Abstract
Objectives
To explore the effects of Lin28A on progression of osteocarcinoma (OS) cells.
Results
Lin28A mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased in OS tissues compared with that in normal adjacent tissues. Expressions of Lin28A and long noncoding RNA MALAT1 were positively correlated. Patients with higher Lin28A expression had shorter overall survival. Moreover, Lin28A knockdown inhibited OS cells proliferation, migration, invasion and promoted cell apoptosis; Lin28A was found to harbor binding sites on MALAT1 sequences and associated with MALAT1, and increased MALAT1 stability and expression. Notably, the inhibition of Lin28A knockdown was attenuated or even reversed by MALAT1 overexpression.
Conclusions
RNA binding protein Lin28A could facilitate OS cells progression by associating with the long noncoding RNA MALAT1.
