Abstract

In order to determine whether microRNA (miR)‑300 is a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in osteosarcoma, the miR‑300 levels in serum of 114 osteosarcoma patients and 114 healthy controls were compared, followed by serum analysis of the differences between the pre‑operative and post‑operative sera of these osteosarcoma patients. It was observed that the concentration levels of miR‑300 in the serum of osteosarcoma patients was significantly higher than those in the serum of healthy controls (P<0.01). Furthermore, the concentration levels of miR‑300 in the post‑operative serum were significantly reduced when compared with the pre‑operative serum levels (P<0.001). High miR‑300 levels in serum correlated significantly with clinical stage, distant metastasis and poor survival of osteosarcoma patients. Notably, serum miR‑300 was an independent prognostic marker for osteosarcoma. In conclusion, our results suggested that serum miR‑300 may be a potential and useful noninvasive biomarker for the early detection of osteosarcoma.
