Popis: Abstract Background Accumulating evidence indicates that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression contributes to osteosarcoma progression. This study aimed to elucidate the association between miR-624-5p expression and osteosarcoma (OS) development and to investigate its underlying mechanism. Methods We analyzed GSE65071 from the GEO database and found miR-624-5p was the most upregulated miRNA. The expression of miR-624-5p and its specific target gene were determined in human OS specimens and cell lines by RT-PCR and western blot. The effects of miR-624-5p depletion or ectopic expression on OS proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated in vitro using CCK-8 proliferation assay, colony formation assay, transwell assay, would-healing assay and 3D spheroid BME cell invasion assay respectively. We investigated in vivo effects of miR-624-5p using a mouse tumorigenicity model. Besides, luciferase reporter assays were employed to identify interactions between miR-624-5p and its specific target gene. Results miR-624-5p expression was upregulated in OS cells and tissues, and overexpressing miR-624-5p led to a higher malignant level of OS, including cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B (PTPRB) was negatively correlated with miR-624-5p expression in OS tissues. Using the luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting, PTPRB was confirmed as a downstream target of miR-624-5p. PTPRB restored the effects of miR-624-5p on OS migration and invasion. The Hippo signaling pathway was identified as being involved in the miR-624-5p/PTPRB axis. Conclusions In conclusion, our results suggest that miR-624-5p is a negative regulator of PTPRB and a risk factor for tumor metastasis in OS progression.
