Effect of tumor-associated macrophages on lncRNA PURPL/miR-363/PDZD2 axis in osteosarcoma cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to participate in osteosarcoma (OS) progression. As demonstrated in our previous research, miR-363 played a tumor inhibitory effect in OS cells via lowering the PDZ domain containing 2 (PDZD2) expression. The regulatory roles of TAMs on miR-363/PDZD2 and the internal mechanism relating to long noncoding RNA p53 upregulated regulator of P53 levels (lncRNA PURPL) are examined in this study. TAM-like macrophages were formed by inducing CD14+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The TAMs migration was detected after MG-63 cells transfected with miR-363 mimics or inhibitors. We then analyzed the regulatory activity of PURPL on miR-363 expression. We also tested the influences of PURPL overexpression/knockdown on MG-63 cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as well as TAMs migration. Silence in PDZD2 expression was used to confirm the effects of PURPL on MG-63 cells. We successfully induced TAM-like macrophages. MG-63 cells transfecting miR-363 mimics suppressed TAMs migration while transfecting a converse effect was seen in miR-363 inhibitor. TAMs raised PURPL expression in MG-63 cells, which was an upstream regulator of miR-363. Along with TAMs migration, PURPL overexpression promoted MG-63 cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT. An opposite influence was seen due to the PURPL knockdown. The silence of PDZD2 weakened the influences of PURPL overexpression on MG-63 cells and TAMs migration. On modulating the PURPL/miR-363/PDZD2 axis, TAMs-promoted OS development might be achieved.
