Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most prevalent type of bone cancer with a high rate of metastasis. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) play an essential role in multiple aspects of tumour biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of circEMB in OSA. Methods circRNAs related to OSA invasion were identified via RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR. The relationship between circEMB levels and clinicopathological features of OSA was examined using the clinical specimens and data of 53 patients with OSA. Several in vivo and in vitro experiments, including intravital imaging, whole-transcriptome sequencing, transwell assay, flow cytometry, dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay, RNA pull-down assay and RNA-FISH, were performed to examine the effects of circEMB on the malignant behaviour of OSA. Results A novel circRNA, named circEMB (hsa_circ_001310), was identified in this study. circEMB can promote the malignant behaviour of OSA. In vitro experiments revealed that circEMB knockdown decreased cell proliferation, inhibited tumour invasion and metastasis; increased apoptosis and resulted in G1/S phase arrest. In vivo experiments revealed that circEMB knockdown inhibited tumour growth and metastasis in xenograft-bearing mice. Mechanistically, circEMB affects the malignant behaviour of OSA by mediating EGFR as an miR-3184-5p sponge. In addition, the circEMB/miR-3184-5p/EGFR axis modulates methotrexate (MTX) resistance in OSA. Conclusions CircEMB plays a critical role in promoting cancer via the miR-3184-5p/EGFR pathway, indicating that circEMB may serve as a therapeutic target for OSA. |
