| Abstract |
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a life-threatening gynecological malignancy where dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is frequently implicated. This study focuses on the function of miR-545 on OC development and the molecules involved. miR-545 expression in OC tissues and cell lines was determined, and its link to the survival of patients was analyzed. Altered expression of miR-545 was induced to determine its role in proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of OC cells and the angiogenesis ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The targeting mRNAs of miR-545 were predicted and validated through luciferase assays. Gain-of-function studies of KDM4B and PLK1 were performed to explore their involvements in OC development. In vivo experiments were conducted by inducing xenograft tumors in nude mice. Poor expression of miR-545 was found in OC tissues and cells compared to the normal ones and it indicated unfavorable prognosis in patients. Overexpression of miR-545 suppressed growth, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of OC cells as well as the angiogenesis ability of HUVECs. miR-545 was found to target mRNAs of KDM4B and PLK1, while KDM4B promoted the transcription of the PLK1 promoter through demethylation of H3K9me3. Either overexpression of KDM4B or PLK1 partially blocked the inhibitory effects of miR-545 mimic on OC cell growth, especially the former one. The in vitro results were reproduced in vivo. This study evidenced that miR-545 suppresses progression of OC through mediating PLK1 expression by a direct binding and an indirect regulation involving KDM4B-mediated demethylation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 February 2021.
All research outputs
#20,685,434
of 23,283,373 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#6,590
of 8,435 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#470,558
of 548,444 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#142
of 203 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,283,373 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,435 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 548,444 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 203 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
