The lncRNA ‘UCA1’ modulates the response to chemotherapy of ovarian cancer through direct binding to miR‐27a‐5p and control of UBE2N levels
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death in patients with gynecologic cancers. Due to late diagnosis and resistance to chemotherapy, the 5‐year survival rate in patients with OC is below 40%. We observed that UCA1, a lncRNA previously reported to play an oncogenic role in several malignanci...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death in patients with gynecologic cancers. Due to late diagnosis and resistance to chemotherapy, the 5‐year survival rate in patients with OC is below 40%. We observed that UCA1, a lncRNA previously reported to play an oncogenic role in several malignancies, is overexpressed in the chemoresistant OC cell line OAW42‐R compared to their chemotherapy‐sensitive counterpart OAW42. Additionally, UCA1 overexpression was related to poor prognosis in two independent patient cohorts. Currently, the molecular mechanisms through which UCA1 acts in OC are poorly understood. We demonstrated that downregulation of the short isoform of UCA1 sensitized OC cells to cisplatin and that UCA1 acted as competing endogenous RNA to miR‐27a‐5p. Upon UCA1 downregulation, miR‐27a‐5p downregulated its direct target UBE2N leading to the upregulation of BIM, a proapoptotic protein of the Bcl2 family.
