ABSTRACT
Increased expression of FOXM1 is observed in a variety of human malignancies. The downstream target genes of FOXM1 involved in tumorigenesis and development are not fully elucidated in ovarian cancer. Here, we identified Cyclin F, a substrate recognition subunit of SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein) complex, and Kinesin Family Member 20A (KIF20A) were transcriptionally regulated by FOXM1 in ovarian cancer. Accordingly, Cyclin F and KIF20A were commonly overexpressed in ovarian cancer. Functionally, forced expression of Cyclin F or KIF20A significantly enhanced while knockdown of them decreased proliferation and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. Importantly, high levels of Cyclin F and KIF20A correlated with poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. Our findings indicate that Cyclin F and KIF20A are functional targets of FOXM1 which might be potential drug targets in ovarian cancer.
