MicroRNA-150 upregulation reduces osteosarcoma cell invasion and metastasis by downregulating Ezrin.

Abstract:

:The present study aimed to investigate the effect of microRNA-150 (miRNA/miR-150) in osteosarcoma (OS) cell invasion and metastasis by the regulation of Ezrin. To compare the differences in the expression of miR-150 and Ezrin, cell models of OS metastasis were established by exogenous transfection of miR-150 on the basis of different expression levels of miR-150. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to estimate these expression levels. Ezrin expression was detected by western blot assay. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay was performed to determine cells proliferation. Cell invasion and migration were measured in vitro by Transwell migration assays. Detection of apoptosis adopted flow cytometry. The results of RT-qPCR showed that the miR-150 expression in OS F5M2 cells was significantly increased following exogenous transfection of miR-150 mimics, and the expression of miR-150 was positively correlated with the concentration of the miR-150 mimics. Western blot assay indicated that the Ezrin expression in the F5M2 cells was decreased with the exogenous overexpression of miR-150. Additionally, Transwell assays revealed that the overexpression of miR-150 significantly suppressed the invasion and metastasis ability of the F5M2 cells. miR-150 upregulation may reduce OS cell invasion and metastasis by downregulating the expression of Ezrin.
