Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant cancer of bone that occurs in adolescents and children. Mounting number of studies have indicated that miRNAs are increasingly playing fundamental roles in OS development. Thus, the biological function of miR-429 in OS progression was explored. The results of RT-qPCR revealed that miR-429 was downregulated in OS tissues and OS cell lines (MG-63, U2OS, Saos-2) while homeobox A9 (HOXA9) was markedly increased. Moreover, HOXA9 was confirmed as a direct target of miR-429 by using luciferase reporter assay. It was identified that miR-429 exhibited a suppressive effect on OS progression while HOXA9 showed the oncogenic function in OS progression by using MTT and Transwell assays. More importantly, rescue assays manifested that HOXA9 can partially overturn the suppressive effect of miR-429 on OS. Overexpression of miR-429 inhibited the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-429 suppressed OS progression by targeting HOXA9 through Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
骨肉瘤(OS)是青少年和儿童中最常被诊断出的原发性恶性骨肿瘤。越来越多的研究表明,微小RNA(miRNA)在骨肉瘤的发生发展中发挥着重要作用。因此,本研究探讨了miR-429在骨肉瘤进展中的生物学功能。RT-qPCR结果显示,miR-429在骨肉瘤组织和骨肉瘤细胞系(MG-63、U2OS、Saos-2)中表达下调,而同源框A9(HOXA9)表达显著上调。此外,荧光素酶报告基因实验证实HOXA9是miR-429的直接靶点。MTT实验和Transwell实验结果表明,miR-429对骨肉瘤进展具有抑制作用,而HOXA9则发挥致癌作用。更重要的是,挽救实验表明HOXA9可部分逆转miR-429对骨肉瘤的抑制作用。miR-429过表达抑制了Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路的激活。综上所述,miR-429通过靶向HOXA9调控Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路,从而抑制骨肉瘤进展。
