Lnc-PHF3-3 aggravates the chemoresistance of osteosarcoma cells to doxorubicin via the miR-142-3p/HMGB1 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chemoresistance poses a significant challenge in the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of cancer biology. Despite accumulating evidence linking dysregulation of lncRNAs to chemoresistance, the specific regulatory functions and complexities involved in lncRNA-mediated modulation of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in OS remain understudied.

Methods

We examined expression levels of lncRNA Lnc-PHF3-3 and miR-142-3p in OS tissues and cell lines by lncRNA microarray profiling and qRT-PCR. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays were performed to examine the effect of lncRNA Lnc-PHF3-3 and miR-142-3p on chemoresistance of OS cells. Using fluorescence reporter and western blot assays, we also explored the
