A Feedback Loop of LINC00665 and the Wnt Signaling Pathway Expedites Osteosarcoma Cell Proliferation, Invasion, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant tumor with frequent occurrence among teenagers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pro-cancer roles in many tumors. The purpose of this study was to figure out the functional role of a novel lncRNA long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 665 (LINC00665) in OS by observing the OS cell behaviors.

Methods

Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze LINC00665 expression in OS cells. Cell function assays assessed the impacts of LINC00665 on OS cell phenotype. Immunofluorescence and western blot analyzed the function of LINC00665 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in OS. Moreover, mechanistic assays analyzed the downstream mechanism of LINC00665 in OS cells.

Results
