Yang J, Lou S, Yao T. Trends in primary malignant bone cancer incidence and mortality in the United States, 2000-2017: A population-based study. J Bone Oncol 2024; 46:100607. [PMID: 38778835 PMCID: PMC11109025 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbo.2024.100607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Primary malignant bone cancers have extremely low incidence, resulting in poor evaluation of their epidemiological characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate trends in the incidence of primary malignant bone cancers and related mortality. Materials and methods Data from patients diagnosed with malignant bone cancers from 2000 to 2017 in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database were retrospectively analyzed. Annual age-adjusted incidence and mortality were calculated, and the annual percentage change analyzed. Further, characteristics including patient age and sex, as well as the primary site and stage of different tumor types, were analyzed. Results The overall age-adjusted incidence rate of primary malignant bone cancers was 7.70 per million people per year, and incidence rates had increased in patients between 60 and 79 years old, or with tumor size ≥ 8 cm. The incidence of chordoma increased significantly (annual percentage change (APC), 3.0 % per year), while those of WHO grade I and II primary bone cancers decreased. During 2000-2017, the mortality rate attributable to malignant bone cancers across the entire United States was 4.41 per million people per year. A positive mortality trend was observed during the study period (APC = 0.7 %, 95 % confidence interval: 0.0 %-1.5 %). Patients with osteosarcoma, and those who were female or of white ethnicity showed significant increasing trends in mortality rate. Conclusions Different tumor types have variable epidemiological manifestations, in terms of incidence and mortality, and exhibited altered trends over recent years. These variables can provide guidance to inform allocation of medical resources.

[PMID: 38575425 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2024.102565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma displays a bimodal peak in incidence in adolescence and later adulthood. Males are more frequently diagnosed with osteosarcoma in both periods. Males have worse survival than females, which is generally poor at 30-70% 5-years post diagnosis, depending on age, but treatment received is often unaccounted for in survival analyses. METHODS Therefore, we estimated sex differences in survival for children and adults stratifying by treatment received and other disease characteristics using the National Cancer Database (2004-2016, n=9017). We estimated sex differences in long-term survival using Kaplan Meier survival curves and Log-Rank p-values. We also estimated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as the measure of association between sex and death using Cox regression. RESULTS In all age groups, cases were predominantly male (52-58%). In Kaplan-Meier analyses, males had worse overall survival than females for 0-19, 20-39, and ≥60-year-olds (Log-Rank p<0.05). Females had higher 5- and 10-year survival percentages in all age groups. In adjusted Cox models, males had a higher risk of death among 0-19-year-olds (HRoverall: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.06-1.44; HRnon-metastatic disease: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.63, HRlower limb tumors: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.09-1.59). Among 20-39-year-olds, males had an increased risk of death when receiving surgery only (HR: 4.67, 95% CI: 1.44, 15.09). Among those ≥60-year-olds, males had a suggestive increased risk of death overall (HR: 1.17, 95% CI: 0.99-1.39) and a higher risk of death based on some tumor locations, (HRupper limb: 2.52, 95% CI: 1.24, 5.11; HRmidline: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.82). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the worse survival among young males compared to females with osteosarcoma persisted after accounting for many major disease characteristics, including treatment received. Collectively, our work points toward other unexplored mechanisms beyond treatment, potentially biologic or otherwise, which may be driving the observed sex differences in long-term survival.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors are a group of rare malignant tumors and our study aimed to update the recent epidemiologic estimates based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. Patients diagnosed with malignant bone tumors from 2000 to 2019 were included and their characteristics were retrospectively described. The limited-duration prevalence, annual age-adjusted incidence and mortality were calculated, and the annual percentage changes were analyzed to quantify the rate change. Finally, observed survival and relative survival rate were illustrated. Subgroup analysis across tumor type, age, gender, tumor Grade, primary tumor site and stage was also performed. As for results, a total of 11 655 eligible patients with malignant bone tumor were selected. Osteosarcoma was the most common tumor type, followed by chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chordoma. The estimated limited-duration prevalence of malignant bone tumors increased from 2000 (0.00069%) to 2018 (0.00749%). Steady age-adjusted incidence was observed in all patients during the study period while the highest rate occurred in osteosarcoma. Mortality rates differed in subgroups while elder patients (older than 64 years) presented the highest mortality rate compared to other age groups. In all bone tumors, the 10-year observed survival and relative survival rates were 58.0% and 61.9%, respectively. Chondrosarcoma patients had the best survival outcome, followed by osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chordoma and other bone tumors. In conclusion, different epidemiologic performance in incidence and mortality was observed across tumor type as well as other demographic and clinicopathological variables, which provide potential suggestion for further adjustment of medical resource.

The mitochondrial energy metabolism pathway-related signature predicts prognosis and indicates immune microenvironment infiltration in osteosarcoma. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e36046. [PMID: 37986397 PMCID: PMC10659617 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in the mitochondrial energy metabolism pathways are closely related to the occurrence and development of many cancers. Furthermore, abnormal genes in mitochondrial energy metabolism pathways may be novel targets and biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma. In this study, we aimed to establish a mitochondrial energy metabolism-related gene signature for osteosarcoma prognosis. METHODS We first obtained differentially expressed genes based on the metastatic status of 84 patients with osteosarcoma from the TARGET database. After Venn analysis of differentially expressed genes and mitochondrial energy metabolism pathway-related genes (MMRGs), 2 key genes were obtained using univariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. Next, we used these 2 genes to establish a prognostic signature. Subsequent analyses elucidated the correlation between these 2 key genes with clinical features and 28 types of immune cells. Pathway changes in osteosarcoma pathogenesis under different metastatic states were clarified using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of differentially expressed genes. RESULTS A gene signature composed of 2 key prognosis-related genes (KCNJ5 and PFKFB2) was identified. A risk score was calculated based on the gene signature, which divided osteosarcoma patients into low- or high-risk groups that showed good and poor prognosis, respectively. High expression of these 2 key genes is associated with low-risk group in patients with osteosarcoma. We constructed an accurate nomogram to help clinicians assess the survival time of patients with osteosarcoma. The results of immune cell infiltration level showed that the high-risk group had lower levels of immune cell infiltration. GSEA revealed changes in immune regulation and hypoxia stress pathways in osteosarcoma under different metastatic states. CONCLUSION Our study identified an excellent gene signature that could be helpful in improving the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.

