The role of TRPM2-AS lncRNA in OvC has not been explored. This study aimed to investigate whether and how TRPM2-AS contributes to the progression of OvC. First, qRT-PCR was employed to measure the expression of TRPM2-AS, miR-138-5p and SDC3 in OvC samples. A xenograft formation assay was subsequently performed to detect the tumor growth in vivo. The cell viability, colony formation, cell migration, cell invasion and cell apoptosis were later evaluated using a series of experiments. The western blot assay was utilized to detect the SDC3 protein expression and cell-apoptosis markers. Luciferase reporter gene assay, RIP, and RNA pull-down assays were performed to identify the association between TRPM2-AS, miR-138-5p and SDC3. Findings indicated that the expression of TRPM2-AS and SDC3 was significantly upregulated in OvC tissues and cells, while miR-138-5p expression was significantly downregulated in OvC samples. Unlike miR-138-5p, TRPM2-AS and SDC3 were found to promote OvC development. It was also found that TRPM2-AS could sponge miR-138-5p to release SDC3, thus promoting OvC progression. Apart from that, we discovered that both sh-TRPM2-AS and cisplatin could enhance the apoptosis of OvC cells. Overall, our findings suggested that the TRPM2-AS/miR-1385p/SDC3 axis was closely associated with OvC tumorigenesis and cisplatin resistance.
