The study of mechanism of miR-34c-5p targeting FLOT2 to regulate proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells.

Objective: Osteosarcoma is one of the most common malignancies in children and adolescents. Studies have shown that miR-34c-5p is involved in the progression of various cancers. To explore the effects of miR-34c-5p on the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and its potential mechanism. Methods: qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-34c-5p and FLOT2 mRNA in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. was used to detect protein expression. MTT assay used to detect cell viability. Transwell was used to detect cell migration and invasion in each group. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect luciferase activity. Results: The expression of miR-34c-5pwas significantly decreased in osteosarcoma tissues and cells and the expression level of FLOT2 mRNA was significantly increased. Overexpression of miR-34c-5p and inhibition of FLOT2 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and inhibited the expression of Cyclin D1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins and promoted the expression of p21 protein. miR-34c-5p targeted to regulate the expression of FLOT2. Overexpression of FLOT2 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-34c-5p overexpression on proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cell lines. Conclusion: miR-34c-5p can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. The mechanism may be related to targeting FLOT2, which will provide a new target for the prevention and treatment of osteosarcoma.
