HOXA10 plays an important role in the body structure and development. Recently, patterns of deregulated HOX expression have been identified in various cancers. Meanwhile, WT1 is closely associated with the HOXA10 gene, which is an inducible transcription factor. We hypothesized that during the process of the ovarian cancer pathogenesis, the HOXA10 promoter CpG hypomethylation coupled with decreased WT1 expression could co-regulate HOXA10 expression. After the treatment of 5-Aza-dC, ovarian cancer cell lines(SKOV-3 and HEY) significantly increased HOXA10 expression. Transfection of HOXA10 siRNA with SKOV-3 and HEY ovarian cancer cell lines significantly downregulated HOXA10 expression but upregulated WT1 expression, compared to the control siRNA transfection. In ovarian cancer samples, the HOXA10 expression is significantly high. Nevertheless, the expression of HOXA10 is low in normal ones(P
