Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a pivotal biomarker in the diagnosis of various cancers, including bladder cancer (BCa). Despite their significance, the low abundance of miRNA presents a substantial challenge for sensitive and reliable detection. We introduce an innovative, highly sensitive assay for miRNA expression quantification that is both enzyme-free and portable. This method leverages the synergy of target recycling and entropy-driven assembly (EDA) for enhanced sensitivity and specificity. The proposed method possesses several advantages, including i) dual signal amplification through target recycling and EDA, which significantly boosts sensitivity with a lower limit of detection of 2.54 fM; ii) elimination of enzyme requirements, resulting in a cost-effective and stable signal amplification process; and iii) utilization of a personal glucose meter (PGM) for signal recording, rendering the method portable and adaptable to diverse settings. In summary, this PGM-based approach holds promising potential for clinical molecular diagnostics, offering a practical and efficient solution for miRNA analysis in cancer detection.

Abstract
Allograft rejection is a widespread complication in allograft recipients with chronic kidney disease. Undertreatment of subclinical and clinical rejection and later post-transplant problems are caused by an imperfect understanding of the mechanisms at play and a lack of adequate diagnostic tools. Many different biomarkers have been analyzed and proposed to detect and monitor these crucial events in transplant outcomes. In this sense, microRNAs may help diagnose rejection or tolerance and indicate appropriate treatment, especially in patients with chronic allograft rejection. As key epigenetic regulators of physiological homeostasis, microRNAs have therapeutic potential and may indicate allograft tolerance or rejection. However, more evidence and clinical validation are indispensable before microRNAs are ready for clinical prime time.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded RNAs belonging to a class of non-coding RNAs with an average length of 18-22 nucleotides. Although not able to encode any protein, miRNAs are vastly studied and found to play role in various human physiologic as well as pathological conditions. A huge number of miRNAs have been identified in human cells whose expression is straightly regulated with crucial biological functions, while this number is constantly increasing. miRNAs are particularly studied in cancers, where they either can act with oncogenic function (oncomiRs) or tumor-suppressors role (referred as tumor-suppressor/oncorepressor miRNAs). miR-382 is a well-studied miRNA, which is revealed to play regulatory roles in physiological processes like osteogenic differentiation, hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and normal hematopoiesis, and liver progenitor cell differentiation. Notably, miR-382 deregulation is reported in pathologic conditions, such as renal fibrosis, muscular dystrophies, Rett syndrome, epidural fibrosis, atrial fibrillation, amelogenesis imperfecta, oxidative stress, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication, and various types of cancers. The majority of oncogenesis studies have claimed miR-382 downregulation in cancers and suppressor impact on malignant phenotype of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, while a few studies suggest opposite findings. Given the putative role of this miRNA in regulation of oncogenesis, assessment of miR-382 expression is suggested in a several clinical investigations as a prognostic/diagnostic biomarker for cancer patients. In this review, we have an overview to recent studies evaluated the role of miR-382 in oncogenesis as well as its clinical potential.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 promotes osteosarcoma progression by regulating tumor-derived exosomal miRNA hsa-miR-23a-3p. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1194094. [PMID: 37284323 PMCID: PMC10239870 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1194094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor originating in bone. Immunosuppressive enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) participates in tumor immune tolerance and promotes tumor progression, while the study of IDO1 in OS is limited. Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed to test the expression of IDO1 and Ki67. The relationship between IDO1 or Ki67 positive count and clinical stage of the patient was analyzed. Laboratory test indexes including serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein (CRP) at diagnosis of OS patients were collected. The relationship between positive count of IDO1 and Ki67 or laboratory test indexes was analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis. IDO1 stably overexpressed cell lines of these cells (MG63 OE, 143B OE and hFOB1.19 OE) were constructed and validated by Western blot and Elisa. Exosomes were isolated from conditioned culture media of these cells and were identified by Zetaview nanoparticle tracking analyzer. Next-generation sequencing was conducted to identify miRNAs enriched in exosomes. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE miRNAs) were verified in clinical samples and cell lines by qPCR. Biological processes and cell components analysis of DE miRNAs was conducted by GO enrichment analysis using the protein interaction network database. Results: Immunosuppressive enzyme IDO1 was highly expressed in tumor tissues. 66.7% (6/9) of the tissues showed moderately or strongly positive immunostaining signal of IDO1, and 33.3% (3/9) were weakly positive. The expression of IDO1 was positively related to Ki67 and associated with prognostic-related clinical features of OS patients. Overexpression of IDO1 significantly affected the exosome-derived miRNA subsets from MG63, 143B and hFOB1.19 cells. A total of 1244 DE miRNAs were identified, and hsa-miR-23a-3p was further screened as key DE miRNA involved in the progression of OS. GO analysis of target genes of the DE miRNA results showed that target enrichment in the functions of immune regulation and tumor progression. Discussion: Our results indicate that IDO1 has the potential to promote the progression of OS that is related to miRNAs mediated tumor immunity. Targeting IDO1-mediated hsa-miR-23a-3p may be a potential therapeutic strategy for OS treatment.