Abstract Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the one of most common gynecological malignant tumors with high mortality. A series of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been validated to play a vital role in EOC tumorigenesis. Colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) has been verified as an oncogenic lncRNA in multiple tumors; however, the role of CCAT2 in EOC genesis is still unclear. The purpose of the present study was to probe the function of CCAT2 on EOC. Preliminary experiments found that CCAT2 expression was significantly upregulated in EOC tissues and cell lines compared to noncancerous tissue and More >

Abstract Recently, abnormal expression of KIAA1199 has been detected in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC). However, the underlined anti-ovarian cancer mechanism of KIAA1199 remains to be enlightened. In our study, we performed to elucidate the effects of KIAA1199 on the advanced biological behavior of EOC cells through activation of the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Confirmed by immunohistochemistry, KIAA1199 was highly expressed in ovarian borderline and malignant epithelial tumors. A retrospective analysis found that EOC patients with low expression of KIAA1199 had a significantly higher 5-year survival rate than those with high expression. Mechanistically, IL-6 was used to stimulate EOC More >
