RETRACTED ARTICLE: CircLNPEP promotes the progression of ovarian cancer through regulating miR-876-3p/ WNT5A axis
8Citations
CircRNA LNPEP has been shown to promote the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, but its function in ovarian cancer (OC) remains unclear. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the clinical significance of circLNPEP expression in OC patients. The stability of circLNPEP was detected by actinomycin D and RNase R treatment. The correlations between miR-876-3p and two genes (circLNPEP and WNT5A) were predicted by bioinformatics analysis and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Expressions of circLNPEP, miR-876-3p, and WNT5A were determined by qRT-PCR and western blot. The effect of circLNPEP/miR-876-3p/WNT5A axis on viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion, and angiogenesis of cells was determined by cell function experiment and rescue experiment. Xenograft tumor mice were constructed for
