Background: The Cripto-1 (CR-1)/glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) complex was involved in enhancing survival in different types of cells. CR-1 presented increased levels in ovarian carcinoma tissue. However, the potential mechanism of CR-1/GRP78 was unclear in ovarian cancer. Thus, the study aimed to analyze the role of CR-1/GRP78 in ovarian carcinoma cells. Methods and materials: The CR-1 and GRP78 expression in different ovarian cancer cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot (WB). Immunoprecipitation assay was performed to analyze whether Cripto-1 interacted with GRP78. The CR-1 interfering plasmids or GRP-78 overexpressing plasmids transfected into cells were used to decrease endogenous CR-1 levels and increase GRP-78 levels. Cell clonogenicity and proliferation capabilities were separately evaluated by clone growth assay, along with the detection of cell migration and invasion abilities by transwell and wound healing assay. In addition, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) levels were detected by WB. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by Flow Cytometer and the detection of apoptosis-related proteins. Results: The results showed that CR-1 and GRP78 levels were higher in SKOV3 than other cell lines. Furthermore, CR-1 interacted with GRP78 in cells, which formed protein complex. CR-1 silence significantly decreased GRP-78 levels. Moreover, GRP78 overexpression blocked the anti-survival effects caused by CR-1 knockdown. Conclusion: CR-1 silence inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis via GRP78. It replied that GRP-78 overexpression might enhance the biological functions of CR-1/GRP78 complex ameliorated by CR-1 silence. Thus, CR-1/GRP78 could be a potential target for treating ovarian carcinoma.

We investigated the effects of silencing the regulator of ribosome synthesis 1 (RRS1) gene on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian carcinoma cells, and its possible role in modulating signal transduction in these cells. Normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 was used as a control. We examined the mRNA and protein level of RRS1 using qRT-PCR and western blot in control and ovarian carcinoma cells (SKOV-3, SW626, and CAOV3). RNA interference technology was used to knockdown RRS1 expression in CAOV3 cells. MTT was used to examine the proliferation of these cells, while a Transwell assay was used to assay the cells’ migration and invasion abilities. Western blot was used to measure the levels of CyclinD1, P21, MMP-2, MMP-9, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins. In comparison with normal ovarian epithelial cells (IOSE80), RRS1 mRNA and protein levels were increased in ovarian carcinoma cells (SKOV-3, SW626 and CAOV3) (P < 0.05). Because RRS1 levels were highest in CAOV3 cells, these cells were used for subsequent experiments. RRS1 gene expression was knocked down in CAOV3 cells, and in comparison with the negative control group, siRNA-RRS1 cells exhibited decreased proliferation in the MTT assay after 48 h and 72 h (P < 0.05). These cells also exhibited reduced migration and invasion (P < 0.05). Further, siRNA-RRS1 cells exhibited reduced expression of CyclinD1, MMP-2, MMP-9, P-JAK2 and P-STAT3 proteins (P < 0.05), while P21 protein levels were increased (P < 0.05). Silencing RRS1 expression inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian carcinoma cells. This effect may be mediated by the inhibition of the STAT3 signaling pathway in these cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the sensitivity of ovarian carcinoma to paclitaxel, one of the most common drugs used for the management of this tumour histotype. ET-1 is a powerful mitogenic peptide produced by ovarian carcinomas and it acts as an autocrine growth factor, selectively through ETA receptor (ETAR), which is predominantly expressed in this tumour. OVCA 433 and HEY, two ovarian carcinoma cell lines, which produce elevated amounts of ET-1 and express abundantly high-affinity ETARs, were used. As demonstrated by sub-G1 peak in DNA content histograms and terminal transferase deoxytidyl uridine end labelling assay, we found that paclitaxel induces cytotoxic effect through the activation of apoptosis in both cell lines. When the treatment with paclitaxel was performed in association with ET-1, paclitaxel-induced apoptosis was inhibited. In order to evaluate which ET-1 receptor mediated the effect of ET-1 on protection from paclitaxel-induced apoptosis, we performed experiments using two selective antagonists for ETAR (BQ-123) and for ETBR (BQ-788). We showed that ETAR blockade inhibits the ET-1-induced survival activity against paclitaxel-mediated apoptosis. However, no effect was observed on blocking ETBR with BQ-788. Our results establish a novel role for ET-1 in determining survival of ovarian carcinoma cells and suggest that pharmacological ETAR blockade using a specific ETAR antagonist may provide a novel approach to the treatment of ovarian carcinoma in combination therapy.

Ellagic acid (EA) is able to inhibit the growth of several cancer cells; however, its effect on human ovarian carcinoma cells has not yet been investigated. Ovarian carcinoma ES-2 and PA-1 cells were treated with EA (10~100 μM) and assessed for viability, cell cycle, apoptosis, anoikis, autophagy, and chemosensitivity to doxorubicin and their molecular mechanisms. EA inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner by arresting both cell lines at the G1 phase of the cell cycle, which were from elevating p53 and Cip1/p21 and decreasing cyclin D1 and E levels. EA also induced caspase-3-mediated apoptosis by increasing the Bax : Bcl-2 ratio and restored anoikis in both cell lines. The enhancement of apoptosis and/or inhibition of autophagy in these cells by EA assisted the chemotherapy efficacy. The results indicated that EA is a potential novel chemoprevention and treatment assistant agent for human ovarian carcinoma.

The Impact

Abstract BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial functions in the progression of ovarian cancer. MicroRNA-27b-5p (miR-27b-5p) has been identified as a cancer-associated miRNA. Nevertheless, the expression profile of miR-27b-5p and its functions in ovarian cancer are unexplored.MethodsqRT-PCR and western blot analysis were used to detect the levels of miR-27b-5p and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1). The impact of miR-27b-5p on ovarian cancer cells proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro were investigated using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), wound healing and Transwell, respectively. The expression of matrix metalloprotein-2/9 (MMP-2/9) were measured using immunofluorescence staining. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter analysis were used to predict the target of miR-27b-5p. The growth of ovarian cancer cells in vivo was evaluated using transplanted tumor model.ResultsHere, we demonstrated that miR-27b-5p was downregulated in ovarian carcinoma cells and clinical specimens. Higher expression of miR-27b-5p was associated with an unfavorable overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. Upregulation of miR-27b-5p decreased the viability, migration ability and invasion capacity of SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cell. MiR-27b-5p also inhibited the growth of SKOV3 cell in nude mice. Additionally, we verified that CXCL1 was a target of miR-27b-5p in ovarian carcinoma cells. Restoring the expression of CXCL1 abolished the inhibitory impacts of miR-27b-5p in ovarian cancer carcinoma cells.ConclusionThis research revealed that miR-27b-5p restrained the progression of ovarian carcinoma possibly via targeting CXCL1.

Invasion Assays

Our goal was to explore the impact of paclitaxel-containing nanoliposomes (PTXN) on the proliferation of and invasion by ovarian carcinoma cells. An MTT assay was used to examine growth of SKOV3 and HO8910 ovarian carcinoma cells in the presence of paclitaxel (TAX) alone or PTXN. Transwell invasion assays were performed; Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to examine expression of matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-9. PTXN administered at concentrations from 0.625–10 μg/mL was more effective at inhibiting the proliferation of SKOV3 and HO8910 cells than was TAX alone (P < 0.05). Administration of PTXN to these cells reduced their capacity for invasion, and expression of MMP-9 mRNA and protein over that achieved by administration of TAX alone (P < 0.05). PTXN promotes more effective inhibition of invasion of ovarian carcinoma cells than does TAX alone.
