Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumour with the lowest survival rates out of all paediatric cancers and is primarily diagnosed in children and adolescents. MNAT1 is a subunit in the cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinase complex. Abnormal up-regulation of MNAT1 has been associated with the poor prognosis of multiple cancers. Bioinformatics analysis showed that has-circ-0001146 and miR-26a-5p were involved in the regulation of MNAT1 in osteosarcoma. The present study investigated the regulatory effects of has-circ-0001146 and miR-26a-5p on MNAT1 expression using luciferase reporter and RNA-pull down assays. The effects of the has-circ-0001146/miR26a-5p/Mnat1 network on the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma were evaluated by cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion assays. Osteosarcoma tissues showed higher MNAT1 and has-circ-0001146 expression than adjacent normal tissues, although the expression of MNAT1 was not significantly up-regulated in sarcomas according to TCGA databases. As indicated by luciferase reporter and RNA-pull down assays, miR-26a-5p was able to bind to both has-circ-0001146 and MNAT1 mRNA. The depletion of has-circ-0001146 as well as the increase of miR-26a-5p decreased MNAT1 expression in osteosarcoma cells, while the reduction of miR-26a-5p was associated with increased MNAT1 expression. These data suggested that has-circ-0001146 promoted MNAT1 expression by competitively binding to miR-26a-5p with MNAT1 mRNA. The depletion of has-circ-0001146 or MNAT1 or the increase of miR-26a-5p inhibited osteosarcoma cell viability and invasion, and increased apoptosis. Reduction of miR-26a-5p conversely promoted osteosarcoma cell viability and invasion. The present study confirmed that has-circ-0001146 blocked miR-26a-5p targeting MNAT1 in osteosarcoma cells, thereby promoting the malignant behaviours of osteosarcoma cells.
