LHX2 promotes malignancy and inhibits autophagy via mTOR in osteosarcoma and is negatively regulated by miR-129-5p

Abstract excerpt

The transcript factor LHX2 is dysregulated in many cancers but its role in osteosarcoma (OS) remains unclear. In this study, we confirm that LHX2 is up-regulated in osteosarcoma, and that its silencing inhibits OS malignancy and induces autophagy via mTOR signaling. We further demonstrate that miR-129-5p negatively regulates LHX2 and suppresses the malignant phenotypes of OS. LHX2 overexpression could restore the...
