BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in the occurrence and progression of various tumors, including ovarian cancer (OC). The lncRNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) has been shown to be an important modulator in the growth and metastasis of OC cells. Our previous studies confirmed that GAS5 was down-regulated in OC; however, the potential underlying molecular mechanism underlying has not yet been elucidated. METHODS: We screened the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database for the expression of the lncRNA GAS5 in OC...

High collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) levels are associated with tumor progression, chemoresistance, and poor patient survival in several cancer types. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are dysregulated in multiple cancers, including epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC); however, the regulation of COL11A1 by miRNAs in EOC remains unclear. We examined the role of miRNAs in regulating COL11A1 expression. We identified miR-509 and miR-335 as the candidate miRNAs through an online database search. EOC cell treatment with miR-335 mimics abrogated COL11A1 expression and suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, besides increasing the sensitivity of EOC cells to cisplatin...

Ovarian cancer is a major gynaecological malignant tumor associated with a high mortality rate. Identifying survival-related variants may improve treatment and survival in patients with ovarian cancer. In this work, we proposed a support vector regression (SVR)-based method called OV-SURV, which is incorporated with an inheritable bi-objective combinatorial genetic algorithm for feature selection to identify a miRNA signature associated with survival in patients with ovarian cancer. There were 209 patients with miRNA expression profiles and survival information of ovarian cancer retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database...

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy with the highest mortality rate. Cisplatin (DDP) based chemotherapy is a standard strategy for ovarian cancer. Despite good response rates for initial chemotherapy, almost 80% of the patients treated with DDP based chemotherapy will experience recurrence due to drug-resistant, which will ultimately result in fatality. The aim of the present study was to examine the pathogenesis and potential molecular markers of cisplatin-resistant OC by studying the differential expression of mRNAs and miRNAs between cisplatin resistant OC cell lines and normal cell lines...
