MicroRNA-509-3p inhibits cellular migration, invasion, and proliferation, and sensitizes osteosarcoma to cisplatin.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary pediatric malignancy of the bone having poor prognosis and long-term survival rates of less than 30% in patients with metastasis. MicroRNA-509 was reported to be downregulated in OS. We and others previously published that miR-509-3p can strongly attenuate cellular migration/invasion and sensitize ovarian cancer to cisplatin. Here, we show that overexpression of miR-509-3p inhibited migration of primary OS cell lines U2OS, HOS, and SaOS2 as well as metastatic derivatives 143B and LM7. miR-509-3p overexpression also inhibited proliferation and invasion of HOS and 143B cells and sensitized cells to cisplatin. Luciferase reporter assays using 3'-UTRs of predicted miR-509-3p targets associated with metastatic phenotypes revealed ARHGAP1 could be one of the downstream effectors of miR-509-3p in HOS. To find the global impact of miR-509-3p overexpression and cisplatin treatment we performed Reverse Phase Protein Analysis (RPPA). AXL, which has been reported to play a critical role in cisplatin resistance and confirmed as direct target of miR-509-3p was downregulated upon miR-509-3p treatment and further down-regulated upon miR-509-3p + cisplatin treatment. We propose that the miR-509-3p/AXL and miR-509-3p/ARHGAP1 axes have the potential to uncover new druggable targets for the treatment of drug resistant metastatic osteosarcoma.

Project description:Circular RNA is an innovative kind of endogenous non-coding RNA, which could take part in tumorigenesis. Nonetheless, the potential molecular mechanisms of circVRK1 in the progression of osteosarcoma remain unresolved. In the current study, we initially investigated circVRK1 levels in osteosarcoma clinical samples and cell lines by qRT-PCR analysis and northern blot assay. RNase R treatments, RNA stability assay and nucleoplasmic separation assay were conducted to identify the characteristics of circVRK1. We adopted CCK-8, colony formation, wound-healing, and transwell assays to assess the biological effects of circVRK1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. We then constructed a xenograft model in nude mice to confirm the suppressive role of circVRK1 in vivo. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assays were utilized to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms mediated by circVRK1. We demonstrated that circVRK1 was a stable circular transcript localized in the cytoplasm of osteosarcoma cells, and the down-regulation of circVRK1 in osteosarcoma tissues was related to poor outcome of patients. Meanwhile, over-expressed circVRK1 obviously restrained the growth, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circVRK1 was assumed to be a microRNA sponge for miR-337-3p, and ZNF652 was the downstream gene of miR-337-3p. CircVRK1 overexpression or miR-337-3p knockdown accelerated ZNF652 expression, and up-regulated miR-337-3p efficiently abolished the promotion of ZNF652 induced by circVRK1. Moreover, rescue experiments have proved that circVRK1 inhibits the progression of osteosarcoma by modulating the miR-337-3p/ZNF652 axis. Therefore, we conclude that circVRK1 promotes ZNF652 expression by sponging miR-337-3p. CircVRK1 serves as a molecule sponge for miR-337-3p and mediates the ceRNA network to promote the expression of ZNF652, thus suppresses osteosarcoma proliferation, migration and invasion.
