Abstract

In ovarian cancer, metastatic phenotype may impact surgical outcomes. Here, the authors show miR-409-3p regulates FABP4 which can increase metastatic potential of ovarian cancer, and treatment with DOPC nanoliposomes containing either miR-409--3p mimic or FABP4 siRNA inhibits tumor progression in mice.
