ABSTRACT = {Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) has been confirmed to be involved in the 
progression of various cancers; however, its mechanism of action in osteosarcoma has not been well addressed. 
In our study, TUG1 was overexpressed and miR-153 was downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. 
A loss-of-function assay showed that TUG1 knockdown suppressed the viability, colony formation, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Moreover, TUG1 was confirmed to be an miR-153 sponge. Ectopic expression of TUG1 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-153 on the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. 
Further transplantation experiments proved the carcinogenesis of TUG1 in osteosarcoma in vivo. Collectively, 
our study elucidated that TUG1 contributes to the development of osteosarcoma by sponging miR-153. These 
findings may provide a novel lncRNA-targeted therapy for patients with osteosarcoma.},
