RESUMEN
This research aims to explore the mechanism by which microRNAs may regulate the biological behavior of tumor cells in ALDH1+ fibrosarcoma. We identified differentially expressed miRNAs in ALDH + NMFH-1 cells, screened genes related to sarcoma metastasis in the TCGA database, and finally obtained key genes regulated by miRNAs that are involved in metastasis. The function and mechanism of these key genes were then validated at the cellular level. Using the ULCAN database, a significant correlation was found between hsa-mir-206 and mortality in sarcoma patients. WGCNA analysis identified 352 genes related to tumor metastasis. Through Venn diagrams, we obtained 15 metastasis-related genes regulated by hsa-mir-206. Survival analysis showed that SYNPO2 expression is significantly correlated with survival rate and is significantly underexpressed in multiple tumors. SYNPO2 showed a negative correlation with macrophages and a positive correlation with CD8+ T cells. After inhibiting the expression of hsa-mir-206 with siRNA plasmids, the mRNA expression of SYNPO2 was significantly upregulated. The results of CCK8 assay, scratch assay, and transwell assay showed that the proliferation and migration ability of NFMH-1 cells were promoted after SYNPO2 was inhibited. ALDH1+ tumor stem cells promote the proliferation and invasion of malignant fibrous histiocytoma cells by inhibiting SYNPO2 through hsa-mir-206.
