Abstract
Abstract
Ovarian cancer has ranked as one of the leading causes of female morbidity and mortality around the world, which affects ∼239,000 patients and causes 152,000 deaths every year. Chemotherapeutic resistance of ovarian cancer remains a devastating actuality in clinic. The aberrant upregulation of long non-coding RNA succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A pseudogene 1 (lncRNA SDHAP1) in the Paclitaxel (PTX)-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines has been reported. However, studies focussed on SDHAP1 in its regulatory function of chemotherapeutic resistance in ovarian cancer are limited, and the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that SDHAP1 was upregulated in PTX-resistant SKOV3 and Hey-8 ovarian cancer cell lines while the level of miR-4465 was downregulated. Knocking-down SDHAP1 induced re-acquirement of chemo-sensitivity to PTX in ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Mechanically, SDHAP1 upregulated the expression of EIF4G2 by sponging miR-4465 and thus facilitated the PTX-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. The regulation network involving SDHAP1, miR-4465 and EIF4G2 could be a potential therapy target for the PTX-resistant ovarian cancer.
