Popis: The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of long noncoding RNA mi-R4435-2HG in ovarian carcinoma. mi-R4435-2HG and Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) were demonstrated to both be upregulated in ovarian carcinoma. mi-R4435-2HG and ROCK2 were positively correlated in both tumor and healthy tissues. mi-R4435-2HG overexpression mediated the upregulation of ROCK2, while upregulation of ROCK2 did not affect mi-R4435-2HG. Overexpression of mi-R4435-2HG and ROCK2 led to promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of cancer cells, while mi-R4435-2HG and ROCK2 knockdown had the opposite effect. In addition, ROCK2 knockdown attenuated the effects of mi-R4435-2HG overexpression on cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, mi-R4435-2HG promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of cancer cells in ovarian carcinoma by upregulating ROCK2.
