RNA sequencing (RNA-SEQ) of FOXM1 knockdown by siRNA in ovarian cancer cells


ABSTRACT: Purpose:Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) transcription factor is ubiquitously expressed in embryonic tissues but rare in differentiated cells. Increased expression of FOXM1 is observed in a variety of human malignancies. Here, we sought to characterize the expression and tumorigenic roles of FOXM1 in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Experimental Design:TCGA dataset were analyed to identify potential master transcriptional regulators in HGSOC. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the clinical significance of FOXM1 in HGSOC. Invasion, clonogenic assays were conducted to determine to functional role of FOXM1. ChIP-seq and luciferase analyses were utilized to identify FOXM1 direct target genes in HGSOC. Association between mutant p53 and FOXM1 expression was investigated through TCGA data analysis, immunohistochemistry stainingand western blot. Results: We identified FOXM1 as a potential key transcription factor in ovarian cancer. FOXM1 was markedly increased in HGSOCs and high FOXM1 expression correlated with poor prognosis in HGSOC patients. Mechanistically, FOXM1 regulated CCNF and KIF20A at transcriptional level through binding on their promoters. Consistently, CCNF and KIF20A were elevated in HGSOCs and correlated with poor prognosis. Importantly, mutant p53 contribute to the high expression of FOXM1 in HGSOCs. Conclusions: These data reveal FOXM1 as a driver oncogenic transcription factor that promotes ovarian cancer malignancy which might be a potential drug target in HGSOC.
