Long non-coding RNA XIST promotes osteosarcoma progression by targeting YAP via miR-195-5p.
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 2018 July
The lncRNA XIST (X inactive-specific transcript) is an oncogenic lncRNA that is present in various malignant tumors; however, its role and molecular mechanisms in osteosarcoma (OS) progression remain unclear. In the current study, 40 pairs of OS tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor tissues were collected. qRT-PCR was conducted to investigate the differences in XIST expression in tissues and OS cell lines. The proliferation, invasion, and EMT status of OS cells after transfection were assessed with WST-1 assays, Transwell assays, and Western blot analysis, respectively. Whether miR-195-5p was a direct downstream target of XIST was verified by both bioinformatics target gene prediction and dual-luciferase report analysis. A mouse model was established to evaluate tumor proliferation in vivo. Our results demonstrated that XIST expression was significantly upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines and negatively correlated with clinical prognosis. XIST knockdown inhibited cancer cell proliferation and invasion in vitro, inhibited the EMT of OS cells in vitro, and suppressed subcutaneous tumor growth in vivo. Further analysis demonstrated that XIST regulated YAP expression by functioning as a competing endogenous RNA that sponged miR-195-5p in OS cells. XIST directly interacted with miR-195-5p and decreased the binding of miR-195-5p to the YAP 3'UTR, which suppressed the degradation of YAP mRNA by miR-195-5p. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that lncRNA XIST enhances OS cancer cell proliferation and invasion in part through the miR-195-5p/YAP pathway. Therefore, lncRNA XIST might be a promising therapeutic target for OS.
