MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been documented to function differently in numerous human cancers. Our study planned to investigate the role of microRNA-140 (miR-140) and to identify its possible target in osteosarcoma (OS) to predict their mechanism in OS. The miR-140 was down-regulated in OS, and its high expression decreased MG63 cell proliferation. At the molecular level, Wnt1 was a target of miR-140, and its expression could be suppressed by miR-140. Besides, miR-140 overexpression decreased drug resistance in OS cells treated by doxorubicin. Collectively, overexpression of miR-140 may inhibit human OS cell proliferation and may enhance drug sensitivity by direct regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)在许多人类癌症中发挥着不同的功能。我们的研究计划探讨 microRNA-140(miR-140)的作用,并确定其在骨肉瘤(OS)中的可能靶点,以预测其在 OS 中的机制。miR-140 在 OS 中下调,其高表达可降低 MG63 细胞的增殖。在分子水平上,Wnt1 是 miR-140 的靶标,其表达可被 miR-140 抑制。此外,miR-140 的过表达可降低阿霉素处理的 OS 细胞的耐药性。总之,miR-140 的过表达可能通过直接调节 Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路抑制人骨肉瘤细胞的增殖,并增强药物敏感性。
