Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAM224A on the proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells by regulating the expression of miRNA-590-3p (miR-590-3p).Methods:Human ovarian cancer cell lines OC3, SKOV-3, HO-8910, A2780 and human normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were selected, and the relative expression of FAM224A in each cell line was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The cell line with the lowest relative expression level of FAM224A was screened for follow-up experiment. The cells were divided into FAM224A group (transfected with FAM224A mimic gene) and control group (transfected with control mimic gene). CCK-8 method and cell scratch test were used to detect the cell proliferation and migration ability of the two groups. The bioinformatics website LncBase v.2 predicted that the target gene that FAM224A might complementarily bind to was miR-590-3p. qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-590-3p and forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2) mRNA, and the expressions of related proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:The relative expression levels of FAM224A in ovarian cancer cell lines OC3, SKOV-3, HO-8910, A2780 and normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were 0.23±0.04, 0.65±0.05, 0.45±0.03, 0.63±0.08 and 1.02±0.11, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 14.78, P < 0.01), and the cell line with the lowest relative expression level of FAM224A was OC3. The results of CCK-8 method showed that the proliferation ability of OC3 cells in the FAM224A group was lower than that in the control group on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th day of culture (all P < 0.05). The scratch healing rates of OC3 cells in the FAM224A group and the control group were (18.6±2.3)% and (71.7±7.2)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.99, P < 0.01). The relative expression levels of FAM224A in OC3 cells in the FAM224A group and the control group was 12.36±1.45 and 1.14±0.24, respectively ( t = 13.08, P < 0.01); the relative expression levels of miR-590-3p were 0.19±0.06 and 1.04±0.20, respectively ( t = 4.01, P < 0.01); the relative expression levels of FOXA2 mRNA were 6.37±1.37 and 1.05±0.08, respectively ( t = 3.86, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of FOXA2 protein in OC3 cells in the FAM224A group was increased, the expressions of cell proliferation protein cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin D3 were decreased, and the expression of cell migration protein Snail was decreased. Conclusions:FAM224A is low expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines. FAM224A reduces the proliferation and migration ability of ovarian cancer OC3 cells by inhibiting the expression of miR-590-3p.
