miR-203a-3p enhances radiosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells by targeting AKT2

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-203a-3p on apoptosis and radiosensitivity of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells and its potential mechanism.Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of AKT2 mRNA and the expression of miR-203a-3p in MG-63 cells treated with different doses of radiation(0,2,4,6,8 Gy).Colony formation assay was carried out to measure the survival fraction of MG-63 cells treated with different doses of radiation.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rate of MG-63 cells.Western blot was applied to detect the expression level of AKT2 protein.And dual-luciferase reporter assay system was implemented to verify the relationship between miR-203a-3p and AKT2.Results:With the increase of radiation dose,the expression of miR-203a-3p in osteosarcoma MG-63 cells was significantly inhibited(P<0.05).Overexpression of miR-203a-3p enhanced the radiosensitivity and promoted the apoptosis of MG-63 cells.The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay system suggested that miR-203a-3p targeted and negatively regulated the expression of AKT2.Inhibition of AKT2 enhanced the radiosensitivity of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells.Overexpression of AKT2 reversed the radiosensitization of MG-63 cells when miR-203a-3p was up-regulated and inhibited the apoptosis of MG-63 cells.Conclusion:miR-203a-3p enhances radiosensitivity and promotes apoptosis of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells by targeting AKT2.miR-203a-3p is expected to be a target for clinical radiosensitization of osteosarcoma.
