Abstract:
Objective. Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy worldwide. We aimed to illustrate the potential function and molecular mechanism of exosomal microRNA-543 (miR-543) in the oncogenesis and development of OvCa. Methods. Differentially expressed microRNAs in exosomes derived from OvCa cell lines were identified by bioinformatic analysis and verified by RT-PCR. Cell proliferation ability was estimated by clonogenic and 5-ethynyl-2 ′ -deoxyuridine assays in vitro and in vivo. Potential involved pathways and targets of exosomal miRNAs were analysed using DIANA and verified by pyrosequencing, glucose quantification, dual-luciferase reporter experiments, and functional rescue assays. Results. Bioinformatic analysis identified miR-543 and its potential target genes involved in the cancer-associated proteoglycan pathway. The expression of miR-543 was significantly decreased in exosomes derived from OvCa cell lines, patient serum, and OvCa tissues, while the mRNA levels of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) were increased. Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-543 resulted in the suppression of OvCa cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, miR-543 was significantly negatively correlated with IGF2 in OvCa tissues in comparison with paracarcinoma tissues. Notably, upregulation of miR-543 led to increased cell supernatant glucose levels and suppressed cell growth, which was rescued by overexpression of IGF2. Conclusions. Exosomal miR-543 participates in the proteoglycan pathway to suppress cell proliferation by targeting IGF2 in OvCa.
