Abstract Background Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and malignant cancers, partly due to its late diagnosis and high recurrence. Chemotherapy resistance has been linked to poor prognosis and is believed to be linked to the cancer stem cell (CSC) pool. Therefore, elucidating the molecular mechanisms mediating therapy resistance is essential to finding new targets for therapy-resistant tumors. Methods shRNA depletion of MYPT1 in ovarian cancer cell lines, miRNA overexpression, RT-qPCR analysis, patient tumor samples, cell line- and tumorsphere-derived xenografts, in vitro and in vivo treatments, analysis of data from ovarian tumors in public transcriptomic patient databases and in-house patient cohorts. Results We show that MYPT1 (PPP1R12A), encoding myosin phosphatase target subunit 1, is downregulated in ovarian tumors, leading to reduced survival and increased tumorigenesis, as well as resistance to platinum-based therapy. Similarly, overexpression of miR-30b targeting MYPT1 results in enhanced CSC-like properties in ovarian tumor cells and is connected to the activation of the Hippo pathway. Inhibition of the Hippo pathway transcriptional co-activator YAP suppresses the resistance to platinum-based therapy induced by either low MYPT1 expression or miR-30b overexpression, both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions Our work provides a functional link between the resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian tumors and the increase in the CSC pool that results from the activation of the Hippo pathway target genes upon MYPT1 downregulation. Combination therapy with cisplatin and YAP inhibitors suppresses MYPT1-induced resistance, demonstrating the possibility of using this treatment in patients with low MYPT1 expression, who are likely to be resistant to platinum-based therapy.

Abstract Background Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), a subclass of ovarian cancer (OC), is usually diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of effective screening means. Mounting reports have disclosed the vitally important roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in carcinogenesis. Here, we aimed to find out possible miRNAs participating in EOC development. Methods qRT-PCR ad western blot respectively examined the mRNA and protein levels of studied genes. CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry, TUNEL and spheroid formation assays were appropriately employed for examining cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and stemness. The interaction between molecules was affirmed by luciferase reporter, RNA pull down and ChIP assays. Results In consistent with the observation of a past study, miR-596 expression was relatively low in EOC cells. Up-regulating miR-596 suppressed EOC cell proliferation and stemness. EP300 transcriptionally activated miR-596 to serve as a tumor-repressor in EOC. Then BRD4 and KPNA4, whose knockdown led to restraining effects on cell growth and stemness, were both revealed to be targeted by miR-596 in EOC. Lastly, rescue assays affirmed the tumor-restraining role of miR-596-BRD4/KPNA4 axis in EOC. Conclusion EP300-activated miR-596 hampered cell growth and stemness via targeting BRD4 and KPNA4 in EOC, proofing miR-596 as a promising therapeutic target in treating EOC patients.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Despite current therapeutic and surgical options, advanced EOC shows poor prognosis. Identifying novel molecular therapeutic targets is highly needed in the management of EOC. Krupple-like factor 5 (KLF5), a zinc-finger transcriptional factor, is highly expressed in a variety of cancer types. However, its role and expression in EOC is not fully illustrated. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to assess KLF5 protein expression in 425 primary EOC samples using tissue microarray. We also addressed the function of KLF5 in EOC and its interaction with signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. We found that KLF5 overexpressed in 53% (229/425) of EOC samples, and is associated with aggressive markers. Forced expression of KLF5 enhanced cell growth in low expressing EOC cell line, MDAH2774. Conversely, knockdown of KLF5 reduced cell growth, migration, invasion and progression of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in KLF5 expressing cell lines, OVISE and OVSAHO. Importantly, silencing of KLF5 decreased the self-renewal ability of spheroids generated from OVISE and OVSAHO cell lines. In addition, downregulation of KLF5 potentiated the effect of cisplatin to induce apoptosis in these cell lines. These data reveals the pro-tumorigenic role of KLF5 in EOC and uncover its role in activation of STAT3 signaling pathway, suggesting the importance of KLF5 as a potential therapeutic target for EOC therapy.
