Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)and its mechanism of influence on EOC cell proliferation,migration,and invasion.Methods:The expression level of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes from the malignant group,benign ovarian disease group,and healthy control group was detected using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Lipofectamine 3000 transfection was used to construct overexpression and knockdown cell lines,which were divided into four groups:miR-769-5p mimics group,mimics-NC group,miR-769-5p inhibitor group,and inhibi-tor-NC group.The effects of miR-769-5p on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion were assessed using CCK-8,wound healing,and Transwell assays.Transcriptome sequencing was conducted on EOC cells overex-pressing miR-769-5p,and potential target genes were predicted using public databases.The interaction between miR-769-5p and its target gene was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to further confirm the regulatory effect of miR-769-5p on the target gene.Results:The expression level of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes from the malignant group was significantly lower than that in the healthy control and benign ovarian disease groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the mimics-NC group,the miR-769-5p mimics group exhitied lower OD450 values,migration rates,and numbers of invading cells in both SKOV3 and OVCAR3 EOC cell lines(P＜0.05).Compared with the inhibitor-NC group,cells in the miR-769-5p inhibitor group exhibited increased OD450 values,migration rates,and invasion counts(P＜0.05).The dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that co-transfection of miR-769-5p mimics with pEZX-FR02-TFAM-WT significantly reduced the luciferase activity compared to the mimics-NC group(P＜0.01),whereas co-transfection of miR-769-5p mimics with pEZX-FR02-TFAM-MUT showed no significant difference in luciferase activity compared to the control(P＞0.05).These findings indicate that miR-769-5p can directly bind to the 3'-UTR region of TFAM.Furthermore,compared with the mimics-NC group,EOC cells transfected with miR-769-5p mimics showed significantly decreased TFAM mRNA and protein expression levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion:miR-769-5p is significantly downregulated in EOC serum exosomes and may serve as a promising biomarker for early tumor diagnosis.Moreover,miR-769-5p may inhibit the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by targeting TFAM.
