ABSTRACT
Cisplatin (DDP) resistance in patients suffering from ovarian cancer is a considerable hurdle to successful treatment. The present study aimed to identify a possible long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)microRNA (miRNA)mRNA axis participating in ovarian cancer DDPresistance based on the critical roles of noncoding RNAs, including lncRNAs and miRNAs, in carcinogenesis. According to online data and experimental results, lncRNA HAND2AS1 expression was significantly downregulated within ovarian carcinoma, especially within recurrent and DDPresistant ovarian carcinoma. The expression of HAND2AS1 was also shown to be markedly inhibited in SKOV3/DDP (DDP) cells with resistance to DDP. In SKOV3/DDP cells, HAND2AS1 overexpression inhibited cell viability and promoted cell apoptosis upon DDP treatment through the Bcl2/caspase3 apoptotic signaling. It was hypothesized that PTEN mRNA expression was also markedly inhibited in SKOV3/DDP ovarian cancer cells, while HAND2AS1 overexpression rescued PTEN proteins and blocked PI3K/AKT signaling activation. Moreover, miR106a was found to bind directly to PTEN 3' UTR and HAND2AS1. Upon DDP treatment, miR106a overexpression in SKOV3/DDP cells promoted cell viability. It inhibited cell apoptosis through the Bcl2/caspase3 apoptotic signaling pathway and downregulated the protein levels of PTEN and upregulated PI3K/AKT signaling activity. Furthermore, miR106a overexpression partially reversed the effect of HAND2AS1 overexpression upon PTEN proteins and SKOV3/DDP cell proliferation upon DDP treatment. In conclusion, a lncRNA HAND2AS1/miR106a/PTEN axis that resensitizes DDPresistant SKOV3/DDP cells to DDP treatment has been established.
