Long non-coding RNA LINC01419 mediates miR-519a-3p/PDRG1 axis to promote cell progression in osteosarcoma

Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with mortality rate worldwide. Accumulating evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert important functions in regulation of cancer initiation and progression. Recently, long intergenic non-protein co...

description Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with mortality rate worldwide. Accumulating evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert important functions in regulation of cancer initiation and progression. Recently, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1419 (LINC01419) has been reported to function as an oncogene in several cancers. However, its role in OS has not been explored yet. Methods qRT-PCR and western blot analyses were implemented to determine the expression of genes. The function of OS cells was assessed through colony formation, EdU, JC-1, TUNEL, transwell, and immunofluorescence (IF) assays. FISH and subcellular fractionation assays were conducted to estimate the localization of LINC01419 in OS cells. The interaction between genes was validated through luciferase reporter and RNA pull down assays. Results LINC01419 expression was elevated in OS tissues and cells. Functionally, LINC01419 accelerated OS cell proliferation, motility and EMT. In vivo assay showed that silencing LINC01419 hindered the growth of OS tumors. Mechanistic investigation unveiled that LINC01419 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to augment PDRG1 expression by miR-519a-3p sequestration. Rescue assays verified the oncogenic effect of LINC01419/miR-519a-3p/PDRG1 axis on OS development. Conclusion LINC01419 mediates malignant phenotypes in OS by targeting miR-519a-3p/PDRG1 axis.
