Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators in many types of cancer, including osteosarcoma. miR-342-3p has emerged as an important cancer-related miRNA in several types of cancers. However, the functional significance of miR-342-3p in osteosarcoma is unknown. The aims of this study were to investigate whether miR-342-3p is dysregulated in osteosarcoma and to explore the biological function of miR-342-3p in regulating cellular processes of osteosarcoma cells. We found that miR-342-3p expression was significantly decreased in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-342-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. In contrast, the inhibition of miR-342-3p exhibited the opposite effect. Astrocyte-elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) was identified as one of the target genes of miR-342-3p in osteosarcoma cells by bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis. Overexpression of miR-342-3p also inhibited the Wnt and nuclear factor kB signaling pathways. Moreover, overexpression of AEG-1 partially rescued the inhibitory effects of miR-342-3p mediated on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Overall, our results show that miR-342-3p inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells through targeting AEG-1, suggesting a potential target for the development of miRNA-based therapy for osteosarcoma.Keywords
