was downregulated in OC patient tissues and four OC cell lines (SKOV3, A2780, OVCAR and HO-8910). Low miR-363 levels were associated with advanced stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis in OC. MiR-363 overexpression decreased growth, colony formation, migration and invasiveness of SKOV3 cells. In addition, miR-363 overexpression in SKOV3 cells also decreased xenograft tumor size and weight in nude mice. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR-363 suppresses expression of NIN1/RPN12 binding protein 1 homolog (NOB1) by binding to the 3'-UTR of its transcript. NOB1 expression inversely correlated with miR-363 levels in OC tissues. Thus miR-363 appears to play a tumor suppressor role in OC by inhibiting NOB1.
在本研究中,我们调查了微小RNA-363(miR-363)在卵巢癌(OC)进展中的作用。miR-363在OC患者组织和四种OC细胞系(SKOV3、A2780、OVCAR和HO-8910)中表达下调。低miR-363水平与OC的晚期阶段、淋巴结转移及不良预后相关。miR-363过表达降低了SKOV3细胞的生长、集落形成、迁移和侵袭能力。此外,SKOV3细胞中miR-363过表达还减小了裸鼠体内异种移植瘤的大小和重量。生物信息学和双荧光素酶报告基因检测显示,miR-363通过与其转录本的3'-UTR结合来抑制NIN1/RPN12结合蛋白1同源物(NOB1)的表达。在OC组织中,NOB1表达与miR-363水平呈负相关。因此,miR-363似乎通过抑制NOB1在OC中发挥肿瘤抑制作用。