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short, highly conserved non-coding RNA, influence gene expression by sequential mechanisms such as mRNA breakdown or translational repression. Many biological processes depend on these regulating substances, thus changes in their expression have an impact on the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and result in the emergence of a variety of diseases. Relevant studies have shown in recent years that miRNAs are involved in many stages of bone development and growth. Additionally, abnormal production of miRNA in bone tissues has been closely associated with the development of numerous bone disorders, such as osteonecrosis, bone cancer, and bone metastases. Many pathological processes, including bone loss, metastasis, the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells, and differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are under the control of miRNAs. By bringing together the most up-to-date information on the clinical relevance of miRNAs in such diseases, this study hopes to further the study of the biological features of miRNAs in bone disorders and explore their potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant tumor of bone characterized by the formation of bone tissue or immature bone by tumor cells. Because of its multi-drug resistance, even with the improvement of chemotherapy and the use of targeted drugs, the survival rate of osteosarcoma (OS) is still less than 60%, and it is easy to metastasize, which is a difficulty for many clinicians and researchers. In recent years, with the continuous research on exosomes, it has been found that exosomes play a role in the diagnosis, treatment and chemotherapy resistance of osteosarcoma due to their unique properties. Exosomes can reduce the intracellular accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs by mediating drug efflux, thus inducing chemotherapeutic resistance in OS cells. Exosomal goods (including miRNA and functional proteins) carried by exosomes also show great potential in affecting the drug resistance of OS. In addition, miRNA carried by exosomes and exosomes exist widely in tumor cells and can reflect the characteristics of parent cells, so it can also be used as a biomarker of OS. At the same time, the development of nanomedicine has given a new hope for the treatment of OS. Exosomes are regarded as good natural nano-carriers by researchers because of their excellent targeted transport capacity and low toxicity, which will play an important role in the field of OS therapy in the future. This paper reviews the internal relationship between exosomes and OS chemotherapy resistance, discusses the broad prospects of exosomes in the field of diagnosis and treatment of OS, and puts forward some suggestions for the study of the mechanism of OS chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor arising from bone-forming mesenchymal cells in children and adolescents. Despite efforts to understand the biology of the disease and identify novel therapeutics, the survival of osteosarcoma patients remains dismal. We have concurrently profiled the copy number and gene expression of 226 osteosarcoma samples as part of the Strategic Partnering to Evaluate Cancer Signatures (SPECS) initiative. Our results demonstrate the heterogeneous landscape of osteosarcoma in younger populations by showing the presence of genome-wide copy number abnormalities occurring both recurrently among samples and in a high frequency. Insulin growth factor receptor 1 (IGF1R) is a receptor tyrosine kinase which binds IGF1 and IGF2 to activate downstream pathways involved in cell apoptosis and proliferation. We identify prevalent amplification of IGF1R corresponding with increased gene expression in patients with poor survival outcomes. Our results substantiate previously tenuously associated copy number abnormalities identified in smaller datasets (13q34+, 20p13+, 4q35-, 20q13.33-), and indicate the significance of high fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) expression in distinguishing patients with poor prognosis. FGFR2 is involved in cellular proliferation processes such as division, growth and angiogenesis. In summary, our findings demonstrate the prognostic significance of several genes associated with osteosarcoma pathogenesis.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of malignant bone tumor, occurring in adolescents and patients over 60. It has a bimodal onset and a poor prognosis, and its development has not yet been fully explained. Osteopontin (OPN) is a high protein consisting of 314 amino acid residues with a negative charge and is involved in many biological activities. OPN is not only an essential part of the regulation of the nervous system and endocrine metabolism of skeletal cells. Still, it is also involved in several other important biological activities, such as the division, transformation, and proliferation of skeletal cells and their associated cells, such as bone tumor cells, including bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts and osteocytes. Recent studies have shown a strong correlation between OPN and the development and progression of many skeletal diseases, such as osteosarcoma and rheumatoid arthritis. This review aims to understand the mechanisms and advances in the role of OPN as a factor in the development, progression, metastasis, and prognosis of osteosarcoma in an attempt to provide a comprehensive summary of the mechanisms by which OPN regulates osteosarcoma progression and in the hope of contributing to the advancement of osteosarcoma research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is regarded as one of the most deadly and mirthless diseases and it develops due to the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. To date, varieties of traditional medications and chemotherapies have been utilized to fight tumors. However, their immense drawbacks, such as reduced bioavailability, insufficient supply, and significant adverse effects, make their use limited. Nanotechnology has evolved rapidly in recent years and offers a wide spectrum of applications in the healthcare sectors. Nanoscale materials offer strong potential for curing cancer as they pose low risk and fewer complications. Several metal oxide NPs are being developed to diagnose or treat malignancies, but zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have remarkably demonstrated their potential in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancers due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and unique physico-chemical attributes. ZnO NPs showed cancer cell specific toxicity via generation of reactive oxygen species and destruction of mitochondrial membrane potential, which leads to the activation of caspase cascades followed by apoptosis of cancerous cells. ZnO NPs have also been used as an effective carrier for targeted and sustained delivery of various plant bioactive and chemotherapeutic anticancerous drugs into tumor cells. In this review, at first we have discussed the role of ZnO NPs in diagnosis and bio-imaging of cancer cells. Secondly, we have extensively reviewed the capability of ZnO NPs as carriers of anticancerous drugs for targeted drug delivery into tumor cells, with a special focus on surface functionalization, drug-loading mechanism, and stimuli-responsive controlled release of drugs. Finally, we have critically discussed the anticancerous activity of ZnO NPs on different types of cancers along with their mode of actions. Furthermore, this review also highlights the limitations and future prospects of ZnO NPs in cancer theranostic.

[PMID: 34481813 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is an adolescent and young adult malignancy that mostly occurs in long bones. The treatment of OS is still a big challenge for clinicians due to increasing chemoresistance, and many efforts are being made today to find more beneficial treatments. In this regard, the use of microRNAs has shown a high capacity to develop promising therapies. By targeting cancer-involved signaling pathways, microRNAs reduce the cellular level of these protein pathways; thereby reducing the growth and invasion of tumors, and even leading cancer cells to apoptosis. One of these oncogenic pathways that play an important role in OS development and can be targeted by microRNAs is the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Hence, the first goal of this review article is to explain the cross-talk of microRNAs and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling in OS and then discussing recent findings of the use of microRNAs as a therapeutic approach in OS.

