MicroRNA-9 (miR-9) has a well-established role in various tumors; the clinical significance and potential mechanism of miR-9 in human osteosarcoma (OS) has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism and role of miR-9 expression in osteosarcoma cells. miR-9 expression in the OS cell line MG-63 and OS tissues was compared to that in a human osteoblastic cell line (hFOB 1.19) and adjacent normal tissues, respectively, by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. miR-9 expression was downregulated by introducing small interfering RNA against miR-9 (si-miR-9) into the cells, and the proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of si-miR-9-transfected MG-63 cells were compared to those of control MG-63 cells. miR-9 was significantly upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines compared to the corresponding non-cancerous bone tissues (P &lt; 0.05) and human osteoblastic cell line (P &lt; 0.05), respectively. Upregulated miR-9 expression was also associated with increased cell proliferation (P &lt; 0.05), migration (P &lt; 0.05), and invasion (P &lt; 0.05), and decreased apoptotic ability (P &lt; 0.05). These results suggest that miR-9 may play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression in osteosarcoma.
