摘要
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that interact with the 3 untranslated region (3 UTR) of target genes to repress their expression. We have previously reported that miR-590-3p promoted ovarian cancer growth and metastasis, in part by targeting Forkhead box A (FOXA2). In this study, we further investigated the mechanisms by which miR-590-3p promotes ovarian cancer development. Using luciferase reporter assays, real-time PCR, and Western blot analyses, we demonstrated that miR-590-3p targets cyclin G2 (CCNG2) and Forkhead box class O3 (FOXO3) at their 3 UTRs. Silencing of CCNG2 or FOXO3 mimicked, while the overexpression of CCNG2 or FOXO3 reversed, the stimulatory effect of miR-590-3p on cell proliferation and invasion. In hanging drop cultures, the overexpression of mir-590 or the transient transfection of miR-590-3p mimics induced the formation of compact spheroids. Transfection of the CCNG2 or FOXO3 plasmid into the mir-590 cells resulted in the partial disruption of the compact spheroid formation. Since we have shown that CCNG2 suppressed -catenin signaling, we investigated if miR-590-3p regulated -catenin activity. In the TOPFlash luciferase reporter assays, mir-590 increased -catenin/TCF transcriptional activity and the nuclear accumulation of -catenin. Silencing of -catenin attenuated the effect of mir-590 on the compact spheroid formation. Taken together, these results suggest that miR-590-3p promotes ovarian cancer development, in part by directly targeting CCNG2 and FOXO3.
