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:BackgroundmicroRNA-627-5p (miR-627-5p) dysregulation has been observed in several cancer types, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, and gastric cancer. The biological function of miR-627-5p in colorectal cancer (CRC) growth and metastasis is yet unclear.AimTo investigate the effects of miR-627-5p on the malignant biological properties of colorectal malignant tumour cells by targeting Wnt2.MethodsThe levels of miR-627-5p in colorectal tumour tissues were assessed in Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. In order to identify Wnt2 transcript expression in CRC tissues, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was used. Luciferase reporter tests were used to explore whether miR-627-5p might potentially target Wnt2. Wnt2 transcript and protein levels were detected in CRC cells with high miR-627-5p expression. To learn more about how miR-627-5p affects CRC development, migration, apoptosis, and invasion, functional experiments were conducted. Cotransfection with the overexpression vector of Wnt2 and miR-627-5p mimics was utilized to verify whether overexpression of Wnt2 could cancel the impact of miR-627-5p in CRC. Western blot and qRT-PCR were conducted to investigate the effects of miR-627-5p on the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.ResultsmiR-627-5p was notably decreased in colorectal tumour tissues, while the gene level of Wnt2 was notably upregulated. A dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-627-5p specifically targets the 3'-untranslated regions of Wnt2 and miR-627-5p upregulation markedly reduced the protein and gene expression of Wnt2 in CRC cells. In vitro gain-of-function assays displayed that miR-627-5p overexpression decreased CRC cells' capabilities to invade, move, and remain viable while increasing apoptosis. Wnt2 overexpression could reverse the suppressive functions of miR-627-5p. Moreover, upregulation of miR-627-5p suppressed the transcript and protein levels of the downstream target factors in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling, such as c-myc, CD44, β-catenin, and cyclinD1.ConclusionmiR-627-5p acts as a critical inhibitory factor in CRC, possibly by directly targeting Wnt2 and negatively modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling, revealing that miR-627-5p could be a possible treatment target for CRC.
