  • Abstract:The present study aimed to investigate the functional effects of microRNA-195 on ovarian cancer cells and the underling mechanism involved. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the expression of microRNA-195 in patients with ovarian cancer. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured with MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Caspase-3/9 activity, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)2 and phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) protein expression were analyzed using caspase-3/9 activity kits and western blot analysis. The expression of microRNA-195 was downregulated in ovarian cancer, compared with the normal control group. Furthermore, microRNA-195 suppresses cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. In addition, microRNA-195 suppressed VEGFR2 and p-AKT protein expression in ovarian cancer cells. The inhibition of VEGFR2 and p-AKT increased the functional effects of microRNA-195 on apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. The results demonstrated that microRNA-195 suppresses cell proliferation of ovarian cancer cells through regulation of VEGFR2 and AKT signaling pathways.
