Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a high-mortality gynecological cancer that is typically treated with cisplatin, although such treatment often results in chemoresistance. Ovarian cancer resistance is usually related to cell stemness. Herein, we explored the function of lncRNA WDFY3-AS2 in OC cell resistance to cisplatin (DDP). Cisplatin resistant OC A2780 cell lines (A2780-DDP) were established by long-term exposure to cisplatin. CCK-8 assay were performed to evaluate the viability of A2780, and A2780-DDP cells. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of lncRNA WDFY3-AS2, miR-139-5p, and SDC4 in A2780-DDP cell lines. After treatment with cisplatin, cell apoptosis and CD44+CD166+-positive cells were measured by flow cytometry. The transwell assays were employed to measure the effect of WDFY3-AS2 on cell migration, and invasion. In addition, tumorsphere formation assay was used to enrich OC cancer stem cells (CSCs) from A2780-DDP cells. The expression of CSC markers (SOX2, OCT4, and Nanog) was detected by western blotting. The regulatory mechanism was confirmed by RNA pull down, and luciferase reporter assays. Furthermore, xenograft tumor in nude mice was used to assess the impact of WDFY3-AS2 on cisplatin resistance in OC in vivo. WDFY3-AS2 was highly expressed in OC A2780-DDP cells, and silencing WDFY3-AS2 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion but increased apoptosis in OC A2780-DDP cells. Additionally, WDFY3-AS2 significantly promoted the A2780-DDP cells tumorspheres. WDFY3-AS2 was predicted to impact OC by sponging miR-139-5p and regulating SDC4. The xenografts inoculated with A2780-DDP cells additionally confirmed that tumor growth in vivo was reduced by si-WDFY3-AS2 transfection. MiR-139-5p inhibitor or SDC4 overexpression could restore the suppressive influence of silenced WDFY3-AS2 on tumor growth. Together, WDFY3-AS2 may lead to change of cisplatin resistance by the expression of miR-139-5p/SDC4 in the OC A2870-DDP cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our finding may provide a drug target for the drug resistance of OC.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. 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 23 August 2023.
All research outputs
#3,071,196
of 25,389,116 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell International
#137
of 2,218 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,758
of 441,755 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell International
#2
of 126 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,389,116 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,218 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
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 441,755 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 126 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
