Research overview

The objective of this study is to reveal the dysregulated lncRNAs in OS plasma exosomes and explore their functions in OS. Further assays indicated that CASC15 knockdown could restrain the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells, and inhibit the growth of OS in xenograft models.

Key findings

Upregulated CASC15 was observed in OS plasma exosomes compared with control, and the same expression was observed in the OS tissues and cell lines.

Further assays indicated that CASC15 knockdown could restrain the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells, and inhibit the growth of OS in xenograft models.

Furthermore, our results demonstrated CASC15 regulated OS progression via acting as miR-338-3p sponge, and RAB14 was a direct downstream target of miR-338-3p.

Rescue experiments verified CASC15 promotes OS cell growth and metastasis by upregulating RAB14 expression.

Study design

Microarray was performed to analyze dysregulated exosomal lncRNAs.

Western blot, qRT-PCR assays, and Dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to verify the interaction among cancer susceptibility 15 (CASC15), miR-338-3p, and RAB14.

Cck-8, colony formation assay, and transwell assay were performed to explore and characterize the effects of CASC15 on OS cells.