Bosn J Basic Med Sci 2021; 21:163-173. [PMID: 32020849 PMCID: PMC7982073 DOI: 10.17305/bjbms.2020.4485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Accepted: 12/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The transforming growth factor alpha (TGFA) gene is involved in the proliferation and metastasis of various tumors, but its role in cell sensitivity to cisplatin chemotherapy is unclear. In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying inhibitory effects of cisplatin on growth and proliferation of osteosarcoma cells. Osteosarcoma and normal skeletal muscle tissues were collected from 26 patients by biopsy. TGFA was silenced or overexpressed in Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells by transfection with TGFA-shRNA or TGFA ORF clone, respectively. MiR-376c was inhibited or overexpressed by transfection of Saos-2 cells with miR-376c sponge or miR-376c mimics, respectively. Cell growth was analyzed by MTT assay and cell proliferation by BrdU assay. MiR-376c and TGFA mRNA expression was detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and TGFA protein expression by Western blot. The target relationship between miR-376c and TGFA was assessed by luciferase reporter assay. Both in osteosarcoma tissues and Saos-2 cells, miR-376c expression was significantly decreased and TGFA mRNA expression was significantly increased compared with control. Transfection of Saos-2 cells with TGFA-shRNA silenced TGFA expression and significantly inhibited cell growth and proliferation. TGFA mRNA and protein expression in Saos-2 cells significantly decreased with increasing cisplatin concentrations (2.5–10 mg/L). Transfection with TGFA ORF clone reversed the inhibitory effects of cisplatin on Saos-2 cell proliferation. Compared with cisplatin (10 mg/L) treatment alone, the combined treatment with cisplatin and miR-376c mimics inhibited the proliferation of Saos-2 cells more significantly. MiR-376c suppressed TGFA expression by directly interacting with its 3’ UTR region. Overall, cisplatin inhibited the proliferation of Saos-2 cells by upregulating miR-376c and downregulating TGFA expression.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of bone in humans and animals. Comparative oncology is a field of study that examines the cancer risk and tumor progression across the species. The canine model is ideally suited for translational cancer research. The biological and clinical characteristics of human and canine OS are common to hypothesize as that several living and environmental common conditions shared between the two species can influence some etiopathogenetic mechanisms, for which the canine species represents an important model of comparison with the human species. In the canine and human species, osteosarcoma is the tumor of bone with the highest frequency, with a value of about 80–85% (in respect to all other bone tumors), a high degree of invasiveness, and a high rate of metastasis and malignancy. Humans and dogs have many genetic and biomolecular similarities such as alterations in the expression of p53 and in some types of microRNAs that our working group has already described previously in several separate works. In this paper, we report and collect new comparative biomolecular features of osteosarcoma in dogs and humans, which may represent an innovative update on the biomolecular profile of this tumor.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare malignancy of bone associated with poor clinical outcomes. The antitumor effects of GANT61 on OS is unclear. To investigate antitumor effects and mechanism of GANT61 in OS cells and xenograft model. Effects of GANT61 on cell viability, clone formation, cell cycle, apoptosis, migration, and invasion ability of OS cells were assessed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels measured by dichlorofluorescein fluorescence were used to evaluate oxidative stress. The Xenograft model was constructed to investigate the antitumor effects of GANT61 in vivo. The microRNA (miRNA)-1286 was downregulated, while RAB31 upregulated in OS tissues and cells. GANT61 inhibited viability, migration, and invasion ability of OS cells (SaOS-2 and U2OS), and induced apoptosis and the ROS production, along with miRNA-1286 upregulation and RAB13 downregulation. After knockdown of miRNA-1286, GANT6-induced cell inhibition was attenuated, along with RAB31 upregulation. Inversely, miRNA-1286 overexpression downregulated RAB31. Dual-luciferase reporter assay verified that miR-1286 negatively targeted RAB13. Moreover, the knockdown of RAB31 stimulated apoptosis and ROS production while inhibited viability, migration, and invasion of GANT61-treated cells. In vivo experiments further confirmed that GANT61 inhibited tumor growth and RAB13 expression, but enhanced miRNA-1286. The study demonstrated that GANT61 inhibited cell aggressive phenotype and tumor growth by inducing oxidative stress through the miRNA-1286/RAB31 axis. Our findings provided a potential antitumor agent for the OS clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background/aim Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy that occurs frequently in children and adolescents. Baicalein, a flavonoid that has attracted great attention in recent years with its strong antitumor activity, shows a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical effects.MicroRNAs have been found to be involved in many critical processes in cancers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of baicalein and miR-25 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway of osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2. Materials and methods Cell viability was assessed, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to study the effects of baicalein on expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-realted genes (β-catenin, GSK-3β, and Axin2) of Saos-2 cells. Results Our results indicated that baicalein can inhibit the proliferation (IC50 value 35 μM), regulate Wnt/β-catenin pathway and also increase miR-25 expression of Saos-2. Baicalein and also miR-25 decreased the expression of β-catenin and Axin2, while increasing the expression of GSK-3β. Down regulation of miR-25 decreased the expression of GSK-3β, while β-catenin and Axin2 expression increased. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that baicalein may target genes related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by regulating miR-25 expression and may be a potential Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor for osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Objective Circular RNA is a newly discovered non-coding RNA. It plays an important role in regulating gene expression, and may take part in tumor progression. This study aimed to investigate the functions of hsa_circ_0008792 in osteosarcoma regulation. Methods We identified a circular RNA, hsa_circ_0008792, by using bioinformatics to analyze the GSE96962 dataset. The capacities of migration and invasion were assessed by wound-healing assay and transwell Matrigel assay. The ratios of G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases in cell cycle and apoptosis were measured using flow cytometry. Results Hsa_circ_0008792 is expressed at low levels in osteosarcoma cells, and up-regulation of hsa_circ_0008792 could suppress osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion and promote apoptosis. This regulation is mediated by hsa-miR-711/ZFP1. The expression level of hsa_circ_0008792 showed no influence on cell cycle of osteosarcoma cells. Conclusion Osteosarcoma is suppressed by hsa_circ_0008792/hsa-miR-711/ZFP1 axis.