PSMC2/CCND1 axis promotes development of ovarian cancer through regulating cell growth, apoptosis and migration.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is known as one of the most common malignancies of the gynecological system, whose treatment is still not satisfactory because of the unclear understanding of molecular mechanism. PSMC2 is an essential component of 19 S regulatory granules in 26 S proteasome and its relationship with ovarian cancer is still not clear. In this study, we found that PSMC2 was upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues, associated with tumor grade and could probably predict poor prognosis. Knocking down the endogenous PSMC2 expression in ovarian cancer cells could decrease colony formation ability, cell motility and cell proliferation rate, along with increasing cell apoptosis rate. Cells models or xenografts formed by cells with relatively lower expression of PSMC2 exhibited weaker oncogenicity and
