ABSTRACT
It has been confirmed that circular RNA participates in tumorgenesis through a variety of ways, so it may be used as a molecular marker for tumor diagnosis and treatment. In this study, the expression of circ-LOPD2 in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The dual luciferase report was used to verify the target of circ-LOPD2, and the silencing and overexpression of circ-CSPP1 in cell lines was used to explore its relationship with miRNA-378. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 method, and the expression level of miRNA-378 was detected by qRT-PCR. The results showed that circ-LOPD2 was highly expressed in ovarian cancer (OC) tissues, circ-LOPD2 expression levels were higher in OVCAR3 and A2780, and circ-LOPD2 expression levels in CAOV3 were lower. After silencing circ-LOPD2, the growth ability of OVCAR3 and A2780 cells decreased, while overexpression of circ-LOPD2 led to the opposite result. We also found that miR-378 is a target of circ-LOPD2. Silencing circ-LOPD2 will increase the expression of miR-378, and overexpression of circ-LOPD2 will decrease the expression of miR-378. In summary, our results show that circ-LOPD2 as a miR-378 sponge promotes the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, which may in turn promote the development of OC.
