Abstract
Osteosarcoma is one of the most aggressive malignancies with poor prognosis rates. Many studies have demonstrated that miRNAs were involved in osteosarcoma, but the role of miR-103a in osteosarcoma remains elusive.
In this study, we detected the expression levels of miR-103 in osteosarcoma and non-osteosarcoma tissues
and cell lines. The binding effect of miR-103 on p57 was detected by luciferase reporter assay. After altering
expressions of miR-103 or p57, viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of MG63 cells and expressions
of proteins related with the JNK/STAT and mTOR pathways were all detected. We found the higher expression of miR-103 in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines compared with non-osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines.
miR-103 overexpression promoted survival, migration, and invasion of MG63 cells. Knockdown of miR-103a
inhibited cell survival, migration, and invasion by upregulating the expression of p57, which was a target
of miR-103. Moreover, miR-103a overexpression activated the JNK/STAT and mTOR pathways probably
through inhibiting p57 expression. In conclusion, miR-103a acted as an oncogene in osteosarcoma, probably
through activating the JNK/STAT and mTOR pathways by inhibiting p57 expression.