A TLR4 Agonist Induces Osteosarcoma Regression by Inducing an Antitumor Immune Response and Reprogramming M2 Macrophages to M1 Macrophages. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4635. [PMID: 37760603 PMCID: PMC10526955 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15184635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OsA) has limited treatment options and stagnant 5-year survival rates. Its immune microenvironment is characterized by a predominance of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), whose role in OsA progression remain unclear. Nevertheless, immunotherapies aiming to modulate macrophages activation and polarization could be of interest for OsA treatment. In this study, the antitumor effect of a liposome-encapsulated chemically detoxified lipopolysaccharide (Lipo-MP-LPS) was evaluated as a therapeutic approach for OsA. Lipo-MP-LPS is a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist sufficiently safe and soluble to be IV administered at effective doses. Lipo-MP-LPS exhibited a significant antitumor response, with tumor regression in 50% of treated animals and delayed tumor progression in the remaining 50%. The agent inhibited tumor growth by 75%, surpassing the efficacy of other immunotherapies tested in OsA. Lipo-MP-LPS modulated OsA's immune microenvironment by favoring the transition of M2 macrophages to M1 phenotype, creating a proinflammatory milieu and facilitating T-cell recruitment and antitumor immune response. Overall, the study demonstrates the potent antitumor effect of Lipo-MP-LPS as monotherapy in an OsA immunocompetent model. Reprogramming macrophages and altering the immune microenvironment likely contribute to the observed tumor control. These findings support the concept of immunomodulatory approaches for the treatment of highly resistant tumors like OsA.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is one of the most common childhood bone malignancies. Although chemotherapy protocol including methotrexate is an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, some other regimens have excluded it because of its complications. Methods This retrospective study was conducted on 93 children younger than 15 years old who were diagnosed with osteosarcomafrom March 2007 to January 2020. Two chemotherapy protocols were administrated for patients, namely, DCM protocol (Doxorubicin-Cisplatin-Methotrexate) and German protocol (excluding methotrexate). All statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS-25 software. Results Among patients, 47.31% were male. Patients' age ranged from 3 to 15 with the mean of 10.41 ± 0.32 years. Femur was the most frequent primary tumor site (59.14%), followed by tibia (22.58%). Metastasis rate at diagnosis was 17.20% in our study. Furthermore, the 5-year overall survival (OS) of total patients was 37.3 ± 7.5%, whereas the 5-year OS of males and females was 33.6 ± 10.9% and 39.8 ± 10.6%, respectively. The 5-year OS of methotrexate regimen was 15.6 ± 9.6%, whereas that of methotrexate-free protocol was 50.2 ± 9.0%. Conclusions Female patients had better survival rates than males. In addition, the chemotherapy protocol excluding methotrexate significantly increased the overall and event free survival of patients.

Is the Number of National Database Research Studies in Musculoskeletal Sarcoma Increasing, and Are These Studies Reliable? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2023; 481:491-508. [PMID: 35767810 PMCID: PMC9928832 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large national databases have become a common source of information on patterns of cancer care in the United States, particularly for low-incidence diseases such as sarcoma. Although aggregating information from many hospitals can achieve statistical power, this may come at a cost when complex variables must be abstracted from the medical record. There is a current lack of understanding of the frequency of use of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and the National Cancer Database (NCDB) over the last two decades in musculoskeletal sarcoma research and whether their use tends to produce papers with conflicting findings. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is the number of published studies using the SEER and NCDB databases in musculoskeletal sarcoma research increasing over time? (2) What are the author, journal, and content characteristics of these studies? (3) Do studies using the SEER and the NCDB databases for similar diagnoses and study questions report concordant or discordant key findings? (4) Are the administrative data reported by our institution to the SEER and the NCDB databases concordant with the data in our longitudinally maintained, physician-run orthopaedic oncology dataset? METHODS To answer our first three questions, PubMed was searched from 2001 through 2020 for all studies using the SEER or the NCDB databases to evaluate sarcoma. Studies were excluded from the review if they did not use these databases or studied anatomic locations other than the extremities, nonretroperitoneal pelvis, trunk, chest wall, or spine. To answer our first question, the number of SEER and NCDB studies were counted by year. The publication rate over the 20-year span was assessed with simple linear regression modeling. The difference in the mean number of studies between 5-year intervals (2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015, 2016-2020) was also assessed with Student t-tests. To answer our second question, we recorded and summarized descriptive data regarding author, journal, and content for these studies. To answer our third question, we grouped all studies by diagnosis, and then identified studies that shared the same diagnosis and a similar major study question with at least one other study. We then categorized study questions (and their associated studies) as having concordant findings, discordant findings, or mixed findings. Proportions of studies with concordant, discordant, or mixed findings were compared. To answer our fourth question, a coding audit was performed assessing the concordance of nationally reported administrative data from our institution with data from our longitudinally maintained, physician-run orthopaedic oncology dataset in a series of patients during the past 3 years. Our orthopaedic oncology dataset is maintained on a weekly basis by the senior author who manually records data directly from the medical record and sarcoma tumor board consensus notes; this dataset served as the gold standard for data comparison. We compared date of birth, surgery date, margin status, tumor size, clinical stage, and adjuvant treatment. RESULTS The number of musculoskeletal sarcoma studies using the SEER and the NCDB databases has steadily increased over time in a linear regression model (β = 2.51; p < 0.001). The mean number of studies per year more than tripled during 2016-2020 compared with 2011-2015 (39 versus 13 studies; mean difference 26 ± 11; p = 0.03). Of the 299 studies in total, 56% (168 of 299) have been published since 2018. Nineteen institutions published more than five studies, and the most studies from one institution was 13. Orthopaedic surgeons authored 35% (104 of 299) of studies, and medical oncology journals published 44% (130 of 299). Of the 94 studies (31% of total [94 of 299]) that shared a major study question with at least one other study, 35% (33 of 94) reported discordant key findings, 29% (27 of 94) reported mixed key findings, and 44% (41 of 94) reported concordant key findings. Both concordant and discordant groups included papers on prognostic factors, demographic factors, and treatment strategies. When