Micro RNAs (miRs) have been implicated in various tumorigenic processes. Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone malignancy seen in adolescents. However, the mechanism of miRs in OS has not been fully demonstrated yet. Here, miR-134-5p was found to inhibit OS progression and was also expressed at significantly lower levels in OS tissues and cells relative to normal controls. miR-134-5p was found to reduce vasculogenic mimicry, proliferation, invasion, and migration of OS cells, with miR-134-5p knockdown having the opposite effects. Mechanistically, miR-134-5p inhibited expression of the ITGB1/MMP2/PI3K/Akt axis, thus reducing the malignant features of OS cells. In summary, miR-134-5p reduced OS tumorigenesis by modulation of the ITGB1/MMP2/PI3K/Akt axis, suggesting the potential for using miR-134-5p as a target for treating OS.
微小RNA(miR)已被证明参与多种肿瘤发生过程。骨肉瘤(OS)是青少年中常见的原发性骨恶性肿瘤。然而,miR在骨肉瘤中的作用机制尚未完全阐明。在本研究中,我们发现miR-134-5p能够抑制骨肉瘤进展,并且在骨肉瘤组织和细胞中的表达水平相对于正常对照显著降低。研究发现,miR-134-5p能够减少骨肉瘤细胞的血管生成拟态、增殖、侵袭和迁移,而敲低miR-134-5p则会产生相反的效果。机制上,miR-134-5p抑制ITGB1/MMP2/PI3K/Akt信号轴的表达,从而降低骨肉瘤细胞的恶性特征。综上所述,miR-134-5p通过调节ITGB1/MMP2/PI3K/Akt信号轴减少骨肉瘤的肿瘤发生,提示miR-134-5p有可能作为治疗骨肉瘤的靶点。
