Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in osteosarcoma (OS) metastasis and recurrence, and both Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling are essential for the development of the biological traits of CSCs. However, the mechanism that underlies the simultaneous hyperactivation of both Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling in OS remains unclear. Here, we report that expression of miR-135b correlates with the overall and recurrence-free survival of OS patients, and that miR-135b has an activating effect on both Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling. The overexpression of miR-135b simultaneously targets multiple negative regulators of the Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling pathways, including glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK3β), casein kinase 1a (CK1α), and ten-eleven translocation 3 (TET3). Therefore, upregulated miR-135b promotes CSC traits, lung metastasis, and tumor recurrence in OS. Notably, antagonizing miR-135b potently inhibits OS lung metastasis, cancer cell stemness, CSC-induced tumor formation, and recurrence in xenograft animal models. These findings suggest that miR-135b mediates the constitutive activation of Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling, and that the inhibition of miR-135b is a novel strategy to inhibit tumor metastasis and prevent CSC-induced recurrence in OS.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
