ABSTRACT: Background
As a common malignant bone sarcoma, osteosarcoma (OS) affects the health and lives of many people. Here, we probed the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) and microRNA-758 (miR-758) on OS metastasis, and examined possible downstream effector.Methods
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expressions of XIST and miR-758 in OS tissues and cells. Cell transfection was carried out to alter the levels of XIST and miR-758 in OS cells, and cell viability, migration, and invasion were assessed. Subsequently, qRT-PCR and a dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to analyze the regulatory effects of XIST on miR-758 and miR-758 on Rab16. Finally, we investigated whether Rab16 was the downstream effector of XIST/miR-758 axis.Results
XIST was highly expressed in OS tissues and cells, but the opposite was seen for miR-758. In OS cells, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) was promoted by overexpression of XIST and miR-758 inhibitor, but were inhibited by XIST knockdown and miR-758 mimics. XIST regulated miR-758 expression, and miR-758 regulated Rab16 expression in OS cells. Overexpression of Rab16 reversed the effects of miR-758 mimics on OS cell migration and invasion.Conclusions
XIST contributed to OS cell migration, invasion, and EMT via regulation of miR-758/Rab16.
