BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most primary malignant bone tumors, mainly attracting children and young adults. The microRNAs are mentioned to play vital roles in many cancers, including OS. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression and function of miR-455-3p in OS and predict the potential effects in clinical diagnosis and prognosis.MethodWe conducted quantitative real-time PCR to assess the expression of miR-455-3p in OS tissues and cell lines. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry were performed to assess the ability of miR-455-3p on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analysis were used to demonstrate the survival outcome.ResultsThis study revealed that the expression of miR-455-3p was decreased in OS tissues and cell lines. The dysregulation of miR-455-3p was in association with tumor size, distant metastasis, and clinical stage. Patients with high miR-455-3p expression had a satisfying survival rate. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that miR-455-3p was a promising prognostic indicator. Expression of miR-455-3p could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion, and facilitate apoptosis of OS cells in vitro.ConclusionThese results indicated the miR-455-3p was a potential clinical therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker by suppressing the proliferation, migration, and invasion, as well as enhancing cell apoptosis.
