ABSTRACT
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in regulating cancer progression and metastasis. LncRNA tumor suppressor candidate 7 (TUSC-7) was shown to be a tumor suppressor in osteosarcoma. However, the regulation mechanism of TUSC-7 in osteosarcoma is unknown. Bioinformatics analysis showed that TUSC7 specifically binds to miR-211. MiR-211 was up-regulated in osteosarcoma and negatively correlated with the expression of TUSC7. miR-211 expression was inhibited remarkably by TUSC7 overexpression and the reciprocal inhibition exists between TUSC7 and miR-211. RNA pull-down and luciferase reporter assays were used to validate the sequence-specific correlation between miR-211 and TUSC7. TUSC7 inhibited the proliferation, migration of osteosarcoma cells and promoted cellular apoptosis, which is largely mediated by miR-211. We conclude that the TUSC7 acted as a tumor suppressor gene, which is negatively regulated by miR-211. Our study could suggest a potentially novel therapeutic strategy against osteosarcoma.
