Abstract

Increasing evidences have revealed that microRNAs regulate various biological processes. However, the roles of miR-761 have not been investigated in ovarian cancer. Here, we found that miR-761 expression was significantly lower in ovarian cancer tissues than in their paired noncancerous tissues. Further study revealed that miR-761 overexpression inhibited the ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that the oncogenic properties of miR-761 in ovarian cancer were mediated in part by regulating MSI1 expression. miR-761 and MSI1 are inversely expressed in ovarian cancer tissues. In conclusion, we demonstrated that miR-761 repressed ovarian cancer proliferation and invasion by targeting MSI1.
