However, the functions of SNHG20 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are not well established. The aim of the present study was to investigate SNHG20 clinical significance and its underlying mechanism in proliferation and metastasis in EOC. The expression level of SNHG20 was identified via in situ hybridization (ISH) and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). The proliferative and metastatic capacities by silencing SNHG20 expression in A2780 and CAOV-3 cells were measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assays. The molecular mRNA and protein expressions were examined using qRT-PCR, Western blot, and double immunofluorescent staining. SNHG20 expression was markedly higher in serous EOC tissues than that in adjacent tissues and closely correlated with histological grade and lymph node (LN) status. Patients with high SNHG20 showed a shorter overall survival (OS) and SNHG20 was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of serous EOC. Knockdown of SNHG20 remarkably inhibited EOC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, which was associated with dysregulation of P21, Cyclin D1, E-cadherin, and Vimentin. These results suggest that SNHG20 may serve as an independent prognostic predictor and function as a noncoding oncogene in EOC progression, which might be a possible novel diagnostic marker and treatment target.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20182186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]],"date-time":"2019-03-07T19:35:24Z","timestamp":1551987324000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["LncRNA SNHG20 predicts a poor prognosis and promotes cell progression in epithelial ovarian cancer"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1926-9128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dandan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Suzhou, Jiangsu, P.R.
