ABSTRACT
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common malignancy in women of reproductive age. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging players in OC progression. We investigated the function and mechanism of circular RNA hsa_circ_0027803 (circCDK17) in OC pathogenesis. Realtime PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot were utilized for gene and protein expression analysis, respectively. Cell counting kit8 (CCK-8), EdU and Transwell assays investigated OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The associations between circCDK17, miR-22-3p and CD147 were examined by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA-protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. The in vivo model of OC nude mice was constructed to explore the role of circCDK17. CircCDK17 was increased in OC tissue and cells, and patients with higher expression of circCDK17 had a shorter survival. CircCDK17 downregulation inhibited OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and reduced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers. In vivo experiments showed that circCDK17 silencing inhibited OC tumor growth and metastasis. CircCDK17 depletion reduced CD147 level via sponging miR-22-3p. MiR-22-3p knockdown overturned effect of circCDK17 depletion on OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Meanwhile, overexpressed CD147 restored functions of circCDK17 downregulation on OC development. CircCDK17 is an important molecule that regulates OC pathogenic process through miR-22-3p/CD147.