we compared nationally reported administrative data from our institution with our orthopaedic oncology dataset, we found clinically important discrepancies in adjuvant treatment (19% [15 of 77]), tumor size (21% [16 of 77]), surgery date (23% [18 of 77]), surgical margins (38% [29 of 77]), and clinical stage (77% [59 of 77]). CONCLUSION Appropriate use of databases in musculoskeletal cancer research is essential to promote clear interpretation of findings, as almost two-thirds of studies we evaluated that asked similar study questions produced discordant or mixed key findings. Readers should be mindful of the differences in what each database seeks to convey because asking the same questions of different databases may result in different answers depending on what information each database captures. Likewise, differences in how studies determine which patients to include or exclude, how they handle missing data, and what they choose to emphasize may result in different messages getting drawn from large-database studies. Still, given the rarity and heterogeneity of sarcomas, these databases remain particularly useful in musculoskeletal cancer research for nationwide incidence estimations, risk factor/prognostic factor assessment, patient demographic and hospital-level variable assessment, patterns of care over time, and hypothesis generation for future prospective studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

NSUN2 promotes osteosarcoma progression by enhancing the stability of FABP5 mRNA via m 5C methylation. Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:125. [PMID: 36792587 PMCID: PMC9932088 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-05646-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification, which is mainly induced by the RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun domain family, member 2), is an important chemical posttranscriptional modification in mRNA and has been proven to play important roles in the progression of many cancers. However, the functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of NSUN2-mediated m5C in osteosarcoma (OS) remain unclear. In this study, we found NSUN2 was highly expressed in OS tissues and cells. We also discovered that higher expression of NSUN2 predicted poorer prognosis of OS patients. Our study showed that NSUN2 could promote the progression of OS cells. Moreover, we employed RNA sequencing, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and methylated RIP to screen and validate the candidate targets of NSUN2 and identified FABP5 as the target. We observed that NSUN2 stabilized FABP5 mRNA by inducing m5C modification and further promoted fatty acid metabolism in OS cells. Moreover, both knocking down the expression of FABP5 and adding fatty acid oxidation inhibitor could counterbalance the promoting effect of NSUN2 on the progression of OS. Our study confirms that NSUN2 can up-regulate the expression of FABP5 by improving the stability of FABP5 mRNA via m5C, so as to promote fatty acid metabolism in OS cells, and finally plays the role in promoting the progression of OS. Our findings suggest that NSUN2 is a promising prognostic marker for OS patients and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for OS treatment. A schematic illustration was proposed to summarize our findings.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of the bone in children and adolescents. The five-year survival rate is estimated to be ~70% based on the currently available treatment modalities. It is well known that tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) that are the most important components in the tumor microenvironment can exert a killing effect on tumor cells. Therefore, in the present study, 85 RNA-sequencing OS samples were categorized into high- and low-immune score groups with ESTIAMATE. Based on the immune score groups, 474 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were acquired using the LIMMA package of R language. Subsequently, 86 DEGs were taken through univariate COX regression analysis, of which 14 were screened out by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis. Furthermore, multivariate COX regression analysis was performed to obtain 4 DEGs. Finally, ecotropic virus integration site 2B (EVI2B) or CD361 gene was screened out via Kaplan-Meier analysis. In addition, CIBERSORT algorithm was used to evaluate the proportion of 22 kinds of TIICs in OS. Correlation analysis revealed that the high expression level of EVI2B can elevate the infiltrated proportion of CD8+ T cells. Moreover, analysis of single cell RNA-sequencing transcriptome datasets and immunohistochemical staining uncovered that EVI2B was mainly expressed on CD8+ T cells and that EVI2B could promote the expression of granzyme A and K of CD8+ T cells to exhibit a potent killing effect on tumor cells. Therefore, EVI2B was identified as a protective immune-related gene and contributed to good prognosis in OS patients.

Abstract
Objective Spinal osteosarcoma is a rare osseous neoplasm. The aim of this study is to make a comprehensive analysis of the demographic features, clinicopathologic characteristics and factors affecting prognosis of spinal osteosarcoma using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Methods SEER data were reviewed to identify patients diagnosed with spinal osteosarcoma between 1975 and 2016 and determine their overall survival (OS) and disease-specifc survival (DSS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox-regression proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 668 patients (53.1% males) with spinal osteosarcoma were identified. The mean age at diagnosis was 45.2 years, including 67.5% patients younger than 60 years. The median OS of these patients was 15 months, and the 5-year OS was 16.8%. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥60 year (HR=2.271, p = 0.008), high grade (HR=1.323, p = 0.008), regional stage (HR=1.658, p = 0.017), metastasis stage (HR=3.045, p < 0.001) and no-surgery treatment (HR=1.761, p < 0.001) were adversely associated with OS; gender (HR=0.657, p = 0.044), tumor grade (HR=1.616, p = 0.006), tumor stage (HR=3.329, p = 0.011; HR=7.983, p < 0.001) and radiotherapy (HR=0.606, p = 0.031) were independent prognostic factors affecting DSS. Conclusion Based on SEER data analysis, male, high tumor grade, regional stage, metastasis stage and radiotherapy are independent predictors of poor survival of patients with spinal osteosarcoma. The clinical treatment of spinal osteosarcoma still faces serious challenges. Future research should focus on the clinical impact and survival outcomes of the emerging targeted and immune therapies for the sake of improving the survival stalemate of spinal osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Background The study aims to identify whether osteosarcoma patients of children and young adults will benefit from a survival profit from the choice of the operation method. Methods The National Cancer Institute SEER database from 2000 to 2018 was selected for a retrospective analysis of 1630 children and young adults with a primary diagnosis of osteosarcoma, 1222 who underwent limb-preserving surgery, and 408 who underwent amputation. Confounders were controlled for by propensity score matching (PSM), cancer-specific survival (CSS) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of children and young osteosarcoma patients after surgery. A nomogram plot predicted 1-, 3-, and 5- survival rate in osteosarcoma. The model's accuracy was validated by the area under the ROC and calibration curves. Results After PSM, multifactor Cox regression analysis found AJCC Stage III-IV (CSS : HR = 5.26, 95% CI 1.95-14.18, p=0. 