MUC 15 Promotes Osteosarcoma Cell Proliferation, Migration and Invasion through Livin, MMP-2/MMP-9 and Wnt/β-Catenin Signal Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the high expression of MUC15 in promoting proliferation, migration and invasion in osteosarcoma (OS) cell and its potential mechanism. Methods: The expressions of MUC15 in OS patients were analyzed from GEO Datasets, tumor cell lines and clinical samples. The roles of MUC15 in OS were explored by CCK-8, flow cytometry, transwell and western blot assay, respectively. Results: MUC15 was highly expressed in osteosarcoma, and there was a significant negative correlation between MUC15 and the prognosis. Knockdown of MUC15 in HOS and U-2OS could promote tumor cell apoptosis, down-regulate the expression of MMP2/9, reduce the epithelial interstitial transition and silence the Wnt/b-Catenin signal pathway. Conclusion: The high-expression of MUC
