In multiple myeloma (MM), abnormal plasma cells accumulate and proliferate in the bone marrow. Recently, we observed that Runx2, a bone-specific transcription factor, is highly expressed in MM cells and is a major driver of MM progression in bone. The primary goal of the present study was to identify Runx2-targeting miRNAs that can reduce tumor growth. Expression analysis of a panel of miRNAs in MM patient specimens, compared with healthy control specimens, revealed that metastatic MM cells express low levels of miR-342 and miR-363 but high levels of Runx2. Reconstituting MM cells (CAG) with miR-342 and miR-363 reduced the abundance of Runx2 and the expression of metastasis-promoting Runx2 target genes RANKL and DKK1, and suppressed Runx2-downstream signaling pathways Akt/β-catenin/survivin, which are required for MM tumor progression. Intravenous injection of MM cells (5TGM1), stably overexpressing miR-342 and miR-363 alone or together, into syngenic C57Bl/KaLwRij mice resulted in a significant suppression of 5TGM1 cell growth, decreased osteoclasts and increased osteoblasts, and increased anti-tumor immunity in the bone marrow, compared to mice injected with 5TGM1 cells expressing a miR-Scramble control. In summary, these results demonstrate that enhanced expression of miR-342 and miR-363 in MM cells inhibits Runx2 expression and MM growth, decreases osteolysis, and enhances anti-tumor immunity. Thus, restoring the function of Runx2-targeting by miR-342 and miR-363 in MM cells may afford a therapeutic benefit by preventing MM progression. miR-342 and miR-363-mediated downregulation of Runx2 expression in MM cells prevents MM progression.
