MiR-588 acts as an oncogene in ovarian cancer and increases the radioresistance of ovarian cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: The therapeutic outcomes of ovarian cancer (OVCA) patients are majorly limited by the development of acquired chemo/radioresistance and the lack of targeted therapies. Accumulating studies demonstrate that microRNAs are involved in tumorigenesis and radioresistance. This study aims to illustrate the role of miR-588 in the radioresistance of OVCA cells. The levels of miR-588 and mRNAs were detected by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). OVCA cell viability, proliferative, migratory and invasive capacities were evaluated by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. The luciferase activities of plasmids containing wild -type and mutant serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 6 (SRSF6)
