MicroRNA-629-5p promotes osteosarcoma proliferation and migration by targeting caveolin 1.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor that occurs in the bone. Previous studies have shown that multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the development of osteosarcoma. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-629-5p and its target gene, caveolin 1 (CAV1), in osteosarcoma development. To analyze the expression of miR-629-5p and CAV1 mRNA in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, qRT-PCR analysis was performed. Dual-luciferase reporter experiments were subsequently performed to validate the relationship between CAV1 and miR-629-5p. CCK8 assay was used to measure osteosarcoma cell proliferation, and wound-healing assay was performed to study their migratory phenotype. Our findings revealed that miR-629-5p was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cells, and thereby enhanced cell proliferation and migration. Further, we validated that miR-629-5p targets CAV1 mRNA directly. CAV1 expression, which was negatively correlated with miR-629-5p expression, was found to be downregulated in osteosarcoma tissue samples. Moreover, our data showed that an increase in CAV1 level led to a decline in osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration, which could be rescued by miR-629-5p upregulation. Overall, our study confirmed that miR-629-5p promoted osteosarcoma proliferation and migration by directly inhibiting CAV1.

Project description:BackgroundStudies of aberrantly expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) can provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of osteosarcoma (OS). However, the role of circ_0001174 in OS progression remains unknown. This study is aimed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in patients with OS and to investigate potential regulatory ways of circ_0001174.MethodsHigh-throughput sequencing was performed to screen aberrantly expressed circRNAs and mRNAs between tumor and paracancerous tissues from patients with OS. Several bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the functions and pathways of the differentially expressed genes between the tissues. Cell counting kit-8, cell migration and invasion assays were performed to evaluate the functions of the critical circRNAs. RNA interference experiments, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting were used to explore the relationship between miR-186-5p and circ_0001174 or metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1).ResultsCompared with the paracancerous tissues, 109 circRNAs and 1264 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the OS tissues, including 88 circRNAs and 707 mRNAs that were upregulated and 21 circRNAs and 557 mRNAs that were downregulated. The expression of four upregulated and four downregulated circRNAs was validated using RT-qPCR; the results were consistent with the sequencing data, and circ_0001174 was found to be significantly upregulated in 16 pairs of OS tissues and OS cell lines (fold change > 2.0, P value < 0.05). Knockdown of circ_0001174 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells. Additionally, circ_0001174 directly and negatively modulated the expression of miR-186-5p and positively regulated the expression of MACC1.ConclusionsAbnormally high expression of circ_0001174 may promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells through up-regulating MACC1 by sponging miR-186-5p. These results provide insight into therapeutic targets for preventing and treating OS.
