description | Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone neoplasm. Growing researches have highlighted the tumor promoting role of miR-615-3p in various cancers. Notwithstanding, the biological function and underlying mechanisms of miR-615-3p in OS development still unclear. Methods Quantitative Real-Time PCR analysis (qRT-PCR) and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) staining were performed to measure miR-615-3p expression in OS. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay and EdU assay were applied to analyze the OS cell proliferation activity. Cell metastasis abilities were evaluated using Transwell assays. Analysis of apoptosis was performed based on flow cytometric detection. The potential mechanisms of miR-615-3p in OS progression were investigated through RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, dual-luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR and western blotting. In vivo experiments, mouse xenograft model was carried out to assess the tumorigenicity of miR-615-3p. Results This study demonstrated a significant upregulation of miR-615-3p in OS. In addition, miR-615-3p knockdown suppressed OS proliferation, invasion, metastasis and EMT. Mechanistically, miR-615-3p regulated sestrin 2 (SESN2) expression negatively by targeting its 3’UTR. Moreover, silencing SESN2 facilitated OS progression and activated mTOR pathway. Noteworthy, the anticancer functions of miR-615-3p knockdown were partially recovered by SESN2 silencing. Taken together, the miR-615-3p/SESN2/mTOR pathway is critical for regulating OS progression. Conclusion Our results revealed that miR-615-3p modulated mTOR signaling, thus influencing the progression of OS. For OS treatment, molecular strategies that target the miR-615-3p/SESN2/mTOR pathway is promising. |
