LINC01116 Promotes Doxorubicin Resistance in Osteosarcoma by Epigenetically Silencing miR-424-5p and Inducing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.

ABSTRACT: Background: Development of resistance to doxorubicin-based chemotherapy limits its curative effect in osteosarcoma. In the current study, we focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying the development of doxorubicin resistance in osteosarcoma. Methods: The human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 and doxorubicin-resistant MG-63/Dox cells were used in this study. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of the long non-coding RNA LINC01116 in the two cell lines. Then, the specific shRNA for LINC01116 was employed to suppress LINC01116 expression in MG-63/Dox cells. Cell viability was assessed by the CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by the transwell assay. Moreover, the epithelial-
