Abstract Currently, multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to play vital roles in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-21 in osteosarcoma. The level of miR-21 in 20 pairs
of osteosarcoma and corresponding adjacent tissues was monitored by qPCR. Human osteosarcoma cell line
SAOS-2 was transfected with either miR-21 mimic or miR-21 inhibitor, and then cell viability, survival,
and apoptosis were measured by MTT, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. A target of miR-21
was predicted by the microRNA.org database and verified in vitro by using luciferase reporter, qPCR, and More >
