Abstrakt: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy with a high mortality rate. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8) is a cell membrane receptor belonging LDL receptor family and is involved in several tumor progressions. However, there is limited understanding of how LRP8 mediates OC development. LRP8 expression level was identified in human OC tissues and cells using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays, respectively. Functions of LRP8 in OC progression were evaluated by Celigo cell counting, wound healing, transwell and flow cytometry assays, and the xenograft models. The human phospho-kinase array analysis was used for screening potential signaling involved in OC development. We observed that LRP8 was overexpressed in OC tissues, and high expression of LRP8 was associated with poor prognosis of OC patients. Functionally, LRP8 knockdown remarkably reduced proliferation and migration of OC cells, and induced apoptosis and S phase cycle arrest. LRP8 deficiency attenuated in vivo tumor growth of OC cells. Moreover, the addition of p53 inhibitor partially reversed the effects of LRP8 knockdown on OC cell proliferation and apoptosis, indicating the involvement of p53 signaling in LRP8-mediated OC progression. This study confirmed that LRP8/p53 axis contributed to OC progression, which might serve as a novel potential therapeutic target for OC patients.
