Effects of sialidase NEU1 siRNA on proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in human ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies encountered in the world. In ovarian cancer tissues of patients, NEU1 was expressed in a higher level than that in adjacent normal tissues. In this research, we aimed to elucidate the role of NEU1 siRNA on proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of OVCAR3 and SKOV3 cells which expressed NEU1 notably.

CDKN3 knockdown reduces cell proliferation, invasion and promotes apoptosis in human ovarian cancer.

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3 (CDKN3) has been reported to promote tumor genesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible mechanisms of silence of CDKN3 exerting the suppressive role on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). To study the potential function of CDKN3 enrolled in the regulation of ovarian tumor, we monitored the EOC cells SKOV3 and HO8910 behaviors including proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and invasion.