001; HR = 5.54, 95% CI 2.56-12.01, p < 0. 001. Limb salvage surgery (CSS : HR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.44-0.77, p < 0. 001) has independent impact factors for CSS prognosis. The survival curve before and after PSM showed that patients with osteosarcoma of children and young adults who underwent limb salvage surgery had a survival benefit compared with those who underwent amputation surgery. Gender, chemotherapy, histology, primary tumor site, stage, and surgical modality were modeled in a total of six variables in the nomogram. The model exhibited good predictive performance. The AUC were 0.823, 0.74, and 0.757 for training set at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The AUC of validation set 0.666, 0.722, and 0.699 at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The model also predicted CSS with good fidelity for both datasets. This model was significantly superior to the 8th edition of the AJCC TNM staging system, with a better net benefit in predicting CSS in children and young adults with osteosarcoma. Conclusion Limb salvage surgery is an option for children and young adults with osteosarcoma and cancer-specific survival rates can be improved by receiving limb salvage surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Expandable endoprostheses can be used to equalize limb length for pediatric patients requiring reconstruction following large bony oncologic resections. Outcomes of the Compress® Compliant Pre-Stress (CPS) spindle paired with an Orthopedic Salvage System expandable distal femur endoprosthesis have not been reported. METHODS We conducted a multi-institutional retrospective study of pediatric patients with distal femoral bone sarcomas reconstructed with the above endoprostheses. Statistical analysis utilized Kaplan-Meier survival technique and competing risk analysis. RESULTS Thirty-six patients were included from five institutions. Spindle survivorship was 86.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 67.7-93.5) at 10 years. Two patients had a failure of osseointegration (5.7%), both within 12 months. Twenty-two (59%) patients had 70 lengthening procedures, with mean expansions of 3.2 cm (range: 1-9) over 3.4 surgeries. The expandable mechanism failed in eight patients with a cumulative incidence of 16.1% (95% CI, 5.6-31.5) at 5 years. Twenty-nine patients sustained International Society of Limb Salvage failures requiring 63 unplanned surgeries. Periprosthetic joint infection occurred in six patients (16.7%). Limb preservation rate was 91% at 10 years. CONCLUSIONS There is a high rate of osseointegration of the Compress® spindle among pediatric patients when coupled with an expandable implant. However, there is a high rate of expansion mechanism failure and prosthetic joint infections requiring revision surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might be implicated in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma (OS). Numerous studies involving SNPs with OS risk have been reported; these results, however, remain controversial and no comprehensive research synopsis has been performed till now. Objective This study seeks to clarify the relationships between SNPs and OS risk using a comprehensive meta-analysis, and assess epidemiological evidence of significant associations. Methods The PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline were used to screen for articles that evaluated the association between SNP and OS susceptibility in humans before 24 December 2021. Furthermore, we used Venice Criteria and a false positive report probability (FPRP) test to assess the grades of epidemiological evidence for the statistical relationships. Results We extracted useful data based on 43 articles, including 10,255 cases and 13,733 controls. Our results presented that 25 SNPs in 17 genes were significantly associated with OS risk. Finally, we graded strong evidence for 17 SNPs in 14 genes with OS risk (APE1 rs1760944, BCAS1 rs3787547, CTLA4 rs231775, ERCC3 rs4150506, HOTAIR rs7958904, IL6 rs1800795, IL8 rs4073, MTAP rs7023329 and rs7027989, PRKCG rs454006, RECQL5 rs820196, TP53 rs1042522, VEGF rs3025039, rs699947 and rs2010963, VMP1 rs1295925, XRCC3 rs861539), moderate for 14 SNPs in 12 genes and weak for 14 SNPs in 11 genes. Conclusion In summary, this study offered a comprehensive meta-analysis between SNPs and OS susceptibility, then evaluated the credibility of statistical relationships, and provided useful information to identify the appropriate candidate SNPs and design future studies to evaluate SNP factors for OS risk.

Abstract
Introduction The burden of cancer-related mortality of common malignancies has been reported worldwide. However, whether bone cancer (BC), as a highly aggressive and heterogeneous group of rare cancers, followed a similar or distinct epidemiological pattern during such process remains largely unknown. We aimed to analyze the mortality and the temporal trends of BC in relation to gender, age, and premature death in Shanghai, China. Methods We conducted a population-based analysis of the mortality data of BC in Shanghai Pudong New Area (PNA) from 2005 to 2020. The epidemiological characteristics and long-term trends in crude mortality rates (CMRs), age-standardized mortality rates worldwide (ASMRWs), and rate of years of life lost (YLL) was analyzed using the Joinpoint regression program. The demographic and non-demographic factors affecting the mortality rate were evaluated by the decomposition method. Results There are 519 BC-specific deaths accounting for 0.15% of all 336,823 deaths and 0.49% of cancer-specific death in PNA. The CMR and ASMRW of BC were 1.15/105 person-year and 0.61/105 person-year, respectively. The YLL due to premature death from BC was 6,539.39 years, with the age group of 60–69 years having the highest YLL of 1,440.79 years. The long-term trend of CMR, ASMRW, and YLL rate significantly decreased by −5.14%, −7.64%, and −7.27%, respectively, per year (all p < 0.05) in the past 16 years. However, the proportion of BC-specific death within the total cancer-specific death dropped to a plateau without further improvement since 2016, and a remarkable gender and age disparity was noticed in the observed reduction in mortality. Specifically, the elderly benefited less but accounted for a larger percentage of BC population in the last decades. Although the overall mortality of BC decreased, there was still a significant upward trend toward an increased mortality rate caused by the aging of the BC patients. Conclusion Our study provides novel insights on the epidemiological characteristics and longitudinal dynamics of BC in a fast urbanization and transitioning city. As a rare disease affecting all ages, the burden of BC among the elderly emerged to form an understudied and unmet medical need in an aging society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy. As a rare cancer, population-based studies remain small with limited information on finer demographic categories. Recent studies have reported important genetic differences based on age and ethnicity, and more detailed studies are needed to better understand potentially important osteosarcoma risk groups. METHODS Incidence and survival rates for 5016 patients with osteosarcoma from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program (1975-2017) were analyzed by age (0-9, 10-24, 25-59, and >60 years old), race/ethnicity, histologic subtype, stage, and tumor location using SEER*Stat software. RESULTS For cases 0 to 9 years old, incidence of primary osteosarcoma was similar between the sexes, increased significantly throughout