The miR-15b-5p/PDK4 axis regulates osteosarcoma proliferation through modulation of the Warburg effect.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 September 19
Blocking aerobic glycolysis has been proposed as an attractive therapeutic strategy for impairing the proliferation of cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that miR-15b-5p was downregulated in osteosarcoma (OS) and that lower expression of miR-15b-5p promoted proliferation and contributed to the Warburg effect in OS cells. Mechanistically, miR-15b-5p acted as a tumor suppressor in OS by directly targeting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 and inhibiting its expression. These results reveal a previously unknown function of miR-15b-5p in OS, which is associated with metabolic alterations that promote cancer progression. miR-15b-5p may play an essential role in the molecular therapy of patients with OS.
