Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore the expression of three genes, HSPD1, SCUBE3, and CXCL14, in osteosarcoma cells and tissue, as well as their association with the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. The expression of HSPD1, SCUBE3, and CXCL14 in osteosarcoma cells was detected by using Western blotting method. siRNA was used to knockdown the expression of the three genes. CCK8 cell proliferation assay was used to observe the effect of siRNA interference on U2OS cell proliferation. The expression of the three genes in osteosarcoma tissue was detected employing immunohistochemical method. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to compare the relations between the expression of the three genes and prognosis. The Western blotting results showed that the expression of Hsp70, SCUBE3 protein, and CXCL14 chemotactic factor in osteosarcoma cells was significantly higher than that in normal osteocytes (p < 0.05). After the three genes were interfered by siRNA, the mRNA and protein expression levels of these genes in osteosarcoma cells were significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The growth rate of U2OS cell after the siRNA interference was significantly lower than that before interference and that in the control group transfected with negative control siRNA (p < 0.05). The result of immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the expression of Hsp70, SCUBE3 protein, and CXCL14 chemotactic factor in osteosarcoma tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent muscle tissue (p < 0.05). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis indicated that the survival rate of the patients with high expression of those three kinds of genes was obviously lower than that of other patients (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the survival rates of patients with high or low expression of two genes (p > 0.05). The expression of HSPD1, SCUBE3, and CXCL14 was all high in osteosarcoma tissues and cells; moreover, the three kinds of genes had close correlations with the prognosis of the patients. Targeted inhibition of these three genes could inhibit the proliferation of the tumor, which may become a new therapeutic target.
