Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among reproductive-aged women worldwide, however, the mechanisms and progression of PCOS still unclear due to its heterogeneous nature. Using the human granulosa-like tumor cell line (KGN) and PCOS mice model, we explored the function of lncRNA UCA1 in the pathological progression of PCOS. Results CCK8 assay and Flow cytometry were used to do the cell cycle, apoptosis and proliferation analysis, the results showed that UCA1 knockdown in KGN cells inhibited cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and promoted cell apoptosis. In the in vivo experiment, the ovary of PCOS mice was injected with lentivirus carrying sh-UCA1, the results showed that knockdown of lncRNA UCA1 attenuated the ovary structural damage, increased the number of granular cells, inhibited serum insulin and testosterone release, and reduced the pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Western blot also revealed that UCA1 knockdown in PCOS mice repressed AKT activation, inhibitor experiment demonstrated that suppression of AKT signaling pathway, inhibited the cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Conclusions Our study revealed that, in vitro, UCA1 knockdown influenced the apoptosis and proliferation of KGN cells, in vivo, silencing of UCA1 regulated the ovary structural damage, serum insulin release, pro-inflammatory production, and AKT signaling pathway activation, suggesting lncRNA UCA1 plays an important role in the pathological progression of PCOS.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious threat to human health. miR-340 participates in HCC pathogenesis, but its specific mechanism is not completely clear. Therefore, our study assessed the mechanism by how miR-340 involves in HCC. The cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues of HCC patients were collected. miR-340 mimics/NC and Akt siRNA were transfected into HepG2 cells followed by analysis of miR-304 and EMT-related molecules expression by Real-time PCR, cell invasion and migration by Transwell assay, cell proliferation ability by CCK8 assay as well as p-Akt and p-mTOR level by Western blot. miR-340 in HCC tissues was significantly downregulated compared to adjacent tissues (P <0.001). With increased pathological grade, miR-340 expression was decreased gradually. p-Akt and p-mTOR in HCC tissues was significantly upregulated and elevated gradually with increased pathological grade. p-Akt and p-mTOR was negatively associated with miR-340 (P <0.001). After overexpression of miR-340, HepG2 cell proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelialization were significantly inhibited, and p-Akt and p-mTOR was reduced. When Akt expression was interfered with siRNA, cell proliferation and epithelialization was further inhibited. miR-340 inhibits the development of hepatocellular carcinoma through Akt signaling pathway.
