Abstract
AbstractHigh expression of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 987 (LINC00987) is strongly associated with low overall survival of osteosarcoma; however, its role in osteosarcoma remains unclear. This study explored the biological function and underlying mechanism of LINC00987 in osteosarcoma. In this study, LINC00987 expression in osteosarcoma cells was analyzed using Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and qRT-PCR. The proliferation and migration and invasion in osteosarcoma cells were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the LINC00987-bound miRNAs and miR-376a-5p-bound mRNAs. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were used to assess the interaction between miR-376a-5p, LINC00987, and forming-binding protein 1 (FNBP1). FNBP1 expression was measured by western blotting. LINC00987 was found to be upregulated in osteosarcoma cells. LINC00987 silencing suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Additionally, miR-376a-5p expression was downregulated in osteosarcoma cells. miR-376a-5p knockdown reversed the effect of LINC00987 silencing on the biological function of osteosarcoma cell. miR-376a-5p was found to target LINC00987 and FNBP1. FNBP1protein level was increased in osteosarcoma cells; however, it was inhibited by silencing LINC00987 and enhanced by silencing miR-376a-5p. In conclusions, this study suggests LINC00987 silencing inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by sponging miR-376a-5p to regulate FNBP1 expression. LINC00987 as a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.
