lncRNA and Osteosarcoma

Mitochondrial damage is related to the functional properties of immune cells as well as to tumorigenesis and progression. Nevertheless, there is an absence concerning the systematic evaluation of mitochondria-associated lncRNAs (MALs) in the immune profile and tumor microenvironment of osteosarcoma patients. Based on transcriptomic and clinicopathological data from the TARGET database, MAL-related patterns were ascertained by consistent clustering, and gene set variation analysis of the different patterns was completed...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (FRLncs) implicated in influencing the prognostic and immune microenvironment in osteosarcoma (OS), and to establish a foundational framework for informing clinical decision making pertaining to OS management. METHODS: Transcriptome data and clinical data pertaining to 86 cases of OS, the GSE19276, GSE16088 and GSE33382 datasets, and a list of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) were used to establish a risk prognostic model through comprehensive analysis...

Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most aggressive bone tumors worldwide. Emerging documents have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) elicit crucial regulatory functions in the process of tumorigenesis. LncRNA DLGAP1-AS2 is recognized as a regulator in several types of cancers, but its biological functions and molecular mechanisms in OS remain to be elucidated. RT-qPCR and In situ hybridization (ISH) were used to evaluate DLGAP1-AS2 expression in OS samples. Western blotting was used for the measurement of the protein levels of hexokinase 2 (HK2) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers...

Osteosarcoma, originating from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells, is the most common malignant bone tumour among children and adolescents. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most ubiquitous type of posttranscriptional modification, is a methylation that occurs in the N6-position of adenosine. m6A dramatically affects the splicing, export, translation, and stability of various RNAs, including mRNA and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Increasing evidence suggests that ncRNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNA), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), regulate the m6A modification process by affecting the expression of m6A-associated enzymes...

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA cluster antisense RNA 3 (HOXA-AS3) regulates the progression of several types of human malignancy. However, the role and potential mechanism of HOXA-AS3 in osteosarcoma (OS) remain unknown. In this study, upregulation of HOXA-AS3 was observed in OS tissues and cell lines and associated with poor clinical outcomes. Silencing of HOXA-AS3 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of OS cells in vitro and suppressed the tumorigenesis of OS cells in vivo...

Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent and fatal type of bone tumor. Despite advancements in the treatment of other cancers, overall survival rates for patients with osteosarcoma have stagnated over the past four decades Multiple-drug resistance-the capacity of cancer cells to become simultaneously resistant to multiple drugs-remains a significant obstacle to effective chemotherapy. The recent studies have shown that noncoding RNAs can regulate the expression of target genes. It has been proposed that "competing endogenous RNA" activity forms a large-scale regulatory network across the transcriptome, playing important roles in pathological conditions such as cancer...

Emerging data have proposed that the aberrant level of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) is related to the onset and progression of cancer. Among them, lncRNA SOX21-AS1 was shown to upregulate and seem to be a novel oncogene in various cancer, including ovarian cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, osteosarcoma, and melanoma. Available data indicated that SRY-box transcription factor 21 antisense divergent transcript 1 (SOX21-AS1) mostly acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to inhibit the level of its target microRNAs (miRNAs), leading to upregulation of their targets...

Our previous report has identified a lncRNA SATB2-AS1, which was significantly up-regulated in osteosarcoma tissue and promotes the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells in vitro . However, the mechanisms of SATB2-AS1 regulating the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vivo and its role in the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients are still unclear. In this study, the transcriptome sequencing data of 87 patients with osteosarcoma from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database and 7 patients from our clinical center (GZFPH) was used to evaluate the importance of SATB2-AS1 and SATB2 on the prognosis...

BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma (OS) represents a common type of bone cancer. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have shown their potential in therapeutic modalities for OS. This study's purpose was to reveal the action of lncRNA EBLN3P on OS growth and metastasis and its mechanism. METHODS: Expressions of EBLN3P/Hu antigen R (HuR)/Annexin A3 (ANXA3) were determined by RT-qPCR/Western blot. Proliferation/migration/invasion of OS cells were assessed via CCK-8/Transwell assays after interfering EBLN3P/ANXA3/HuR...

Recent research has indicated that Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are crucial in many disorders, especially tumors. However, the exact role of LncRNA XLOC_006786 (LncRNA-SPIDR-2:1) in malignancies, especially in human osteosarcoma, is unclear. The results of RT‒qPCR, western blotting, CCK-8 assays, and Transwell assays showed that LncRNA XLOC_006786 inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, indicating that it may be a tumor suppressor gene in osteosarcoma. We found that LncRNA XLOC_006786 negatively regulated NOTCH3, which is an oncogenic gene in osteosarcoma, as we previously reported...

BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is an important component of tumorigenesis. Aberrant expression of lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (lncTUG1) has been reported in various tumors; however, its precise role and key targets critically involved in osteosarcoma (OS) progression remains unclear. METHODS: The expression profiles of lncRNAs and its regulated miRNAs related to OS progression were assessed by bioinformatics analysis and confirmed by qRT-PCR of OS cells...

The important roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer have been studied, such as regulating the proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, infiltration, and autophagy of cancer cells. Localization detection of lncRNAs in cells can provide insight into their functions. By designing the lncRNA-specific antisense chain sequence followed by labeling with fluorescent dyes, RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can be applied to detect the cellular localization of lncRNAs...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic value and mechanism of long non-coding RNA DLEU1(LncRNA DLEU1) in osteosarcoma. METHODS: The tissue samples and clinical data of 86 patients with osteosarcoma treated by orthopaedic surgery in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were retrospectively collected. The expression of LncRNA DLEU1 in pathological tissues was detected by qRT-PCR, then the patients were divided into high and low expression of LncRNA DLEU1 groups...

Osteosarcoma (OS), which is a common and aggressive primary bone malignancy, occurs mainly in children and adolescent. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are reported to play a pivotal role in various cancers. Here, we found that the lncRNA HOTAIRM1 is upregulated in OS cells and tissues. A set of functional experiments suggested that HOTAIRM1 knockdown attenuated the proliferation and stimulated the apoptosis of OS cells. A subsequent mechanistic study revealed that HOTAIRM1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to elevate ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb) expression by sponging miR-664b-3p...

BACKGROUND: DICER1-AS1 is reported to promote the progression and disturb the cell cycle in osteosarcoma; however, its mechanism has rarely been studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS: DICER1-AS1 expression levels were evaluated by qPCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The total, nuclear, and cytosolic levels of CDC5L were measured by western blotting and immunofluorescence (IF). Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle analyses were conducted using the colony formation, CCK-8 assay, terminal transferase-mediated UTP nick end-labeling kit (TUNEL) assay, and flow cytometry...
