SAR1A regulates the RhoA/YAP and autophagy signaling pathways to influence osteosarcoma invasion and metastasis.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent form of primary bone malignancy affecting adolescents. Secretion-associated Ras-related GTPase 1A (SAR1A) is a key regulator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, but its role as a regulator of osteosarcoma metastasis has yet to be clarified. Bioinformatics analyses revealed SAR1A and RHOA to be upregulated in osteosarcoma patients, with the upregulation of these genes being associated with poor 5-year metastasis-free survival rates. In addition, the upregulation of SAR1A and RHOA in osteosarcoma was highly positively correlated. Immunohistochemical analyses additionally revealed that SAR1A levels were increased in osteosarcoma pulmonary metastases. In vitro wound healing and Transwell assays indicated that knocking down SAR1A or RHOA impaired the in
