YU Danyang,LIANG Zongwen,XU Chaoyi, et al. The relationship between expression of miR-631 and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer[J]. JOURNAL OF WEZHOU MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, 2019, 49(10): 712-717.
Abstract:Objective: To explore the data of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) patients in the Tumor and Cancer Gene Map (TCGA) database by analyzing the relationship between the expression of microRNA-631 (miR-631) and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of EOC patients and to investigate the effect of miR-631 on EOC cell migration and tumor volume. Methods: Clinical pathological features and corresponding microRNA expression date were extracted from TCGA database of 570 patients with EOC. The optimal cutoff value of miR-631 expression was calculated by X-tile software, and based on this optimal cutoff value the patients were grouped. The Kaplan-Meier curve and the Cox proportional hazards model was performed to assess the prognostic value of miR-631 expression in EOC patients. The miR-631 low-expressing EOC cell lines A2780, COV504 and miR-631 high-expressing cell lines ES2 and SKOV3 were selected by up-regulating the expression of miR-631 in low-expressing cell lines and down-regulating the expression in high-expressing cell lines to observe the ability of cell to migrate. The nude mouse EOC model was established and divided as the control group and miR-631 mimic group. The tumor volume of the two groups was observed. Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of EOC patients with miR-631 low-level expression group (miR-631 expression value<4.78) was higher than that of EOC patients with miR-631 high-level expression group (miR-631 expression value≥4.78) (HR=0.65, 95%CI=0.47-0.89, P=0.008). Univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that miR-631 expression may be an independent factor influencing the prognosis of patients with EOC (HR=0.72, 95%CI=0.54-0.97, P=0.029). Up-regulation of miR-631 expression inhibits migration of EOC cells, and down-regulation of miR-631 expression promotes migration of EOC cells. Upregulation of miR-631 expression in the EOC nude mouse model reduced EOC tumor formation volume. Conclusion: Low expression of miR-631 may indicate poor prognosis in patients with EOC. Up-regulation of miR-631 can inhibit EOC migration and significantly reduce tumor volume, which may have therapeutic implications for EOC.
