| Summary: | Purpose. Osteosarcoma (Os) is the most frequent malignant tumor of the bone in the pediatric age group, and accumulating evidences show that lncRNAs play a key role in the development of Os. Thus, we investigated the role of RBM5-AS1 and its molecular mechanism. Methods. The expression of RBM5-AS1 in Os tissues and cell lines was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). The effect of RBM5-AS1 on the proliferation of Os cells was detected using CCK8 assays and flow cytometry. The effect of RBM5-AS1 on the migration and invasion of Os cells was detected by transwell assays. And we performed QPCR and western blotting assays to investigate the relationship between RBM5-AS1 and RBM5. Finally, western blotting assays were performed to explore the mechanism of RBM5. Results. LncRNA RBM5-AS1 was overexpressed in the Os tissues and cell lines. And lncRNA RBM5-AS1 promoted Os cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. LncRNA RBM5-AS1 targets RBM5 in Os cells. Conclusion. To sum up, the results showed that lncRNA RBM5-AS1 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in Os.
