Long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) DLX6-AS1 plays significant roles in various types of malignant tumors, including osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor. However, the role and mechanism of DLX6-AS1 have not been fully illuminated in OS. Here, we aimed to find a novel mechanism for DLX6-AS1 in regulating the development of OS through sponging microRNA (miRNA).

The purpose of the present study was to examine the expression levels of miR-95-3p in serum of patients with osteosarcoma and to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of miR-95-3p.

VEGFA is a key regulator of angiogenesis and plays an important role in regulation of tumor metastasis. The objective of this study was to determine whether VEGFA was involved in miR-1-mediated suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells.
