Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of small non‑coding RNAs and have key roles in various cancer types. Recently, miR‑503 has been reported to act as a tumor suppressor in osteosarcoma. However, the detailed mechanism of the regulatory role of miR‑503 in osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion has largely remained elusive. The present study found that miR‑503 was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues compared to that in matched adjacent non‑tumorous tissues. In addition, the expression of miR‑503 in osteosarcoma of T3‑T4 stage was significantly lower when compared with that in T1‑T2 stage samples. miR‑503 was also downregulated in osteosarcoma cell lines (Saos‑2, MG63, U2OS and SW1353), when compared with that in the normal osteoblast cell line hFOB. Overexpression of miR‑503 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of U2OS cells and decreased the protein levels of insulin‑like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‑1R), which was further identified as a novel target of miR‑503 by a luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, overexpression of IGF‑1R eliminated the suppressive effects of miR‑503 on the proliferation and invasion of U2OS cells, suggesting that miR‑503 inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion by directly targeting IGF‑1R. Furthermore, IGF‑1R was significantly upregulated in osteosarcoma tissues compared with that in adjacent non‑tumor tissues, as well as in osteosarcoma cell lines compared with that in hFOB cells. In addition, the expression levels of IGF‑1R were inversely correlated to the miR‑503 levels in osteosarcoma tissues, suggesting that the increased IGF‑1R expression may be caused by the reduced expression of miR‑503. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that miR‑503 suppresses cell proliferation and invasion in osteosarcoma via targeting IGF‑1R and thus highlights the importance of miR‑503/IGF‑1R signaling in the malignant progression of osteosarcoma.
