Circular RNAs (circRNAs) indicated potential modulating effects in tumor development. However, the specific role of circ_0000554 in ovarian tumor remains unknown. We found that circ_0000554 was overexpressed in ovarian tumor specimens and cells. Forced expression of circ_0000554 promoted cell growth, invasion, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). We illustrated that miR-567 was downregulated in ovarian tumor specimens and cells. circ_0000554 was negatively correlated with miR-567 in ovarian tumor specimens. circ_0000554 sponged miR-567 expression in ovarian tumor. RIP assay showed that elevated expression of miR-567 could be enriched with circ_0000554. Luciferase reporter assay indicated that luciferase intensity was inhibited after treated with miR-567 mimic; however, the luciferase value of mut type was not decreased. Elevated expression of circ_0000554 suppressed miR-567 expression in HO8910 cell. circ_0000554 promoted ovarian tumor cell growth, invasion, and EMT via sponging miR-567. It suggested that circ_0000554 represent a potential therapy target for ovarian tumor.