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is closely related to the dysregulation of various intracellular signaling pathways, especially the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Reportedly, HSP90 was responsible for phospho-Akt stabilization, and both AKT1 and HSP90 were upregulated within osteosarcoma. Herein, we demonstrated that AKT1 and HSP90 mRNA and protein expression were upregulated within osteosarcoma tissues and cells; AKT1 knockdown significantly inhibited OS cell viability. HSP90 knockdown suppressed the phosphorylation of AKT1, decreased ki-67 and Vimentin protein levels, enhanced p21 and E-cadherin protein levels, and inhibited OS cell proliferation and migration; AKT1 overexpression exerted opposing effects and significantly attenuated the effects of HSP90 knockdown. miR-485-5p targeted AKT1 and HSP90 3'-UTR to inhibit AKT1 and HSP90 expression. miR-485-5p overexpression dramatically reduced AKT1, HSP90, and ki-67 proteins, increased E-cadherin protein levels, and inhibited OS cell proliferation and migration. In conclusion, HSP90 knockdown blocked the phosphorylation of AKT1 suppressing the proliferation and migration capacity of OS cells via the PI3K/AKT pathway; miR-485-5p binds to HSP90 and AKT1 in their 3'-UTR to inhibit HSP90 and AKT1 expression, therefore exerting a tumor suppressor function within osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Background: Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most prevalent form of malignant bone cancer and it occurs predominantly in children and adolescents. OSA is associated with a poor prognosis and highest cause of cancer-related death. However, there are a few biomarkers that can serve as reasonable assessments of prognosis. Methods: Gene expression profiling data were downloaded from dataset GSE39058 and GSE21257 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database as well as TARGET database. Bioinformatic analysis with data integration was conducted to discover the significant biomarkers for predicting prognosis. Verification was conducted by qPCR and western blot to measure the expression of genes. Results: 733 seed genes were selected by combining the results of the expression profiling data with hub nodes in a human protein-protein interaction network with their gene functional enrichment categories identified. Following by Cox proportional risk regression modeling, a 2-gene (PML-EPB41) signature was developed for prognostic prediction of patients with OSA. Patients in the high-risk group had significantly poorer survival outcomes than in the low-risk group. Finally, the signature was validated and analyzed by the external dataset along with Kaplan–Meier survival analysis as well as biological experiment. A molecular gene model was built to serve as an innovative predictor of prognosis for patients with OSA. Conclusion: Our findings define novel biomarkers for OSA prognosis, which will possibly aid in the discovery of novel therapeutic targets with clinical applications.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are integrally involved in biological and pathobiological development. Many studies have demonstrated the abnormal expression of microRNA-496 (miR-496) in various human malignant tumors. The present study was designed to investigate the functions and the underlying mechanisms of miR-496 in osteosarcoma (OS) progression. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the expression of miR-496 in OS tissues and cell lines. Luciferase activity was used to confirm the interaction between miR-496 and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a downstream gene of miR-496. RT-qPCR was also used to quantify BDNF mRNA expression, and the BDNF protein expression level was detected by western blot analysis. In addition, the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell viability. The results revealed that the level of miR-496 expression was significantly reduced in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. BDNF was verified to be a direct target gene of miR-496 and was found to be negatively regulated by miR-496. Overall, it was demonstrated that miR-496 inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation via inhibition of BDNF. Thus, the miR-496/BDNF axis may be a novel strategy for the clinical treatment of OS.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miR) serve as oncogenes and tumor suppressors. In a previous study, it was revealed that has-miRNA-429 (miR-429) is a tumor suppressor in 786-O renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. However, its mechanism in RCC remains to be determined. The present study aimed to explain the functional role and mechanism of miR-429 in RCC pathogenesis. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that miR-429 overexpression reduced the transcriptional activity of AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1). Reverse transcripton-quantitative (RT-q) PCR and western blot analysis indicated that the mRNA and protein expression of AKT1 was downregulated in 786-O RCC cell lines when miR-429 was overexpressed, indicating that miR-429 may directly target AKT1 in RCC. Therefore, miR-429 overexpression enhanced the inhibition of tumor size and weight in nude mice in vivo. The current study indicated that the novel miR-429-regulated pathway may provide insights into RCC oncogenesis and metastasis.

Abstract
Background: Lycorine, a natural alkaloid, has been indicated to have various physiological effects, including a potential effect against cancer. However, the anticancer effect of lycorine on osteosarcoma (OS) and the detailed molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of lycorine on human OS and elucidated it underlying mechanisms Materials and methods: In vitro assays, OS cells were treated with lycorine at various concentrations. Then the cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, migration and invasion were assayed to detect the anticancer effect of lycorine on OS cell lines. Western blotting analysis was used to verify the expression of related proteins. In addition, the mouse xenograft model was performed to evaluate lycorine’s therapeutic potential on OS in vivo. Results: The in vitro results demonstrated that lycorine induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest and suppressed the migration and invasion by suppressing constitutive signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation through enhancing the expression of SH2 domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) and downregulating the expression of STAT3 target proteins. Moreover, our mouse xenograft model revealed that lycorine inhibited the tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion: These results demonstrated that the anti-OS effects of lycorine were at least partly due to the suppression of the Janus kinase 2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (JAK2)/STAT3 pathway. Taken together, these results indicate that lycorine possesses the potential to be a promising candidate in clinical therapy for human OS in the future.