MicroRNA-29b-1 impairs in vitro cell proliferation, self‑renewal and chemoresistance of human osteosarcoma 3AB-OS cancer stem cells
2014
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common type of bone cancer, with a peak incidence in the early childhood. Emerging evidence suggests that treatments targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) within a tumor can halt cancer and improve patient survival. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the maintenance of the CSC phenotype, thus, identification of CSC-related miRNAs would provide information for a better understanding of CSCs. Downregulation of miRNA-29 family members (miR-29a/b/c; miR‑29s) was observed in human OS, however, little is known about the functions of miR-29s in human OS CSCs. Previously, during the characterization of 3AB-OS cells, a CSC line selected from human OS MG63 cells, we…

Emerging evidence suggests that treatments targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) within a tumor can halt cancer and improve patient survival. Moreover, identification of CSC-related MicroRNAs (miRNAs) would provide information for a better understanding of CSCs. miR-29 family is a class of miRNAs aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers. They are frequently down-regulated in osteosarcoma (OS), the most common form of childhood cancer with a potent metastasizing potential. 3AB-OS CSC, a human pluripotent CSC line by us produced from the human osteosarcoma MG63 cells (1) is a useful model to study CSC origin and roles (2). Previously, we have shown that in 3AB-OS CSCs miR-29b is potently down-re…
