Collectively, these data highlight that miR-223-3p/CDH6 axis is an important novel pleiotropic regulator and could early predict the metastatic potential in human osteosarcoma treatments.
In conclusion, our data offer convincing evidence that the deregulation of miR-223 and its target gene ECT2 may be associated with the aggressive tumor progression of human osteosarcoma.
In the present study, miR-223 expression was down-regulated in OS tissues and cell lines; miR-223 overexpression enhanced the cellular effects of cisplatin (CDDP) on OS cell lines.
Taken together, these experimental findings reveal that CC exhibits potential pharmacological activities against OS through inducing apoptosis and inhibiting miR-223-IκBα signaling pathway in neoplastic cells.
To develop potential therapy targeting Heat shock protein 90B1 (Hsp90B1), we studied the roles of miR- 223 in the proliferation and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma.
We concluded that miR-223 functions as a tumor suppresser in osteosarcoma and miR-223/Ect2/p21 signaling is an important pathway that regulates the osteosarcoma cell cycle progression and proliferaion.
