Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a common bone tumor and a frequently occuring cancer‑associated threat to children. Notably, the prognosis of osteosarcoma is very poor when it is diagnosed with metastasis. A growing number of studies have indicated that various microRNAs (miRs) serve important regulatory roles in the pathogeny of different types of cancer. However, the functions of miR‑210 in osteosarcoma need to be elucidated comprehensively. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential roles of miR‑210 in osteosarcoma by targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor‑like 1 (FGFRL1). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction results revealed that the expression of miR‑210 was highly elevated while FGFRL1 expression was reduced inversely in osteosarcoma tissues compared with matched normal tissues. The results of Transwell assays showed that miR‑210 promoted osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, the luciferase reporter assay results suggested that miR‑210 could directly bind to FGFRL1 in osteosarcoma cells. In addition, the present findings demonstrated that miR‑210 could negatively regulate FGFRL1 expression by targeting the 3'untranslated region. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested that miR‑210 exerted tumor carcinogenic functions in osteosarcoma by targeting FGFRL1. The findings of this study demonstrated that FGFRL1 was a direct target of miR‑210 in osteosarcoma involved in the promoting functions mediated by miR‑210 in the invasion and migration of osteosarcoma, suggesting that miR‑210/FGFRL1 may be promising for discovering diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for the therapies of osteosarcoma.