the study period (P < .05), and the 5-year relative survival has steadily increased over time. Blacks had the highest incidence in all aged cases combined and a significant increase in incidence throughout the study period (P < .05). Overall, survival rates for all cases have remained relatively unchanged over recent decades, with worse survival observed in males, American Indian/Alaska Native cases, older patients, metastatic disease, axial tumors, and subsequent osteosarcoma cases. For cases 0 to 24 years old, the incidence of subsequent osteosarcoma increased 3-fold since the 2000s. CONCLUSION Important differences in osteosarcoma incidence and survival, particularly for the youngest children, ethnic minorities, and subsequent osteosarcoma, are identified. A genetic risk factor may be associated with observed ancestry-specific incidence differences and illustrates the importance of analyzing osteosarcoma by specific age groups and ethnicities to better understand their unique epidemiology and underlying biology. LAY SUMMARY Osteosarcoma is the most common bone cancer, but still a relatively rare disease, and previous studies have had limited information on finer demographics. Using a large database, osteosarcoma incidence and survival patterns are thoroughly evaluated and important differences, especially for the youngest children, ethnic minorities, and subsequent osteosarcoma cases, are identified.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common high-grade malignant bone tumor in teenagers. MicroRNAs can function as posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression, playing critical roles in cancer dev-877-3p in OS. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was carried out for detecting miR-877-3p expression in OS. The effects of miR-877-3p on proliferation was analyzed via MTT, colony formation, and flow cytometry assays. Angiogenesis of endothelial cells were investigated by wound healing and tube formation assay. Gene profiling based on PCR array and luciferase reporter assay were conducted to determine target genes of miR-877-3p. In-vivo study was used to determine the effects of miR-877-3p on the tumor growth. The expression of miR-877-3p was markedly downregulated in OS tissues and cell lines. Low expression of miR-877-3p predicts poor prognosis of OS patients. miR-877-3p overexpression was found to inhibit the proliferation of OS cell lines. The angiogenesis assays showed that miR-877-3p attenuated the angiogenesis. Further mechanism studies showed that miR-877-3p can reduce (Fibroblast Growth Factor 2) FGF2 expression in OS cells by binding to the 3’UTR end of FGF2. Moreover, increased expression of miR-877-3p was responsible for the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. Taken together, our findings indicated that miR-877-3p might exhibit tumor suppressive role by targeting FGF2 signaling, which may serve as potential target for OS.

Abstract
PIWI‑interacting RNA is a class of non‑coding small RNA that is ~30 nt long and is primarily found in mammalian germ cells from mice and humans. In cooperation with the members of PIWI protein family, this macromolecule participates in germ cell development, inhibits DNA self‑-replication and maintains genomic stability. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that PIWI‑interacting RNA (piRNAs) are abnormally expressed in various human cancers, such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, etc. piRNAs abnormal expression is also associated with the occurrence and development of human cancers, such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. Despite their unclear molecular mechanisms, piRNAs may act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors by interacting with multiple cancer‑related signal pathways including STAT3/Bcl‑xl or coding genes, such as heat shock transcription factor‑1. Hence, piRNAs may be potential markers and targets and provide new opportunities for cancer diagnosis, treatment or prognosis monitoring. The current review mainly aims to highlight the latest research progress made in the biological functions and regulation of piRNAs in mammals, their involvement in various cancer forms and their potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The present study aimed to develop nomograms to predict survival in patients with chondroblastic osteosarcoma (COS).An analysis was conducted of 320 cases of COS collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2015. Independent prognostic factors were screened using univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. Subsequently, nomograms were established to predict the patients' cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) rates. The prediction accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomograms were examined using calibration curves and the concordance index (C-index).As revealed in the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, tumor size, the primary site, the presence of metastasis, a history of having undergone surgery, and a history of having received radiotherapy were found to be independent prognostic factors associated with survival in patients with COS (all P < .05). Furthermore, age >39 years, the presence of distant metastasis, no history of having undergone any surgery, and tumor size >103 mm were found to be associated with poor prognosis in patients, while the primary site of the mandible and no history of having undergone radiotherapy showed associations with a more favorable prognosis in patients. Next, nomograms were constructed to predict the OS and CSS in patients with COS.We constructed nomograms that can provide accurate survival predictions in patients with chondroblastic osteosarcoma. These nomograms can help surgeons customize the treatment strategies for patients with chondroblastic osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Neohesperidin has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties and exerts extensive therapeutic effects on various cancers. In this study, the osteosarcoma cell lines were exposed to different concentrations of neohesperidin. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by CCK-8 and colony-formation assays. The role of neohesperidin in cell cycle progression and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and western blotting. To identify autophagosomes and autolysosomes, we used a tandem GFP-mRFP-LC3B lentiviral construct. In addition, autophagy was evaluated by examining autophagosome formation using transmission electron microscopy. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was detected by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Subsequently, the activation of the ROS/JNK signaling pathway was investigated. Neohesperidin could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in SJSA and HOS cells. The formation of autophagosomes indicated that autophagy occurred in neohesperidin-treated cells and the apoptotic effect of neohesperidin was significantly increased after the use of autophagy inhibitors. Subsequently, we found that neohesperidin-induced apoptosis and autophagy were related to the increase in ROS generation and were significantly inhibited by GSH. Moreover, neohesperidin induced activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway and inhibition of JNK with SP600125 attenuated neohesperidin-induced apoptosis and autophagy simultaneously. Our data indicated that neohesperidin caused G2/M phase arrest and induced apoptosis and autophagy by activating the ROS/JNK pathway in human osteosarcoma cells, suggesting that neohesperidin is a potential drug candidate for the treatment of osteosarcomas.

