This study reveals that circ_0072995 acts as an oncogene in the tumorigenesis and malignant development of ovarian cancer by regulating the miR-122-5p/SLC1A5 axis.
Ovarian cancer is a common cancer affecting women with high morbidity and mortality globally. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found play vital roles in multifarious cancers, including OC. This study aims to explore the biological role and underlying mechanism of circ_0072995 in OC progression. Circ_0072995 was upregulated in OC tissues and cells in a stable structure. Functional experiments indicated that circ_0072995 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and accelerated cell apoptosis of OC cells. Mechanistically, miR-122-5p was a direct target of circ_0072995, and its knockdown reversed the effects of circ_0072995 silence on inhibition of OC cell progression. Meanwhile, SLC1A5 was a downstream target gene of miR-122-5p, and miR-122-5p overexpression inhibited the progression of OC cells by targeting SLC1A5. Moreover, circ_0072995 positively regulated SLC1A5 expression via sponging miR-122-5p. Circ_0072995 could play oncogenic role in tumorigenesis and malignant development of OC by regulating miR-122-5p/SLC1A5 axis, providing a novel approach for OC treatment.
