Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lncRNA DUXAP8 on proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells, and to explore its potential mechanism. DUXAP8 interfering and overexpressing cell lines were constructed and the cell proliferation and apoptosis were tested. Hematoxylin–eosin, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the effect of DUXAP8 on the ability of tumor formation. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of miR-590-5p and YAP1, respectively. Dual luciferase assay was used to determine the target relationship between DUXAP8, miR-590-5p, and YAP1. DUXAP8 interference and miR-590-5p down-regulated cell lines were further constructed. Compared with normal ovarian cells, the expression of DUXAP8 in ovarian cancer cells was significantly increased, while the expression of miR-590-5p was decreased (p < 0.05). After DUXAP8 interference, cell proliferation and colony formation were decreased, and apoptosis was increased. The results of in vivo experiment are consistent with the in vitro experiments. The expression of miR-590-5p was up-regulated and the expression of YAP1 was decreased after DUXAP8 interference. Moreover, miR590-5p inhibitor can attenuate the effect of DUXAP8 interference on ovarian cancer cells. Taken together, lncRNA DUXAP8 can regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of YAP1 gene by targeting miR-590-5p.
