Abstract

microRNA‑188 (miR‑188) acts as a tumor suppressor in various types of human cancer, including glioma, oral squamous cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the function and mechanism of miR‑188 in pediatric osteosarcoma (OS) have yet to be investigated. In the present study reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that miR‑188 expression was significantly downregulated in pediatric OS tissues and cell lines. miR‑188 overexpression markedly suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cellular apoptosis. An in vivo assay demonstrated that miR‑188 overexpression inhibited tumor growth. miR‑188 targeted SOX4 to regulate its expression. miR‑188 expression was inversely correlated with SOX4 in pediatric OS tissues. SOX4 restoration abrogated the inhibitory effects of miR‑188 on OS cells. The results of the present study indicated that miR‑188 suppressed pediatric OS progression by targeting SOX4.

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

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a malignant cancer in liver epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on Hepatocellular Carcinoma here.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.
