Abstract

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is associated with loss of tumor suppressor p53 and increased Runx2. Results: Runx2 and p53 levels are inversely correlated in OS. miR-34c, which targets Runx2, is absent in OS and elevated by p53. Conclusion: p53, miR-34c, and Runx2 form a regulatory loop that is compromised in OS. Significance: RUNX2 could be targeted by miR-34c to prevent OS growth.
