MicroRNA-204-5p Inhibits Ovarian Cancer Cell Proliferation by Down-Regulating USP47

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer, and the incidence of OC has risen steadily worldwide. Numerous microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in the progression of OC. miR-204-5p is down-regulated and functions as a tumor suppressor in various types of human malignant t...

Sumario:Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer, and the incidence of OC has risen steadily worldwide. Numerous microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in the progression of OC. miR-204-5p is down-regulated and functions as a tumor suppressor in various types of human malignant tumors. However, the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of miR-204-5p in OC still remain unclear. In this study, the aberrant down-regulation of miR-204-5p was detected in OC tissues. We also observed that miR-204-5p overexpression represses OC cell proliferation. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 47 (USP47) is verified as the functional target of miR-204-5p, through which it plays an important biological role in OC. Our results uncover new functions and mechanisms for miR-204-5p in the progression of OC, and provide a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of OC.