Clin Transl Med 2021; 11:e426. [PMID: 34185427 PMCID: PMC8181202 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 82] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis is the leading cause of tumor-related death in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been well documented to be involved in the progression of multiple cancers. Nevertheless, the role of lncRNAs in PCa bone metastasis remains largely unclear. METHODS The expression of prostate cancer-associated transcripts was analyzed in published datasets and further verified in clinical samples and cell lines by RT-qPCR and in situ hybridization assays. Colony formation assay, MTT assay, cell cycle analysis, EdU assay, Transwell migration and invasion assays, wound healing assay, and in vivo experiments were carried out to investigate the function of prostate cancer-associated transcript 6 (PCAT6) in bone metastasis and tumor growth of PCa. Bioinformatic analysis, RNA pull-down, and RIP assays were conducted to identify the proteins binding to PCAT6 and the potential targets of PCAT6. The therapeutic potential of targeting PCAT6 by antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) was further explored in vivo. RESULTS PCAT6 was upregulated in PCa tissues with bone metastasis and increased PCAT6 expression predicted poor prognosis in PCa patients. Functional experiments found that PCAT6 knockdown significantly inhibited PCa cell invasion, migration, and proliferation in vitro, as well as bone metastasis and tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, METTL3-mediated m6 A modification contributed to PCAT6 upregulation in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner. Furthermore, PCAT6 upregulated IGF1R expression by enhancing IGF1R mRNA stability through the PCAT6/IGF2BP2/IGF1R RNA-protein three-dimensional complex. Importantly, PCAT6 inhibition by ASO in vivo showed therapeutic potential against bone metastasis in PCa. Finally, the clinical correlation of METTL3, IGF2BP2, IGF1R, and PCAT6 was further demonstrated in PCa tissues and cells. CONCLUSIONS Our study uncovers a novel molecular mechanism by which the m6 A-induced PCAT6/IGF2BP2/IGF1R axis promotes PCa bone metastasis and tumor growth, suggesting that PCAT6 may serve as a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic target against bone-metastatic PCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 10-20% of osteosarcoma patients present with metastasis on diagnosis. Completely resecting the lesion is associated with better prognosis. However, evidence regarding optimal surgical strategies for patients with unresectable metastasis is limited. METHODS This retrospective analysis was based on the Japanese Nationwide Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor registry. In total, 335 patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma with metastasis were included. Factors affecting overall survival were identified using multivariate analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival by the status of surgical intervention. Two hundred and four patients who did not undergo surgery for metastasis were divided into two groups, depending on whether they underwent surgery for the primary lesion. The background differences between these two groups were adjusted with propensity score matching, with 43 patients per group. The overall survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with a log-rank test. RESULTS Factors positively impacting overall survival were age <40, female sex, extremity origin, surgery for the primary lesions, surgery for metastasis and radiotherapy without surgery. For patients with unresectable metastasis, after propensity score matching, the survival rate was higher in the group that underwent primary lesion surgery than the group without surgery. Their median survival was 19 (95% confidence interval: 11.7-26.3) and 11 months (95% confidence interval: 4.5-17.5) (P = 0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgical resection of the primary osteosarcoma lesion did not worsen prognosis, even in patients with unresectable metastasis. Further study is needed to identify which patient group will benefit from primary lesion resection.

Abstract
Leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 has been extensively explored because of its protective function in cell homeostasis and correlation with osteogenesis imperfect. Human osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone with multiple and complex genomic aberrations. However, the functional role of leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 is still unknown in osteosarcoma. Thus we performed this study to explain the leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 effect in osteosarcoma. Gene arrays of human osteosarcoma were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to assess the expression of leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 in osteosarcoma cell lines. Then we attenuated leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 expression in MG63 cells by siRNA strategy and assessed the effect of leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion through in-vitro experiments. Additionally, we detected the role of leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 knockdown on PI3K/AKT pathway-related proteins using western blotting. Leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 was increased in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. The overall survival curve demonstrated that high-regulated leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 was linked with poor prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. The capabilities of proliferation, migration and invasion were all inhibited in MG63 cell because of the downregulation of leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1. Furthermore, the expression of phosphorylated PI3K and AKT was impaired after knockdown the leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 as well as P70S6K. In conclusion, leucine proline-enriched proteoglycan 1 might function as an important therapeutic factor in human osteosarcoma through regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is commonly known as a bone malignancy, causing a mass of lethality worldwide. Long coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely reported by documents that they exert important functions in the development of cancers. However, the relative mechanism of lncRNA SOX21-AS1 needs to be fully discovered in OS, as it has never been studied in the past. AIM OF THE STUDY To find out how SOX21-AS1 materializes its function in OS. METHODS qRT-PCR detected RNA expression, and western blot tested the protein level. CCK8 and TUNEL assays were performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis. Next, Transwell analyses were applied to identify OS cell migration and invasion. Luciferase reporter, RIP and RNA pull-down experiments were employed for investigating the relationships among RNAs. RESULTS SOX21-AS1 had high expression in OS, and its presence accelerated OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Interestingly, we evidenced that SOX21-AS1 sponged miR-7-5p, which then targeted IRS2 in OS cells. SOX21-AS1 competed with IRS2 in binding to miR-7-5p, which formulated the ceRNA signaling in OS. SOX21-AS1 could negatively regulate miR-7-5p expression. Rescue experiments certified that the enhancement of IRS2 would neutralize the inhibition of SOX21-AS1 depletion on OS cell proliferation and metastasis. CONCLUSIONS SOX21-AS1 enhances IRS2 level by absorbing miR-7-5p, so as to boost the progression of OS.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a common primary bone cancer that there are currently no effective treatment strategies for. Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) is key in the development of osteosarcoma, and microRNA (miR)-216b serves an antitumor role by targeting FoxM1. Moreover, thiostrepton (TST), a natural thiazole antibiotic, induces antitumor effects and specifically targets FoxM1. Therefore, the present study investigated whether thiostrepton and miR-216b synergistically inhibited osteosarcoma cells by targeting FoxM1. The MTT assay, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, a dual-luciferase reporter assay and flow cytometry were performed. Compared with the human osteoblast cell line hFOB1.19, miR-216b expression was significantly downregulated in the osteosarcoma cell lines U2OS, MG63 and Saos-2. By contrast, FoxM1 expression was significantly upregulated in osteosarcoma cell lines compared with the hFOB1.19 cell line. The results indicated that miR-216b targeted the 3′-untranslated region of FoxM1. Moreover, the results suggested that miR-216b cooperated with TST to decrease cell cytotoxicity and increase cell apoptosis. In addition, miR-216b cooperated with TST to increase Bax expression and decrease Bcl-2 expression. In conclusion, the combination of TST and miR-216b synergistically promoted osteosarcoma cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis by targeting FoxM1. Therefore, the present study suggested that the combination of TST and miR-216b may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
