Abstract
Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) promote the progression of osteosarcoma (OS). This study aimed to investigate the potential of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in OS. Gene expression was determined using RT-qPCR. Protein expression was detected by western blot. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification was confirmed by MeRIP. Cell behaviors were detected using CCK-8, colony formation, and transwell assays. The interaction between miR-195-5p and the FGD5-AS1/SLC7A2 axis was confirmed by luciferase assays. FGD5-AS1 was upregulated in OS, induced by METTL16 via mediating m6A modification. However, FGD5-AS1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of OS cells. FGD5-AS1 sponged miR-195-5p to mediate the upregulation of SLC7A2, overexpression of which promoted aggressiveness of OS cells. In summary, METTL16-mediated upregulation of FGD5-AS1 promotes the aggressiveness of OS though targeting of miR-195-5p/SLC7A2 axis.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
