    Abstract:
    Metastasis and drug resistance are major contributors to cancer-related fatalities worldwide. In ovarian cancer (OC), a staggering 70% develop resistance to the front-line therapy, cisplatin. Despite proposed mechanisms, the molecular events driving cisplatin resistance remain unclear. Dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in OC initiation, progression, and chemoresistance, yet few studies have compared miRNA expression in OC samples and cell lines. This study aimed to identify key miRNAs involved in the cisplatin resistance of high-grade-serous-ovarian-cancer (HGSOC), the most common gynecological malignancy. MiRNA expression profiles were conducted on RNA isolated from formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded human ovarian tumor samples and HGSOC cell lines. Nine miRNAs were identified in both sample types. Targeting these with oligonucleotide miRNA inhibitors (OMIs) reduced proliferation by more than 50% for miR-203a, miR-96-5p, miR-10a-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-200c-3p, miR-182-5p, miR-183-5p, and miR-1206. OMIs significantly reduced migration for miR-183-5p, miR-203a, miR-296-5p, and miR-1206. Molecular pathway analysis revealed that the nine miRNAs regulate pathways associated with proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance through PTEN, ZEB1, FOXO1, and SNAI2. High expression of miR-1206, miR-10a-5p, miR-141-3p, and miR-96-5p correlated with poor prognosis in OC patients according to the KM plotter database. These nine miRNAs could be used as targets for therapy and as markers of cisplatin response.
