Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most common and lethal gynecological cancer worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and sponging microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as key regulators in the biological processes of OC. We sought to evaluate the effect of the RHPN1-AS1-miR-485-5p-DNA topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) axis in regulating OC progression. RHPN1-AS1, miR-485-5p, and TOP2A levels in OC tissues and cells were determined by RT-qPCR. The interaction of RHPN1-AS1/miR-485-5p/TOP2A was assessed using luciferase, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assays. RHPN1-AS1 silencing allowed us to explore its biological function by measuring cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis in OC cells. experiments were performed to verify the findings. We found that the RHPN1-AS1 and TOP2A levels were significantly enhanced, whereas the miR-485-5p levels were reduced in OC tissues and cells. RHPN1-AS1 silencing attenuated cell growth, facilitated apoptosis in OC cells, and inhibited tumor growth . Notably, RHPN1-AS1 negatively regulating miR-485-5p promoted the TOP2A expression in OC cells. In conclusion, RHPN1-AS1 sponging miR-485-5p accelerated the progression of OC by elevating TOP2A expression, which makes it a promising target for the treatment of OC patients.
卵巢癌(OC)是全球最常见和致命的妇科癌症。长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)和海绵 microRNA(miRNA)作为 OC 生物学过程的关键调节剂。我们试图评估 RHPN1-AS1-miR-485-5p-DNA 拓扑异构酶 II 阿尔法(TOP2A)轴在调节 OC 进展中的作用。通过 RT-qPCR 测定 OC 组织和细胞中的 RHPN1-AS1、miR-485-5p 和 TOP2A 水平。使用荧光素酶、RNA 免疫沉淀和 RNA 下拉测定评估 RHPN1-AS1/miR-485-5p/TOP2A 的相互作用。通过测量 OC 细胞中的细胞活力、增殖、迁移、侵袭和凋亡,沉默 RHPN1-AS1 来探索其生物学功能。进行了 实验来验证这些发现。我们发现,在 OC 组织和细胞中,RHPN1-AS1 和 TOP2A 水平显著升高,而 miR-485-5p 水平降低。RHPN1-AS1 沉默减弱了 OC 细胞的生长,促进了 OC 细胞的凋亡,并抑制了肿瘤的生长。值得注意的是,RHPN1-AS1 负调控 miR-485-5p 促进了 OC 细胞中 TOP2A 的表达。总之,RHPN1-AS1 海绵 miR-485-5p 通过提高 TOP2A 的表达加速了 OC 的进展,这使其成为治疗 OC 患者的有前途的靶点。
