چکیده

We investigated the mechanisms by which microRNA (miR)-182 promotes apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in human osteosarcoma (OS) cells. Levels of miR-182 and Homeobox A9 (HOXA9) expression were compared between human OS and normal cells. Subjects were divided into OS and normal groups. We analyzed the target relationship of miR-182 and Homeobox A9 (HOXA9). Cells were then assigned into blank, negative control, miR-182 mimics, miR-182 inhibitors, siRNA-HOXA9, or and miR-182 inhibitors + siRNA-HOXA9 groups. Cell function was assayed by CCK-8, flow cytometry and wound healing assay. Additionally, we analyzed OS tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. Dual-luciferase reporter assays indicated miR-182 directly targets HOXA9. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR and western blotting revealed elevated expression of miR-182, WIF-1, BIM, and Bax, and reduced expression of HOXA9, Wnt, β-catenin, Survivin, Cyclin D1, c-Myc, Mcl-1, Bcl-xL, and Snail in osteosarcoma cells treated with miR-182 mimic or siRNA-HOXA9 as compared to controls. Osteosarcoma cells also exhibited decreased cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth, and increased apoptosis when treated with miR-182 mimic or siRNA-HOXA9. Correspondingly, in a xenograft mouse model, osteosarcoma tumor volume and growth were increased when cells were treated with miR-182 inhibitor and decreased by miR-182 mimic or siRNA-HOXA9. These results indicate that miR-182 downregulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling, inhibits cell proliferation, and promotes apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells by suppressing HOXA9 expression.

Activation of Wnt signaling reduces high-glucose mediated damages on skin fibroblast cells

Objective(s): High-glucose (HG) stress, a mimic of diabetes mellitus (DM) in culture cells, alters expression of a large number of genes including Wnt and NF-κB signaling-related genes; however, the role of Wnt signaling during HG-mediated fibroblast damage and the relationship between Wnt and NF-κB signaling have not been understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ffects of Wnt sig...

Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (betatrophin) may inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma through suppressing of the Wnt signaling pathway

Objective(s): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading fatal neoplasms and the most common primary liver malignancy worldwide. Peptide hormone ANGPTL8 (betatrophin) may act as an important regulator in HCC development through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We aimed to evaluate the effects of recombinant ANGPTL8 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human liver carcinom...

The Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Rat Primordial Germ Cells Reprogramming and Induction into Pluripotent State

 Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are unipotent precursors of the gametes. PGCs can give rise to a type of pluripotent stem cells in vitro that are called embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs can also acquire such pluripotency in vivo and generate teratomas. Under specific culture conditions, PGCs can be reprogrammed to embryonic germ cells which are capable of expression of key pluripotency marker...
