Abstract

Background

Dysfunction of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a common characteristic during cancer progression. The suppressive function of miR-5582-3p in cancers has been emerged in recent studies, however, the clinical value and novel targets of miR-5582-3p in osteosarcoma (OS) have not been identified.

Objective

Investigate the function and underlying mechanism of miR-5582-3p in OS.

Results

miR-5582-3p expression was significantly reduced in OS tissues and cells. Lower level of miR-5582-3p had closed relationship with the advanced development and poor 5-year overall survival of OS patients. Transfection of miR-5582-3p in OS cells obviously inhibited the cell proliferation, invasion and colony formation. Highly expressed miR-5582-3p also delayed the cell cycle progression and promoted cell apoptosis. Furthermore, FZD4 was validated as a target of miR-5582-3p. miR-5582-3p interacted with the 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTR) of FZD4 and reduced FZD4 expression in OS cells. Expression of miR-5582-3p was inversely correlated with that of FZD4 in OS tissues. Transfection of FZD4 rescued the suppressed OS cell proliferation, attenuated miR-5582-3p induced cell apoptosis and invasion.

Conclusions

Our findings uncovered the novel anti-cancer potency of miR-5582-3p in OS via repressing FZD4, suggesting the possibility of miR-5582-3p as a therapeutic target of OS.
