Abstract

Long stress-induced noncoding transcript 5 (LSINCT5) is a member of the LSINCT family, members of which are expressed during stress-induced cell formation and have also been reported to promote cancer progression. In the present study, the association between LSINCT5 expression and clinical significance was investigated and the biological function of LSINCT5 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) was explored. LSINCT5 expression was examined in EOC tissues by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and its association with clinicopathological factors was analysed. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion tests were performed to observe the role of LSINCT5 in human ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro. The negative control (NC) and siLSINCT5 SKOV3 cells were treated with chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) and their proliferation, migration and invasion activities were examined. LSINCT5 was overexpressed in EOC compared with normal ovarian tissue. LSINCT5 expression was significantly associated with the International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians cancer stage and the presence of lymphatic metastases. Silencing LSINCT5 significantly reduced the expression of chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and inhibited SKO...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