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone tumor characterized by a high level of genetic instability and recurring DNA deletions and amplifications. This study aims to investigate how microRNA-496 (miR-496) affects proliferation, invasion, and migration of human osteosarcoma (OS) cells and in vivo tumorigenicity by targeting eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). Microarray-based gene expression profiling involving OS was used in order to identify differentially expressed genes. After that, the interaction between miR-496 expression and OS patients' survival rate was determined. The expression pattern of miR-496 and eIF4E was determined in OS tissues and cells, and their potential relationship was further analyzed by using the dual luciferase reporter gene assay. With the purpose of identifying the functional role miR-496 in OS, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were measured in cells treated with miR-496 mimic or inhibitor. A nude mouse model was constructed in order to investigate the regulatory effects of miR-496 on tumor growth in vivo by regulating eIF4E. OS cells exhibited a down-regulated expression of miR-496 and an up-regulated expression of eIF4E. miR-496 expression was positively correlated to OS patients' survival rate. Bioinformatics analysis suggested eIF4E would be a direct target of miR-496, and the expression of eIF4E was inhibited by overexpression of miR-496. miR-496 elevation was found to exert suppressive effects on OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and tumor growth in vivo, with the effects being reversed using miR-496 depletion. Altogether, the above findings support a conclusion that miR-496 could work as a tumor suppressor in OS through down-regulation of eIF4E. This study may provide a novel target for treatment of OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM miRNA-1(miR-1) is down-regulated in various cancer cells including osteosarcoma cells. This study was conducted to analyze the function of miR-1 in osteosarcoma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS miR-1 expression in osteosarcoma cells was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation was evaluated after transfecting miR-1 by WST8 assay and FACS analysis, both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Overexpression of miR-1 suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell-cycle arrest in the G0-G1 phase by increasing p21 levels via a p53-independent pathway. Overexpression of miR-1 down-regulated PAX3, a potential p21-regulating gene. Moreover, knockdown of PAX3 suppressed cell proliferation by increasing p21 levels, and induced arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Administration of miR-1 showed an in vivo antitumor effect. CONCLUSION Overexpression of miR-1 suppressed cell proliferation and induced arrest in the G0/G1 phase by increasing p21 levels via a p53-independent pathway through PAX3 suppression. These results indicate that miR-1 could be a therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Although the application of multiple chemotherapy brought revolutionary changes to improve overall survival of osteosarcoma patients, the existence of multidrug resistance (MDR) has become a great challenge for successful osteosarcoma treatment in recent decades. Substantial studies have revealed various underlying mechanisms of MDR in cancers. As for osteosarcoma, evidence has highlighted that microRNAs (miRNAs) can mediate in the processes of DNA damage response, apoptosis avoidance, autophagy induction, activation of cancer stem cells, and signal transduction. Besides, these drug resistance‐related miRNAs showed much promise for serving as candidates for predictive biomarkers of poor outcomes and shorter survival time, and therapeutic targets to reverse drug resistance and overcome treatment refractoriness. This review aims to demonstrate the potential molecular mechanisms of miRNAs‐regulated drug resistance in osteosarcoma, and provide insight in translating basic evidence into therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is known to be involved in regulating the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of cancer cells in osteosarcoma. In this study, We aim to explore the expression of hsa-let-7 g and its role in pathogenesis of osteosarcoma. By analyzing clinical data. We found high expression of hsa-let-7 g in patients with osteosarcoma. The patients with higher expression of hsa-let-7 g showed poorer prognosis and lower survival rate. After downregulation of hsa-let-7 g in cell model and animal model, we found that with downregulation of hsa-let-7 g, the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells was significantly reduced, the level of migration and invasion was down-regulated, the cell cycle was inhibited, and cell apoptosis was increased. Through Dual Luciferase Reporter, immunohistochemistry, western blot and other experiments, it was found that hsa-let-7 g down-regulated HOXB1 gene and activated NF-kB pathway to promote the development of osteosarcoma. In conclusion, hsa-let-7 g is highly expressed in osteosarcoma tissues, and high expression of hsa-let-7 g can promote the occurrence of osteosarcoma by down-regulating HOXB1 and activating NF-kB pathway.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the bone with a strong tendency to early metastasis, and occurs in growing bones more commonly in children and adolescents. Considering the limited therapeutic methods and lack of 100% success of these methods, developing innovative therapies with high efficacy and lower side effects is needed. Meanwhile, miRNAs and the studies indicating the involvement of miRNAs in OS development have attracted attentions as a result of the frequent abnormalities in expression of miRNAs in cancer. miRNAs are noncoding short sequences with lengths ranging from 18 to 25 nucleotides that play a very important role in cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. MiRNAs can have either oncogenic or tumor suppressive role based on cellular function and targets. This review aimed to have overview on miR-142 as a tumor suppressor in OS. Moreover, the genes involved in the disease, such as RAC1, HMAG1, MMP9, MMP2, and E-cadherin, which have irregularities as a result of change in miR-142 expression, and, thereby, result in increasing the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of the cells in the tissues and OS cells will be discussed.

