Popis: Our previous report has identified a lncRNA SATB2-AS1, which was significantly up-regulated in osteosarcoma tissue and promotes the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. However, the mechanisms of SATB2-AS1 regulating the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vivo and its role in the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients are still unclear. In this study, the transcriptome sequencing data of 87 patients with osteosarcoma from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database and 7 patients from our clinical center (GZFPH) was used to evaluate the importance of SATB2-AS1 and SATB2 on the prognosis. The effect of SATB2-AS1 on the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vivo was verified by a mouse tumor model. The potential mechanisms of SATB2-AS1 regulating SATB2 were further explored by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA pull-down assay, and bioinformatics analysis. The results suggested that increased co-expression of SATB2-AS1 and SATB2 was significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS), and was a biomarker for risk stratification in patients with osteosarcoma. Mechanistically, SATB2-AS1 promotes tumor growth and lung metastasis by regulating SATB2 in vivo. SATB2-AS1 directly binds to POU3F1 for mediating SATB2 expression in MNNG/HOS cells. In addition, SATB2-AS1 and SATB2 might be potential immunomodulators for negatively affecting immune cell infiltration by the IL-17 signaling pathway. In summary, SATB2-AS1 promoted tumor cell growth and lung metastasis by activating SATB2, thereby associated with poor prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma, which indicated that SATB2-AS1 and SATB2 might be novel biomarkers for risk stratification and promising therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma.
