Abstract

Potential function of LINC00460 in the progression of ovarian cancer (OC) and its underlying mechanism were studied. LINC00460 level in OC tissues and normal ovarian tissues was detected by quantitative real‑time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‑PCR). Correlation between LINC00460 level with tumor stage, tumor size and pathological subtypes of OC was analyzed. Potential influence of LINC00460 on proliferative ability and cell cycle progression was evaluated. In vivo tumorigenesis model was conducted by administration of A2780 cells transfected with sh‑NC or sh‑LINC00460 in nude mice. Predicted through JASPAR database, ZNF703 was screened out as the transcriptional factor binding to LINC00460 promoter region. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was performed to verify the binding relationship between ZNF703 and LINC00460. The potential role of ZNF703 in LINC00460‑mediated OC progression was examined. LINC00460 was upregulated in OC tissues and cell lines. Its level increased with the deterioration of tumor stage and enlargement of tumor size. LINC00460 was highly expressed in serous ovarian cancer relative to other subtypes of OC. Knockdown of LINC00460 attenuated proliferative ability and arrested cell cycle of A2780 and HO8910 cells. ZNF703 was upregulated in OC tissues. ChIP assay showed pronounced enrichment of LINC00460 in ZNF703. Rescue experiments revealed that ZNF703 overexpression reversed the regulatory effects of LINC00460 on cellular behavior of OC cells. LINC00460 is upregulated in OC tissues and cell lines, which is closely related to tumor progression. It accelerates proliferative ability and cell cycle progression of OC cells via interacting with ZNF703.