Downregulation of microRNA-4295 enhances cisplatin-induced gastric cancer cell apoptosis through the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by targeting LRIG1. Int J Oncol 2018; 53:2566-2578. [PMID: 30320337 PMCID: PMC6203147 DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2018.4595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2018] [Accepted: 07/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of microRNA-4295 (miR-4295), which regulates cisplatin (DDP)-induced apoptosis in GC cells through the leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1)-mediated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. Two cell lines were selected, one with the highest expression of miR-4295 and one with the lowest expression of LRIG1, for the experiments. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of DDP in the human GC MKN-28 and MKN-45 cell lines was calculated, and mitochondrial membrane potentials of the GC cells were detected by tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester, perchlorate staining. The proliferation and apoptosis of GC cells with or without DDP treatment were assessed by MTT assay and plate colony formation, as well as flow cytometry and TUNEL staining. Western blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction were employed to determine the expression of EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-related genes and apoptosis-related genes. LRIG1 was identified as a target gene of miR-4295. The expression of miR-4295 was upregulated, and the expression of LRIG1 was downregulated in GC cells. Furthermore, DDP enhanced the decrease in miR-4295 expression and the increase in LRIG1 expression in GC cells. miR-4295 promoted the proliferation and inhibited the DDP-induced apoptosis of GC cells without DDP treatment. In addition, miR-4295 increased the expression levels of EGFR, PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K and p-Akt, suggesting that miR-4295 promotes the activation of the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by targeting LRIG1. miR-4295 targeted and negatively regulated LRIG1 expression to activate the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thereby promoting the proliferation of the GC cells and inhibiting the apoptosis of the GC cells induced by DDP. Therefore, miR-4295 may be a novel therapeutic target in patients with GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In view of the poor prognosis and difficulties in the diagnosis of osteosarcoma, and the functionality of microRNA-Let7A in different types of human cancers, our study aimed to explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of microRNA-Let7A for osteosarcoma. METHODS A total of 39 patients with osteosarcoma and 19 normal healthy people were included in this study. All patients received surgical resection, and tumor tissues as well as pericarcinomatous tissues were collected during surgical operation. Venous blood (2 ml) was extracted from each participant. Expression of microRNA-Let7A in tumor tissues and pericarcinomatous tissues, and expression of E2F2 and microRNA-Let7A in blood of each participant was detected by qRT-PCR. ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic values of blood E2F2 and microRNA-Let7A for osteosarcoma, and prognostic values of microRNA-Let7A for osteosarcoma was evaluated by survival curve comparisons. RESULTS Expression level of microRNA-Let7A was significantly lower in tumor tissues than that in pericarcinomatous tissues. MicroRNA-Let7A expression in blood was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma patients compared with normal control. Expression of microRNA-Let7A was negatively correlated with the expression of E2F2 in blood of osteosarcoma patients. Compared with E2F2, blood microRNA-Let7A can more effectively predict osteosarcoma. Overall survival rate of osteosarcoma patient with low blood expression level of miRNA-let-7a was significantly lower than that of patients with high blood expression level of miRNA-let-7a. CONCLUSION Blood microRNA-Let7A is a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a disease prone to recurrence and metastasis, and adenovirus expression vector is frequently studied as a therapeutic target of osteosarcoma in recent years. The present study attempts to explore the effect of adenovirus-mediated siRNA targetting ezrin on the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. Human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell line was selected for construction of recombinant adenovirus vector. The mRNA and protein levels of ezrin, Bcl2-associated X protein (Bax), B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), p21, p53, Caspase-3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, Cyclin D1, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4a (CDK4a) were determined. Through ELISA, the levels of Caspase-3, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined. Finally, human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell viability, growth, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were detected. Initially, adenovirus expression vector of ezrin was constructed by ezrin 2 siRNA sequence. Adenovirus-mediated siRNA targetting ezrin reduced expression of ezrin in MG-63 cells. The results revealed that adenovirus-mediated siRNA targetting ezrin elevated expression levels of Bax, p21, p53, and Caspase-3, Cyclin D1, and CDK4a and reduced expression levels of Bcl-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9. Furthermore, adenovirus-mediated siRNA targetting ezrin inhibited human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell viability, growth, invasion, and migration, and promoted apoptosis. Our study demonstrates that adenovirus-mediated siRNA targetting ezrin can induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor and predominantly affects children and adolescents. The prognosis for patients with osteosarcoma is poor. Therefore, the development of novel treatments for osteosarcoma is required. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a disease site-specific treatment that utilizes a photosensitizing agent along with light to kill cancer cells. This agent only works following activation by certain wavelengths of light. After the agent is absorbed by the cancer cells, light is then applied to the area to be treated. The light causes the drug to react with oxygen, which produces radical and reactive oxygen species that kill the cells. However, the immune reaction that occurs following PDT remains unknown. The present study demonstrated that the necrosis of osteosarcoma cells inhibited the function of dendritic cells. However, treatment of osteosarcoma cells with PDT restored the function of dendritic cells by upregulating heat shock protein 70. Taken together, the results of the present study provided insight into the subsequent molecular reaction following PDT treatment of osteosarcoma at the molecular level.

miR-145-loaded micelleplexes as a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cells. Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 123:28-42.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS), the main primary malignancy of bone, is the second leading cause of cancer in children and young adults. Despite the advances in modern treatments, the 5-year survival rate is retained in 60-70%, since the conventional treatment options available are associated with relapse, chemoresistance, and development of metastases, which frequently lead to patients death. In this regard, there is an increasing need to search and develop novel and alternative therapeutic approaches. Concerning this, gene therapy appears as an innovative and promising treatment option. This therapeutic option aims to deliver genetic material, through nanosystems, to repress or replace the expression of mutated genes involved in important regulatory pathways. To attain this goal, gene therapy is decidedly dependent on the efficiency of utilized vectors, constituting such a very important parameter to take in consideration. In this work, the main goal was centered on the development and full characterization of an efficient micellar nanosystem, based on the chemical conjugation between the amphiphilic copolymer Pluronic® L64 and the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI), to deliver the therapeutic miRNA-145 into OS cells leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and migration, and ultimately inducing cell death, crafting a novel anticancer therapeutic approach to OS.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA/miR)‑184 in osteosarcoma growth, development and metastasis, and the effects of miRNA‑184 on the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells and associated mechanisms. In vitro, miR‑184 was transfected into U‑2OS cells and 143B cells. