Purpose  Long non-coding RNA KLF6 alternative splicing regulating transcript (lnc-KASRT) locates within the intronic region of SRSF1, possessing the potential to regulate KLF6 alternative splicing to promote carcinogenicity. Then, the current  in vitro  and  in vivo  study aimed to investigate the effect of lnc-KASRT on regulating tumor malignant behaviors, and the implication of its interaction with KLF6 alternative splicing in osteosarcoma.    Methods  Lnc-KASRT overexpression or knockdown plasmid was transfected into U-2OS and Saos-2 cells. Then, KLF6-SV1 knockdown plasmid with or without lnc-KASRT overexpression plasmid was transfected into these cells for compensative experiments.  In vivo , lnc-KASRT overexpression or knockdown Saos-2 cells were injected in mice for tumor xenograft construction.    Results  Lnc-KASRT expression was increased in most osteosarcoma cell lines compared to control cell line. Lnc-KASRT overexpression promoted cell viability, mobility, and anti-apoptotic marker expression, while reducing apoptosis rate and pro-apoptotic marker expression; meanwhile, it regulated SRSF1, KLF6 alternative splicing (increased KLF6-splice variant 1 (KLF6-SV1), decreased KLF6-wild type (KLF6-WT)), and followed P21/CCND1 pathway in U-2OS/Saos-2 cells. The lnc-KASRT knockdown exhibited opposite trends. Subsequent compensative experiments disclosed that KLF6-SV1 knockdown attenuated most of the tumor-promoting effects of lnc-KASRT overexpression in U-2OS/Saos-2 cells.  In vivo  experiments further validated that lnc-KASRT enhanced tumor growth and reduced tumor apoptosis; meanwhile, it also increased tumor KLF6-SV1, MMP-1, and MMP-9 expressions but decreased tumor SRSF1 and KLF6-WT expressions in xenograft mice.    Conclusion  Lnc-KASRT serves as a potential treatment target  via  regulating SRSF1-related KLF6 alternative splicing and following P21/CCND1 pathway in osteosarcoma.
