This study found that gallic acid (GA) suppressed the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma (OS) cells by modulating the H19-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest that GA may be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of OS.
Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignancy in bone tissues, and effective thera-peutics remain absent in clinical practice. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have been used for thousands of years, which provide great insights into OS management. Gallic acid (GA) is a natural phenolic acid enriched in various foods and herbs. Several pharmacological activities of GA such as anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation have been well-established. However, its biological function in OS remains not fully understood.Methods: The potential anti-cancer properties of GA were evaluated in 143 B, U2OS and MG63 cells. Its effects on cell growth, cell cycle, apoptosis and migration were examined in these OS cells. The lncRNA H19 and Wnt/ beta-catenin signaling were detected by qPCR, luciferase activity and Western blotting assays. The in vivo effect of GA on tumor growth was investigated using an orthotopic mouse model.Results: In the present study, GA was found to suppress the tumor growth in vitro via inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in OS cells, and inhibit the invasion and metastasis as well. Using the orthotopic animal model, GA was also found to suppress tumorigenesis in vivo. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 was demonstrated to be down-regulated by GA, and thus disrupted the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in OS cells. Furthermore, the ectopic expression of H19 rescued the GA-induced suppressive effects on tumor growth and metastasis, and partially reversed the inactivation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicated that GA inhibited tumor growth through an H19-mediated Wnt/ beta-catenin signaling regulatory axis in OS cells.The translational potential of this article: The information gained from this study provides a novel underlying mechanism of GA mediated anti-OS activity, suggesting that GA may be a promising drug candidate for OS patients.