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miR‑184. MTT was utilized to detect cell proliferation. A Transwell assay was applied to detect cell invasiveness. In vivo, an osteosarcoma tibial orthotopic metastatic tumor model was established, and western blotting and RT‑qPCR were used to detect the expression of Wnt and β‑catenin. Following the overexpression of miR‑184, the proliferation and cell invasion ability were significantly increased in U‑2OS and 143B cells. Following inhibition of miR‑184, cell proliferation and cell invasion ability were significantly decreased. In nude mice, tumor volume significantly increased following overexpression of miR‑184, and Wnt and phosphorylated β‑catenin levels were significantly increased. Following miR‑184 inhibition, tumor volume was significantly decreased, and Wnt and phosphorylated β‑catenin levels were significantly decreased. The results of the present study indicated that the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway serves a key function in the mechanism of osteosarcoma. Inhibition of miRNA‑184 may reduce tumor volume of osteosarcoma via regulation of the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway and may provide a novel strategy for the future diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Small cell osteosarcoma (SCO) is a rare subtype of osteosarcoma characterized by highly aggressive progression and a poor prognosis. The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained in 3 patients with SCO and 10 healthy individuals using high-throughput RNA-sequencing. We identified 37 dysregulated miRNAs and 1636 dysregulated mRNAs in patients with SCO compared to the healthy controls. Specifically, the 37 dysregulated miRNAs consisted of 27 up-regulated miRNAs and 10 down-regulated miRNAs; the 1636 dysregulated mRNAs consisted of 555 up-regulated mRNAs and 1081 down-regulated mRNAs. The target-genes of miRNAs were predicted, and 1334 negative correlations between miRNAs and mRNAs were used to construct an miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Dysregulated genes were significantly enriched in pathways related to cancer, mTOR signaling and cell cycle signaling. Specifically, hsa-miR-26b-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p and hsa-miR-125b-2-3p were significantly dysregulated miRNAs and exhibited a high degree of connectivity with target genes. Overall, the expression of dysregulated genes in tumor tissues and peripheral blood samples of patients with SCO measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction corroborated with our bioinformatics analyses based on the expression profiles of PBMCs from patients with SCO. Thus, hsa-miR-26b-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p and hsa-miR-125b-2-3p may be involved in SCO tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Recently, several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in osteosarcoma (OS). However, the regulatory roles of lncRNAs in chemotherapy resistance of OS still remain unclear. This study aimed to screen a novel lncRNA that contributes to chemotherapeutic resistance of OS, and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Our data showed that lncRNA CTA was markedly downregulated in OS tissues compared to their matched non-tumor tissues, and low expression of lncRNA CTA was significantly associated with the advanced clinical stage and tumor size. In addition, OS patients with low lncRNA CTA levels showed a worse prognosis when compared with those with high expression of lncRNA CTA. Furthermore, we report that lncRNA CTA has an inverse relationship with miR-210 expression in OS tissues. LncRNA CTA could be activated by doxorubicin (DOX), and could promote OS cell apoptosis by competitively binding miR-210, while inhibit cell autophagy. On the other hand, lncRNA CTA was downregulated in DOX-resistant OS cells. Overexpression of lncRNA CTA reduced autophagy and subsequently overcame DOX resistance of OS in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, we demonstrate that lncRNA CTA is an essential regulator in DOX-induced OS cell apoptosis, and the lncRNA CTA-miR-210 axis plays an important role in reducing OS chemoresistance.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) perform various oncogenic or tumor suppressor functions in carcinogenesis. Currently, the underlying mechanisms of miRNAs in osteosarcoma (OS) are poorly understood. In the present study, it is demonstrated that expression of miR-544 was markedly upregulated in OS cells and clinical tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-544 enhanced OS cell proliferation in vitro. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-544 may target the 3′-untranslated region of axis formation inhibitor 2, which was validated using luciferase reporter gene assays. The present study demonstrated a vital role for miR-544 in promoting OS cell proliferation, indicating that it may represent a novel prognostic factor or therapeutic target for OS.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone carcinoma with high morbidity that happens mainly in children and young adults. As the key components of gene-regulatory networks, microRNAs (miRNAs) control many critical pathophysiological processes, including initiation and progression of cancers. The objective of this study is to summarize and evaluate the potential of miRNAs as targets for prevention and treatment of OS in mouse models, and to explore the methodological quality of current studies. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wan Fang Database, VIP Database, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, and Chinese BioMedical since their beginning date to 10 May 2016. Two reviewers separately screened the controlled studies, which estimate the effects of miRNAs on osteosarcoma in mice. A pair-wise analysis was performed. Thirty six studies with enough randomization were selected and included in the meta-analysis. We found that blocking oncogenic or restoring decreased miRNAs in cancer cells could significantly suppress the progression of OS in vivo, as assessed by tumor volume and tumor weight. This meta-analysis suggests that miRNAs are potential therapeutic targets for OS and correction of the altered expression of miRNAs significantly suppresses the progression of OS in mouse models, however, the overall methodological quality of studies included here was low, and more animal studies with the rigourous design must be carried out before a miRNA-based treatment could be translated from animal studies to clinical trials.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-associated death in women worldwide. microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the cellular processes of breast cancer. However, the crucial roles and underlying mechanisms of miR-539 in breast cancer remain unclear. By RT-qPCR, we found that expression of miR-539 was markedly down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines compared with that in paired adjacent normal tissues and normal cell lines. The low level of miR-539 expression was positively associated with lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, forced expression of miR-539 inhibited proliferation and migration of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays indicated that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was a direct target of miR-539. Over-expression of miR-539 decreased the EGFR mRNA and protein levels in MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells. In addition, ectopic over-expression of EGFR partly reversed miR-539-inhibited proliferation as well as migration of MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that miR-539 functions as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer by downregulating EGFR, supporting the targeting of the novel miR-539/EGFR axis as a potentially effective therapeutic approach for breast cancer.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and young adults. miR-145 is a microRNA highly expressed in vascularized tissues and has been widely studied in cancers. In this study, we explored the expression and function of miR-145 in OS. We found that miR-145 was consistently under-expressed in OS tissues and cell lines as compared to normal bone tissues and osteoblast cells. Ectopic expression of miR-145 in OS cells inhibited their proliferation and migration and induced apoptosis. miR-145 targets a putative microRNA regulatory element (MRE) in the 3'-UTR of friend leukemia virus integration 1 gene (FLI-1), and its abundance was inversely related to FLI-1 expression in OS tissues and cell lines. miR-145 decreased expression FLI-1 protein and mRNA, but mutation of the miR-145 MRE sequence in the FLI-1 3'-UTR abolished the activity of miR-145 in a reporter assay. Restored expression of FLI-1 diminished miR-145-mediated suppression of tumor progression. These results suggest that miR-145 acts as a tumor suppressor by directly reducing expression of FLI-1, and that the miR-145/FLI-1 pathway is important for tumor progression in OS.

