MicroRNA‑193a‑5p exerts a tumor suppressive role in epithelial ovarian cancer by modulating RBBP6
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), a gynecological tumor, is associated with high mortality. MicroRNAs (miRs) serve a crucial role in EOC; however, the mechanisms underlying the effect of miRNA‑193a‑5p in EOC are not completely understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the expression levels of miR‑193a‑5p in serum samples of patients with EOC and to determine the role of miR‑193a‑5p in EOC. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression levels of miR‑193a‑5p in serum samples of patients with EOC and EOC cell lines. The effects of miR‑193a‑5p and RB binding protein 6, ubiquitin ligase (RBBP6) on the biological functions of EOC were determined by conducting a series of
