Background: To investigate the role of lncRNA LINC00665 in modulating ovarian cancer stemness and its influence on treatment resistance and cancer development. Methods: We isolated ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) from the COC1 cell line using a combination of chemotherapeutic agents and growth factors, and verified their stemness through western blotting and immunofluorescence for stem cell markers. Employing bioinformatics, we identified lncRNAs associated with ovarian cancer, with a focus on LINC00665 and its interaction with the CNBP mRNA. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR were utilized to examine their expression and localization, alongside functional assays to determine the effects of LINC00665 on CNBP. Results: LINC00665 employs its Alu elements to interact with the 3'-UTR of CNBP mRNA, targeting it for degradation. This molecular crosstalk enhances stemness by promoting the STAU1-mediated decay of CNBP mRNA, thereby modulating the Wnt and Notch signaling cascades that are pivotal for maintaining CSC characteristics and driving tumor progression. These mechanistic insights were corroborated by a series of in vitro assays and validated in vivo using tumor xenograft models. Furthermore, we established a positive correlation between elevated CNBP levels and increased disease-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer, underscoring the prognostic value of CNBP in this context. Conclusions: lncRNA LINC00665 enhances stemness in ovarian cancer by mediating the degradation of CNBP mRNA, thereby identifying LINC00665 as a potential therapeutic target to counteract drug resistance and tumor recurrence associated with CSCs.
