Cervical cancer is still a serious threat to women's health and life safety worldwide, and new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Accumulating evidences also imply that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle. We found that the expression of lncOGFRP1 in cervical cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal cervical tissues (P < .05). Further, CCK8 detection found when lncOGFRP1 was silenced, the proliferation of cells was inhibited. After depleting lncOGFRP1, the proportion of apoptosis cells in C33A (3.71 +/- 0.38% VS 11.98 +/- 1.26%, P < .05) and SiHa (0.69 +/- 0.06% VS 11.06 +/- 1.03%, P < .05) cells increased significantly, and cell cycle was arrested in S phase. On the other hand, migration detection found the migration of cells also was hindered when lncOGFRP1 level was reduced. And the depletion of lncOGFRP1 inhibited the expression of beta-catenin, Vimentin, N-cadherin, and SNAIL and promoted the expression of E-cadherin. In summary, we first discovered the high expression of lncOGFRP1 in cervical cancer and revealed that silencing lncOGFRP1 inhibits the proliferation and migration of cervical carcinoma cells. Significance of the study We first discovered the high expression of lncOGFRP1 in cervical cancer and revealed that silencing lncOGFRP1 inhibits the proliferation and migration of cervical carcinoma cells. These results help to better understand the pathogenesis and development of cervical cancer and provide insight to develop better diagnosis and treatment strategies.
