Abstract

long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as tumor suppressors or oncogenes, have been identified to play key roles in tumorigenesis. The present study explored the roles and potential mechanisms of LINC00960 in osteosarcoma (OS). In vitro study showed that silencing LINC00960 inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of 143B and MG63. In vivo study demonstrated that knockdown of LINC00960 repressed tumor growth. Further investigation revealed that LINC00960 could regulate SALL4 by sponging miR-107 to promote the progression of OS. Together, LINC00960 is a tumor oncogene in the development and prognosis of OS, which may be a new therapeutic target for OS.
