LncRNA LINC00662 Exerts an Oncogenic Effect on Osteosarcoma by the miR-16-5p/ITPR1 Axis

Figure 4

ITPR1 is directly targeted by miR-16-5p. (a) The possible mRNAs binding to miR-16-5p were predicted by PITA, RNA22, and PicTar databases. (b) The expression of candidate mRNAs in U2OS and SAOS‐2 cells transfected with miR-16-5p mimics was measured by RT-qPCR. (c-d) RT-qPCR was performed to determine the expression of ITPR1 in OS cell lines and tissues. (e) The impact of sh-LINC00662 or miR-16-5p mimics in ITPR1 expression was examined by RT-qPCR. (f) The binding site between miR-16-5p and ITPR1 obtained from starBase. (g) Luciferase reporter assay was used to test the interaction between miR-16-5p and ITPR1. (h) Interaction of miR-16-5p with ITPR1 in U2OS and SAOS‐2 cells was confirmed by RNA pull‐down assay. ; .
