Dysregulation of miRNAs is a common feature in human cancers, and miR-140-5p has been found to be down-regulated in cancer. However its role in ovarian cancer remains unclear. miR-140-5p was underexpressed in HCC tissues and cell lines compared with their normal controls. Additionally, PDGFRA was predicted the target gene of miR-140-5p. PDGFRA was inversely correlated with the expression of miR-140-5p in ovarian cancer cells. Importantly, we demonstrate that the over expression of miR-140-5p significantly inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. Our results suggest the existence of a novel miR-140-5p-PDGFRA pathway and indicate that miR-140-5p acts as a tumor suppressor during ovarian carcinogenesis. These results may provide a promising alterative strategy for the therapeutic treatment of ovarian cancer.
