Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a common primary malignant bone tumor with a high incidence in children and adolescents, with high invasiveness and lung metastases. Even after traditional surgical excision, chemoradiotherapy, and comprehensive treatment, the survival rate of patients is still low, and the prognosis is not ideal. As an important part of non-coding RNA family, lncRNA and miRNA have significant regulatory effects on the growth, proliferation, metastasis and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells. Therefore, exploring the roles of lncRNAs and miRNAs in the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma is of great help for the subsequent diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of osteosarcoma. This paper mainly reviews the current research progress on the effects and mechanisms of lncRNAs and miRNAs on osteosarcoma cells, in order to provide new ideas for future research on the development process, treatment methods, and prognosis of osteosarcoma.

Keywords: Osteosarcoma; Tumor; lncRNA; miRNA.
