Abstract

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of COL6A3 on cell motility and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in osteosarcoma. METHODS The relative expression of COL6A3 was achieved from a GEO dataset in osteosarcoma tissue. siRNA technology was applied to decrease the COL6A3 expression in cells, and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and colony formation analysis were used to examine the cell proliferation potential. Knockdown COL6A3 made the proliferation and colony formation abilities worse than the COL6A3 without interference. Likewise, in contrast to the si-con group, cell invasion and migration were inhibited in the si-COL6A3 group. Moreover, the western blot results suggested that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was manipulated by measuring the protein expression of the PI3K/AKT pathway-related markers, due to the COL6A3 inhibition. CONCLUSION COL6A3 plays a crucial role in modulating various aspects of the progression of osteosarcoma, which would provide a potentially effective treatment for osteosarcoma.