Abstract
MicroRNAs play important roles in the pathogenesis of cancers by inhibiting gene expression at posttranscriptional level. Here, we identified that miR-590 and its predicted target gene RB1 are differentially expressed in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL). The correlation between miR-590 and RB1 was further confirmed in 395 T-ALL patients. In T-ALL cell lines, miR-590 promoted the cell proliferation by increasing G1/S transition. Moreover, migration and invasion assay showed that miR-590 promotes the migration and invasion of T-ALL cells by increasing E-cadherin and inhibiting MMP-9. Luciferase assays confirmed that miR-590 directly binds to the 3′untranslated region of RB1, and western blotting showed that miR-590 suppresses the expression of RB1 at the protein levels. This study indicated that miR-590 inhibits RB1 and promotes proliferation and invasion of T-ALL cells. Thus, miR-590 may represent a potential therapeutic target for T-ALL intervention.

Abstract
Abnormal expression and dysfunction of microRNAs are correlated with osteosarcoma (OS). This study demonstrated that the miR-187 level in OS tissues and cell lines was decreased. The proliferation and metastatic abilities of U-2OS cells were inhibited by miR-187 overexpression and promoted by miR-187 knockdown. Moreover, miR-187 also inhibited growth and metastasis of OS cells in vivo. Furthermore, we revealed that miR-187 could interact with S100A4 3'-UTR and inhibit S100A4 expression in OS cells. In summary, miR-187 inhibits growth and metastasis of OS cells by downregulating S100A4, which might be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target of OS.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the second most frequently occurring cancer and the most fatal gynecological malignancy of all gynecological cancers worldwide. MicroRNAs (miR) have been reported to be downregulated or upregulated in a variety of human malignancies, and involved in the formation and progression of the majority of human cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). miR‑320 has been identified as a tumor suppressor in multiple human cancers. However, the expression levels, biological role and underlying mechanisms of miR‑320 in EOC remain to be elucidated. In the present study, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was performed to detect miR‑320 expression in EOC tissues and cell lines. Following transfection with miR‑320 mimics, Cell Counting Kit 8 and cell invasion assays were utilized to investigate the effects of miR‑320 on EOC cell proliferation and invasion. Bioinformatic analysis, luciferase reporter assay, RT‑qPCR and western blotting were used to explore the underlying mechanism of how miR‑320 affects cell proliferation and invasion in EOC. Mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) 1 expression and its association with the miR‑320 expression level was examined in EOC tissues. The role of MAPK1 in EOC cells was additionally evaluated by using a loss‑of‑function assay. The results demonstrated that miR‑320 was markedly downregulated in EOC tissues and cell lines. A decreased miR‑320 expression was significantly correlated with the Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and lymph node metastasis of EOC patients. Additionally, reintroduction of miR‑320 expression suppressed cell proliferation and invasion in EOC. Furthermore, it was verified that MAPK1 is a direct target gene of miR‑320 in EOC. MAPK1 expression was markedly upregulated in EOC tissues and inversely correlated with miR‑320 expression. Furthermore, silencing of MAPK1 by RNA interference inhibited cell proliferation and invasion of EOC cells. Overall, the present study demonstrated that miR‑320 may act as a useful diagnostic and therapeutic target in the treatment of EOC.

Abstract
Bone cancer is a malignant primary tumour of the bone with different typing, such as, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma and fibrosarcoma. Despite the clinical efficacy of conventional therapies of bone cancer, most patients eventually relapse and the disease remains incurable. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are needed to improve patient outcome. In this review article, we have discussed the role of resveratrol in preventing bone and spinal cancers and therapeutics. Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural polyphenol, which has been widely reported as an anticancer molecule. Resveratrol exhibits multiple tumour-suppressing activities in bone cancer by affecting a series of critical events. It has the protective effects against oxidative injury, possesses antiproliferative activity and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Resveratrol might be a good option for the treatment of different types of bone and spinal cancers.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are important regulators of the pathogenesis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). In this study, we identified miR-3173 and its predicted target gene PTK2 were correspondingly differentially expressed in B-ALL patients. In B-ALL cell lines, CCK-8 proliferation assay revealed that miR-3173 could inhibit the cell proliferation. Moreover, transwell assay revealed that miR-3173 could also inhibit cell migration and invasion in B-ALL cell lines. Luciferase assays revealed that miR-3173 directly bound to the 3'untranslated region of PTK2, and western blotting showed that miR-3173 suppressed the expression of PTK2 at the protein level. Generally, this study indicates that miR-3173 negatively regulates PTK2 and inhibits proliferation and invasion of B-ALL cell lines. Thus, miR-3173 may represent a potential therapeutic molecule for B-ALL intervention.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that downregulation of miR-138 occurs in a variety of cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the precise mechanisms of miR-138 in NSCLC have not been well clarified. In this study, we investigated the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of miR-138 in NSCLC cell lines, discussing whether it could turn out to be a therapeutic biomarker of NSCLC in the future. In our study, we found that miR-138 is downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, the low level of miR-138 was associated with increased expression of SOX4 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Upregulation of miR-138 significantly inhibited proliferation of NSCLC cells. In addition, invasion and EMT of NSCLC cells were suppressed by overexpression of miR-138. However, downregulation of miR-138 promoted cell growth and metastasis of NSCLC cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that SOX4 was a potential target gene of miR-138. Next, luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-138 could directly target SOX4. Consistent with the effect of miR-138, downregulation of SOX4 by siRNA inhibited proliferation, invasion, and EMT of NSCLC cells. Overexpression of SOX4 in NSCLC cells partially reversed the effect of miR-138 mimic. In addition, decreased SOX4 expression could increase the level of miR-138 via upregulation of p53. Introduction of miR-138 dramatically inhibited growth, invasion, and EMT of NSCLC cells through a SOX4/p53 feedback loop.