We aimed to establish and validate a nomogram for predicting the disease-specific survival of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) patients.The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database was used to identify ILC from 2010 to 2015, in which the data was extracted from 18 registries in the US. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors and a nomogram was constructed to predict the 3-year and 5-year survival rates of ILC patients based on Cox regression. Predictive values were compared between the new model and the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system using the concordance index, calibration plots, integrated discrimination improvement, net reclassification improvement, and decision-curve analyses.In total, 4155 patients were identified. After multivariate Cox regression analysis, nomogram was established based on a new model containing the predictive variables of age, the primary tumor site, histology grade, American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM (tumor node metastasis) stages II, III, and IV, breast cancer subtype, therapy modality (surgery and chemotherapy). The concordance index for the training and validation cohorts were higher for the new model (0.781 and 0.832, respectively) than for the old model (0.733 and 0.779). The new model had good performance in the calibration plots. Net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement were also improved. Finally, decision-curve analyses demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful.We have developed a reliable nomogram for determining the prognosis and treatment outcomes of ILC. The new model facilitates the choosing of superior medical examinations and the optimizing of therapeutic regimens with cooperation among oncologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the roles of lncRNA SNHG10 (SNHG10) and miR-218 in osteosarcoma (OS). METHODS Paired OS and non-tumor tissues were collected from 58 OS patients. The expression of SNHG10 and miR-218 in tissue samples were determined by RT-qPCR. The interaction between SNHG10 and miR-218 was evaluated by overexpression experiment. Methylation-specific PCR was performed to assess the methylation status of miR-218. Glucose uptake in OS cells was analyzed by glucose uptake assay. Cell proliferation was detected by cell proliferation assay. RESULTS SNHG10 was upregulated in OS, while miR-218 was downregulated in OS. The expression of SNHG10 and miR-218 were inversely correlated. In OS cells, high glucose induced the upregulation of SNHG10 and downregulation of miR-218. In OS cells, SNHG10 positively, and miR-218 negatively regulated glucose uptake. Overexpression of SNHG10 increased miR-218 gene methylation and decreased the expression of miR-218. In addition, overexpression of SNHG10 also suppressed the inhibitory effects of overexpression of miR-218 on cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS SNHG10 increases the methylation of miR-218 gene to promote glucose uptake and cell proliferation in OS.

Long non-coding RNA CCHE1 participates in postoperative distant recurrence but not local recurrence of osteosarcoma possibly by interacting with ROCK1. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2020; 21:462. [PMID: 32660450 PMCID: PMC7359221 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-3184-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2019] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical treatment of osteosarcoma suffers from high recurrence rate. Therefore, is of great clinical values to develop predictive markers for recurrent osteosarcoma. Cervical carcinoma high-expressed lncRNA 1 (lncRNA CCHE1) participates in several types of malignancies, while its functionality in osteosarcoma is unknown. This study was therefore carried out to explore the involvement of lncRNA CCHE1 in recurrent osteosarcoma. METHODS A total of 87 osteosarcoma patients received surgical resection and 38 healthy volunteers were included in this study. The 87 osteosarcoma patients were followed up for 5 years to record the recurrence of osteosarcoma. Plasma levels of lncRNA CCHE1 and ROCK1 on the day of discharge and during follow-up were measured by real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA, respectively. The effects of CCHE1 siRNA silencing on ROCK1 expression were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot. Transwell assay was performed to analyze the role of lncRNA CCHE1 and ROCK1 in regulating cell invasion and migration. RESULTS We observed that, on the day of discharge, plasma lncRNA CCHE1 was upregulated in osteosarcoma patients who developed distant recurrence (DR) during follow-up than in osteosarcoma patients who developed local recurrence (LR), patients with non-recurrence (NR) and healthy controls. On the day of discharge, plasma levels of ROCK1 were higher in DR, LR and NR groups in comparison to healthy controls. On the day of discharge, plasma levels of lncRNA CCHE1 were positively correlated with plasma levels of ROCK1 only in patients who developed DR during follow-up, but not in patients who developed LR, NR and control groups. During follow-up, plasma levels of lncRNA CCHE1 were further increased in DR group but slightly decreased in LR and NR groups. LncRNA CCHE1 siRNA silencing inhibited, while ROCK1 overexpression promoted osteosarcoma cell invasion and migration. ROCK1 overexpression attenuated the role of CCHE1. LncRNA CCHE1 siRNA silencing led to inhibited ROCK1 expression in cancer cells. CONCLUSION Therefore, lncRNA CCHE1 may participate in postoperative distant recurrence of osteosarcoma caner possibly by interacting with ROCK1 to promote cancer cell invasion and migration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is an evaluation of the overall survival rate and factors affecting survival in patients with osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma. This study aimed to determine the effect of factors related to the preoperative period, patient, tumor, treatment, and postoperative period on survival. METHODS A total of 114 patients (64 male and 50 female) with osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma treated between 2005 and 2013 were included in this study. All the patients received standard treatment and were followed up regularly. In all, 44 cases of (conventional and telangiectatic) osteosarcoma, 30 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, and 40 cases of high-grade chondrosarcoma were identified using the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry. Gender, age, tumor size and localization, pathological fractures, histopathological type, grade, surgical treatment, adjuvant treatments, relapse of the disease, and postoperative complication data were obtained from follow-up forms. The learning curve of institutional expertise was also evaluated. The patient survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank statistical methods were used to compare survival rates. RESULTS The mean length of survival of the patients was 72 months. There was a 56% 5-year survival rate, and the event-free survival rate was 53%. The survival of patients with Ewing's sarcoma whose prodromal period was less than 12 weeks was significantly higher than that of the other groups (p=0.031). The survival of patients with tumor size greater than 150 cc, with local recurrence and distant metastases was low for all groups. Survival rates were significantly lower in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma patients with stage III tumor or metastasis at diagnosis. The survival of patients with osteosarcoma diagnosed between 2010 and 2013 was significantly higher than that of the earlier group (p=0.02). CONCLUSION Decreasing the prodromal period (early diagnosis) can improve survival by preventing the local and systemic spread of the tumor. Increase in the surgical experience is likely to have a positive effect on survival rates, especially for patients with osteosarcoma. The relapse of the disease is a poor prognostic factor for survival despite aggressive surgery and adjuvant therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, Therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to assess the survival, function, radiographic appearance, and modes of failure of extracorporeal irradiated (ECI) autografts in a long-term setting. