Abstract

This study aims to explore the clinical value and mechanism of lncRNA-TMPO-AS1 in osteosarcoma. We collected 51 samples of cancer tissues and 51 samples of matched adjacent tissues from 51 patients with osteosarcoma undergoing surgery in our hospital from February 2018 to February 2019. The expression of TMPO-AS1 in tissue samples was tested to analyze its value in the diagnosis and prognosis prediction of osteosarcoma. We transfected osteosarcoma cells with stable and transient vectors containing overexpressed or inhibited genes. Then, we measured cell proliferation by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay, cell invasion by transwell assay, and cell apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM). The relationship between TMPO-AS1 and miR-329 or between miR-329 and E2F1 was determined by the Dual-Luciferase reporter (DLR) assay. TMPO-AS1 was up-regulated in osteosarcoma cells. Serum TMPO-AS1 could work as a diagnostic marker for osteosarcoma, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of more than 0.8. Osteosarcoma cells were transfected with siRNA-TMPO-AS1, pcDNA3.1-TMPO-AS1, miR-329-mimics, and miR-329-inhibitor. The results revealed that inhibited TMPO-AS1/overexpressed m...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
