چکیده

BACKGROUND/AIMS Mounting evidence has shown that aberrant expression of miRNAs correlates with human cancers, and that miRNAs can function as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Here, we investigated the role and mechanism of miR-142-3p in human osteosarcoma. METHODS We used quantitative real-time RT-PCR to measure the expression of miR-142-3p in human osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues. The roles of miR-142-3p in osteosarcoma development were studied using cultured HOS, MG63 and Saos-2 cells and tumor xenograft analyses in nude mice; their target genes were also investigated. RESULTS We found that miR-142-3p was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma cell lines and clinical specimens. Overexpression of miR-142-3p suppressed osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas miR-142-3p knockdown increased these parameters. The xenograft mouse model also revealed the suppressive effect of miR-142-3p on tumor growth. High mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1) was identified as a target of miR-142-3p. Downregulation of HMGA1 induced effects on osteosarcoma cell lines similar to those induced by miR-142-3p. In contrast, restoration of HMGA1 abrogated the effects induced by miR-142-3p up-regulation. CONCLUSION These results indicated that miR-142-3p may function as a tumor suppressor by targeting HMGA1 in osteosarcoma.

MiR-142-3p functions as a potential tumor suppressor directly targeting HMGB1 in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

BACKGROUND microRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in cancer development and progression by regulating the expression of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Previous study using microarrays demonstrated that miR-142-3p was downregulated in patients with Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, the functional role of miR-142-3p in NSCLC is still unclear. MATERIAL AND METHOD Real-tim...

MiR‐409‐3p regulates cell proliferation and tumor growth by targeting E74‐like factor 2 in osteosarcoma

Recent evidence has shown that miR-409-3p was down-regulated in several types of cancer, including osteosarcoma. However, the potential role of miR-409-3p in osteosarcoma remains largely unknown. In the present study, we showed that overexpression of miR-409-3p in osteosarcoma cells inhibited cell proliferation in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo, and the restoration of miR-409-3p prom...

miR-34c-3p acts as a tumor suppressor gene in osteosarcoma by targeting MARCKS

Previous studies have demonstrated that microRNA (miR)‑34c‑3p is important in human cancer progression. However, the function of miR‑34c‑3p in osteosarcoma (OS) remains to be elucidated. In the present study, miR‑34c‑3p level was measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction in OS tissues and the associated prognostic value for overall survival was determined. The fun...

Interleukin (IL)-24, a novel tumor suppressor/cytokine exhibits antitumor activity against a broad-spectrum of human cancer cells. In a recent study, we showed that IL-24 inhibited AKT in lung cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism of AKT inhibition by IL-24 remains elusive.The high mobility group (HMG) A1 a member of the non-histone chromosomal proteins and commonly referred to as arch...
