Abstract

Objective and design

We investigated the expressions of lncRNA MEG3 and PTEN in ovarian cancer tissues and their effects on cell proliferation, cycle and apoptosis of ovarian cancer.

Methods

Expression levels of MEG3 in ovarian cancer cell lines and normal ovarian cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were measured by flow cytometry. Cell invasion capability was tested by transwell assay. Cell migration capacity was tested by wound healing. The xenograft model was constructed to explore the effect of lncRNA MEG3 on ovarian cancer in vivo.

Result

Compared with normal ovarian cells, expression levels of MEG3 and PTEN were relatively lower in ovarian cancer cells. There was a positive correlation between the expression of PTEN and the expression of MEG3. Enhanced expression level of PTEN suppressed SKOV3 cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis rate, and decreased cell invasion and migration.

Conclusion

LncRNA MEG3 and PTEN were down-regulated in ovarian cancer cells. LncRNA MEG3 regulated the downstream gene PTEN in ovarian cancer cells to prohibit cell proliferation, promote apoptosis and block cell cycle progression.

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
