Abstract
To elucidate the potential function of lncRNA SNHG3 in the development of osteosarcoma. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted for detection of SNHG3, miRNA-151a-3p and RAB22 A in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Receiver operating characteristic curve was introduced to analyze the diagnostic potential of SNHG3 in osteosarcoma. Correlation between SNHG3 expression and the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method. Invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells were examined by Transwell assay. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA-pull down and RIP assay were used to verify the binding of SNHG3/RAB22 A to miRNA-151a-3p. The function of SNHG3/miRNA-151a-3p/RAB22 A axis in osteosarcoma was finally confirmed by rescue experiments. SNHG3 and RAB22 A were highly expressed in osteosarcoma patients, while miRNA-151a-3p was lowly expressed. The overall survival of osteosarcoma patients with high expression of SNHG3 was shorter than those with low expression. SNHG3 overexpression markedly promoted invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells. Through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, both SNHG3 and RAB22 A could bind to miRNA-151a-3p. RAB22 A expression was positively regulated by SNHG3, but negatively regulated by miRNA-151a-3p. Finally, rescue experiments confirmed that RAB22 A overexpression could reverse the promotive effects of miRNA-151a-3p knockdown on invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells. SNHG3 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma, and promotes the invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells by absorbing miRNA-151a-3p to upregulate RAB22 A expression.
