Abstract
Previous studies have shown that microRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian carcinoma (OC). However, the abnormal expression and function of miR-342-3p have not been reported in OC. Therefore, this research was designed to explore its role in OC. In this study, qRT-PCR assay showed that the expression level of miR-342-3p was reduced in OC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, Transwell assay suggested that overexpression of miR-342-3p suppressed cell migration and invasion in OC. In addition, forkhead box protein Q1 (FOXQ1) was confirmed to be a direct target gene by luciferase activity assay. Furthermore, FOXQ1 was found to be upregulated and function as an oncogene in OC. More importantly, miR-342-3p was negatively correlated with FOXQ1 expression in OC tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of FOXQ1 could partially rescue inhibitory effect of miR-342-3p on cell migration and invasion in OC. In brief, we concluded that miR-342-3p inhibited migration and invasion of OC cells through suppressing FOXQ1 expression.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
