ABSTRACT
To investigate the microRNA (miR)-150 expression level in human osteosarcoma cell lines (Saos-2, MG-63) and its function in cell proliferation, and to explore the potential molecular mechanisms.
Methods: MiR-150 expression levels in human osteosarcoma cell lines (Saos-2, MG-63) and normal osteoblast cell line (NHOst) were detected by relative quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). MiR-150 was overexpressed in Saos-2 and MG-63 cells by lentivirus infection. Cell proliferation rates were monitored by MTS assay. RUNX2 and β-actin protein levels were examined by Western blot. Inhibitory effect of miR-150 on binding RUNX2 3'-UTR was detected by Dual-Luciferase assay.
Results: MiR-150 expression level is lower in human osteosarcoma cell lines (Saos-2, MG-63) compared to the normal osteoblast cell line (NHOst) (0.23±0.02 and 0.32±0.03 vs 1.00±0.02), which showed statistical significance (P<0.01). After lentivirus infection, miR-150 level increased in Saos-2 (P<0.01) and MG-63 cells (P<0.01). Overexpression of miR-150 decreased cell proliferation and RUNX2 protein level in Saos-2 and MG-63 cells. The binding of miR-150 to RUNX2 3'-UTR decreased luciferase activity by 69% in Saos-2 cells (P<0.05) and 59% in MG-63 cells (P<0.05). Administration of exogenous RUNX2 recovered the cell proliferation in miR-150 overexpressed Saos-2 and MG-63 cell lines (P<0.01).
Conclusion: MiR-150 inhibites proliferation in human osteosarcoma cell lines through binding to RUNX2 3'-UTR, resulting in the reducion of RUNX2 protein level.
