Abstract
LncRNA HOTAIR exhibited different effects in human cancers. However, the role of HOTAIR was not reported in osteosarcoma. This study aimed to explore the function of HOTAIR in osteosarcoma. Firstly, we examined HOTAIR expression in breast cancer tissues by the RT-qPCR assay and examined HOTAIR protein expression via immunocytochemistry, to chemical assay, and Western blot. Then, for further exploring the function of HOTAIR, we also examined it by CCK-8 and transwell assays. Downregulation of HOTAIR was detected in osteosarcoma, which predicted poor prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. Moreover, cell migration, invasion, and proliferation were suppressed by HOTAIR overexpression in osteosarcoma. Furthermore, LPR5 was a direct target of HOTAIR, which was upregulated in osteosarcoma. Especially, the upregulation of LPR5 could impair the suppressive effect of HOTAIR in breast cancer. HOTAIR was found to negatively regulate the EMT and Wnt/β-cadherin pathways in osteosarcoma. HOTAIR repressed the progression of osteosarcoma via regulating LPR5 and suppressing the Wnt/β-cadherin pathway. Our findings will provide a positive reference for studying the function of HOTAIR in osteosarcoma.
