Abstract

MicroRNA (miR)‑423‑5p is a potential target for the diagnosis and therapy of heart failure and cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and role of miR‑423‑5p in ovarian cancer. miR‑423‑5p expression in ovarian tissues and plasma collected from ovarian cancer patients and healthy volunteers was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction analysis. In addition, a cell proliferation assay, clonogenic assay and Matrigel‑based assay were performed to evaluate the role of miR‑423‑5p in ovarian cancer cells. The results demonstrated that miR‑423‑5p was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and plasma from ovarian cancer patients, compared with healthy individuals. Of note, miR‑423‑5p expression in ovarian tissues and plasma was demonstrated to be inversely correlated with ovarian cancer progression. Transfection with miR‑423‑5p efficiently increased miR‑423‑5p expression in A2780‑s and A2780‑cp cells, which had low miR‑423‑5p expression. Ectopic overexpression of miR‑423‑5p reduced cell proliferation, colony formation and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. In conclusion, the present study indicated that miR‑423‑5p may serve as a diagnostic indicator and functions as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer.
