miR-200b/200a/429 Cluster Stimulates Ovarian Cancer Development by Targeting ING5. J Oncol. 2020;2020:3404059 Authors: Guan W, Cui H, Huang P, Chun WJ, Lee JW, Kim H, Zou H Abstract Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynaecological malignancy, and microRNAs (miRNAs) play important role in the cancer development. Here, we found that the level of miR-200b/200a/429 was significantly increased in serum and tumor tissues of patients with stage-I ovarian cancer. Consistent with these results, we detected increased expression levels of miR-200b/200a/429 in ovarian cancer cell lines compared with the human nontumorigenic ovarian epithelial cell line T80. The overexpression of miR-200b/200a/429 in T80 cells stimulated proliferation and caused their growth in soft agar and tumor formation in nude mice. Furthermore, we determined that miR-200b/200a/429 targets inhibitor of growth family 5 (ING5) and that the overexpression of ING5 can block miR-200b/200a/429-induced T80 cell transformation and tumorigenesis. Our findings suggest that miR-200b/200a/429 may be a useful biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer and that miR-200b/200a/429 significantly contributes to ovarian cancer development through ING5.
