Abstract:
Purpose To explore the expression,mechanism and clinical significance of MCM5 in ovarian cancer.Methods The expression of MCM5 mRNA in ovarian cancer and its correlation with patients'survival were analyzed using GEO and TCGA databases.The expression of MCM5 protein in ovarian cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry of SP two-step method,and its relationship with clinicopathological characteris-tics was analyzed.With inhibition of MCM5 by siRNA in ovarian cancer cells.The effects of MCM5 on cell proliferation,migra-tion,invasion,and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 assay,EDU,plate cloning,Transwell chamber and flow cytometry.Re-sults Immunophenotype:MCM5 does not stain in the fallopian tube epithelium(0/6),with a positivity rate of 48.3％(57/118)in ovarian cancer.The expression of MCM5 in ovarian cancer is significantly higher than in fallopian tube epithelium,showing diffuse strong expression in high-grade serous carcino-ma.MCM5 expression is strongly correlated with ER-negative status and high Ki67 proliferation index.Knocking down MCM5 expression inhibits proliferation(P＜0.05),clonogenicity(P＜0.05),invasion and migration(P＜0.05)of ovarian cancer cells,and promotes apoptosis.Conclusion MCM5 is highly expressed in human ovarian cancer cells and tissues and is asso-ciated with poor prognosis.It is expected to become a new target for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
