Abstract

In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in a multitude of pathways across species; however, their functions are still unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that Linc00261 is downregulation in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and can inhibit cell proliferation and migration of high-grade serous ovarian cancer cells. We further validate the targeting interactions among Linc00261, miR-552, and ATG10. Interestingly, they all play important roles for regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression. Collectively, these findings suggest that Linc00261, a mediator of EMT progression, can target oncogenic miR-552, elevating ATG10 expression, to prevent high-grade serous ovarian cancer tumorigenesis and may serve as a potential novel therapeutic target.
