چکیده

To better understand the molecular mechanisms of paclitaxel resistance in ovarian carcinoma, we evaluated the expression of miRNAs using miRNA microarray between human ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells and paclitaxel resistant SKOV3-TR30 cells. Results showed that 69 miRNAs were upregulated while 102 miRNAs were downregulated in SKOV3-TR30 cells. Using real-time PCR, we further clarified that miR-17~92 was overexpressed in SKOV3-TR30 cells compared with that in SKOV3 cells. We then established stable virally transduced SKOV3-TR30-m-PTIP-Sponge all SKOV3-TR30 cells and its vector-only control SKOV3-TR30-m-PTIP-GFP cells. Real time-PCR revealed that SKOV3-TR30-m-PTIP-Sponge all cells expressed approximately 6.18-fold lower levels of miR-17~92 compared with the control group. Decreased expression of miR-17~92 resulted in cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and growth inhibition. After the transduction, the BIM protein level was increased in SKOV3-TR30 cells and luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR-17~92 binds directly to the 3'-UTR of BIM. Results of luciferase reporter assays accompanied with Western Blot showed that although miR-17~92 binds directly to the 3'-UTR of PTEN, the PTEN protein expression level was upregulated slightly while the result is of no statistical significance. Our results showed that miR-17~92 could be a causal factor of the downregulation of BIM in SKOV3-TR30 cells and thus induce the paclitaxel resistance in SKOV3-TR30 cells.

Overexpression of glycogen synthase kinase-3 in ovarian carcinoma cells with acquired paclitaxel resistance.

INTRODUCTION Acquired resistance to paclitaxel, including regimens, is one of the most significant reasons for treatment failure and death in patients with ovarian cancer, but the causes of this resistance remain unclear. However, cell cycle regulation is a key mechanism by which most chemotherapeutic agents exert their cytotoxic effects. METHODS We created a paclitaxel-resistant ovarian carc...

NF-κB1, c-Rel, and ELK1 inhibit miR-134 expression leading to TAB1 upregulation in paclitaxel-resistant human ovarian cancer

The mechanism by which the transcription factors inhibit the miRNA expression in ovarian cancer chemoresistance is unclear. The present study investigated the mechanism underlying the transcriptional repression of miR-134 in chemoresistant serous epithelial ovarian cancer. The results demonstrate that NF-κB1, c-Rel, and ELK1 are involved as transcription factors in repressing miR-134 expression...

microRNA-488 inhibits chemoresistance of ovarian cancer cells by targeting Six1 and mitochondrial function

Dysregulation of miR-488 has been implicated in several human cancers. In this study, we aim to explore its expression and biological function in ovarian cancers. We found miR-488 expression was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues. Using CCK8 and colony formation assay showed that miR-488 inhibited SKOV3 cell proliferation and colony formation, with downregulation of cyclin D1 and cyclin E ...

MiR-181a upregulation is associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and multidrug resistance (MDR) of ovarian cancer cells.

OBJECTIVE Elevated miR-181a is associated with the transition of ovarian tissues from normal into a cancerous state. However, its regulative effect on multidrug resistance (MDR) of ovarian cancer is not quite clear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate its regulative effects on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and MDR in ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression pro...

Altered microRNA expression in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and upregulation of miR-130a associated with MDR1/P-glycoprotein-mediated drug resistance.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules which are involved in the regulation of various biological processes. Drug resistance has become a major obstacle to successful chemotherapy of ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate microRNA expression profiles in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and the role of miR-1...
