This study investigated the regulatory role of DNMT3A/miR-149/NOTCH1/Hedgehog axis in the development of osteosarcoma. The results showed that DNMT3A promoted methylation modification of miR-149, leading to decreased miR-149 expression and increased NOTCH1 expression, which in turn exacerbated the activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway and the progression of osteosarcoma.
Purpose. To investigate the DNMT3A/miR-149/NOTCH1/Hedgehog axis regulating the development of osteosarcoma. Methods. First, microRNA and mRNA expression microarrays were downloaded from the GEO database for osteosarcoma and differentially expressed microRNAs were analyzed. Subsequently, we collected cancerous tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues from 42 osteosarcoma patients and examined the expression levels of miR-149, DNMT3A, and NOTCH1 in the samples. Subsequently, miR-149 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma cells to detect cell proliferation and metastatic ability changes. We then queried the methylation level of the miR-149 promoter on the bioinformatics website and verified it by experiment. We further demonstrated the expression level of miR-149 with NOTCH1 using a dual luciferase assay and confirmed the role of NOTCH1 on osteosarcoma cell growth and metastasis by functional rescue assay. Finally, we detected the activation level of the Hedgehog/catenin signaling pathway by WB and immunofluorescence. Results. miR-149 was significantly low expressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cells, while DNMT3A and NOTCH1 were highly expressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cells, and negatively correlated with miR-149 expression levels. Overexpression of miR-149 significantly inhibited the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vitro and in vivo, and we found that DNMT3A could promote the methylation modification of the miR-149 promoter, thereby inhibiting the expression of miR-149. Subsequently, the experimental results showed that miR-149 could target negative regulation of NOTCH1, and further overexpression of NOTCH1 in cells with high miR-149 expression could promote the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Conclusion. The methyltransferase DNMT3A suppresses miR-149 expression by promoting methylation modification of the miR-149 promoter, resulting in elevated expression levels of NOTCH1 in cells, therefore exacerbating activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway and therefore exacerbating the development and progression of osteosarcoma.
