After LINC00839 knockdown, cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, transwell migration and invasion assay, and in vivo tumor xenograft assay were used to detect its effects on cellular processes in OS. Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to predict the putative miRNAs that target LINC00839. RNA immunoprecipitation assay, luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting analysis, and rescue assays were conducted to establish a relationship among LINC00839, microRNA-454-3p (miR-454-3p), and cellular mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (c-Met) in OS.Results: LINC00839 was upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines. OS patients characterized with high LINC00839 expression exhibited shorter overall survival than patients with low LINC00839 expression. LINC00839 knockdown caused a significant reduction in OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, LINC00839 depletion inhibited OS tumor growth in vivo and induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, LINC00839 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA in OS by sponging miR-454-3p. c-Met was confirmed as a direct target gene for miR-454-3p in OS cells and was positively regulated by LINC00839 by competitively binding to miR-454-3p.Conclusion: LINC00839 promoted the oncogenicity of OS by targeting the miR-454-3p/c-Met axis. The LINC00839/miR-454-3p/c-Met network may represent a potential target for OS therapy.Keywords: long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 839, ceRNA, therapeutic target |