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 87 patients who were treated for bone and soft tissue tumors using ECI autografts between 1988 and 2009. RESULTS The 56 patients had a minimum follow-up of 10 years, and the median follow-up period was 16.5 years. The reimplantation procedures included 24 osteoarticular grafts, 16 intercalary grafts, 10 autograft-prosthetic composite grafts, and 6 hemicortical grafts. The 15-year graft and event-free survival rates were 76.8% and 47.9%, respectively. Infection and structural failure were the most common reasons for additional surgery. The time for additional surgery was significantly longer in patients with composite grafts (P < .01). The median Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score and the International Society of Limb Salvage score were 80% and 84%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ECI autografts are a durable option for reconstruction after resection of musculoskeletal tumors and provide good function over more than 15 years. Most graft failures occurred within 5 years of the index surgery. However, composite grafts showed a tendency to fail more than 10 years after the surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is one of the most common malignant bone tumors, with a high incidence in adolescence. The objective of this study was to construct prognostic nomograms for predicting the prognosis of juvenile osteosarcoma. METHODS Patients with osteosarcoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The essential clinical predictors were identified with univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. Nomograms were constructed to predict the 3- and 5-year cancer- specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots were performed to validate the predictive performance of nomograms. RESULTS We enrolled 736 adolescents with osteosarcoma from the SEER database, with 516 samples grouped into a training cohort and 220 samples grouped into a validation cohort. In multivariate analysis of the training cohort, predictors including tumor size, surgery treatment and AJCC stage were found to be associated with OS and CSS, while age was only associated with CSS. Construction of nomograms based on these predictors was performed to evaluate the prognosis of adolescents with osteosarcoma. The C-index and calibration curves also showed the satisfactory performance of these nomograms for prognosis prediction. CONCLUSION The developed nomograms are useful tools for precisely predicting the prognosis of adolescents with osteosarcoma, which could enable patients to be more accurately managed in clinical practice.

Abstract
Limb salvage is the treatment of choice for malignant shoulder girdle tumors; however, there is a paucity of data examining the long-term outcome. The authors have previously reported on a cohort of patients at short- and mid-term follow-up. The purpose of this study was to report the long-term outcome of shoulder reconstruction in terms of oncological and functional outcome. The authors reviewed 53 patients who underwent a limb salvage procedure for treatment of a tumor of the shoulder girdle. At a mean of 28 years following the resection, 76% of surviving patients were contacted and administered functional outcome scores using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) and Toronto Extremity Salvage (TESS). The 20-year survival and recurrence-free survival were 79% and 80%, respectively. Likewise, the 20-year revision survival was 75%, with a limb salvage rate of 94%. At last follow-up, the mean MSTS rating and TESS score were 75% and 85%, respectively, with 9 patients having improvement in their MSTS rating from the previous findings. Limb salvage following resection of shoulder girdle tumor resulted in acceptable means of oncological outcome and function. Some patients continued to experience improvements in functional outcome even at late (>20 years) follow-up. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(6):e514-e520.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the disease-specific survival of Ewing sarcoma (ES) patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database was used to identify ES from 1990 to 2015, in which the data was extracted from 18 registries in the US. Multivariate analysis performed using Cox proportional hazards regression models was performed on the training set to identify independent prognostic factors and construct a nomogram for the prediction of the 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates of patients with ES. The predictive values were compared by using concordance indexes (C-indexes), calibration plots, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS A total of 2,643 patients were identified. After multivariate Cox regression, a nomogram was established based on a new model containing the predictive variables of age, race, extent of disease, tumor size, and therapy of surgery. The new model provided better C-indexes (0.684 and 0.704 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively) than the model without therapy of surgery (0.661 and 0.668 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively). The good discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were demonstrated for both the training and validation cohorts. NRI and IDI were also improved. Finally, DCA demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful. CONCLUSION We developed a reliable nomogram for determining the prognosis and treatment outcomes of patients with ES in the US. However, the proposed nomogram still requires external data verification in future applications, especially for regions outside the US.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop and validate a reliable nomogram for predicting the disease-specific survival (DSS) of chondrosarcoma patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried from 2004 to 2015 to identify cases of histologically confirmed chondrosarcoma. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors and construct a nomogram for predicting the 3- and 5-year DSS rates. Predictive values were compared between the new model and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system using concordance indexes (C-indexes), calibration plots, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Multivariate Cox regression identified 1180 patients, who were used to establish a nomogram based on a new model containing the predictive variables of age, socioeconomic status, tumor size, surgery status, chemotherapy status, and AJCC staging. In the nomogram, age at diagnosis is the factor with the highest risk, followed by AJCC stage IV and tumor size > 100 mm. Both the C-index and the calibration plots demonstrated the good performance of the nomogram. Moreover, both NRI and IDI were improved compared to the AJCC staging system, and also DCA demonstrated that the nomogram is clinically useful. CONCLUSION We have developed a reliable nomogram for determining the prognosis and treatment outcomes of chondrosarcoma patients that is superior to the traditional AJCC staging system.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish a comprehensive prognostic system for osteosarcoma based on a large population database with high quality.The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database was used to identify patients with osteosarcoma from 1973 to 2015. Multivariate analysis was performed to screen statistically significant variables. A nomogram was constructed by R software to predict the 3-, 5- and 10-year survival rates. Predictive abilities were compared by C-indexes, calibration plots, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), net reclassification improvement (NRI), as well as decision curve analysis (DCA).In total, 4505 osteosarcoma patients were identified. They were divided into training (70%, n = 3153) and validating (30%, n = 1352) groups. Multivariate analyses identified independent predictors. Subsequently, the nomogram system of a new model was established, which comprised 7 variables as age, sex, site, decade of diagnosis (DOD), extent of disease (EOD), tumor size and patients undergoing tri-modality therapy (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). It provided better C-indexes than the model without therapies (0.727, 0.712 vs 0.705, 0.668) in the 2 cohort, respectively. As well, the new model had good performances in the calibration plots. Moreover, both IDI and NRI improved for 3-, 5- and 10-year follow-up of C-indexes. Finally, DCA demonstrated that the nomogram of new model was clinically meaningful.We developed a reliable nomogram for prognostic determinants and treatment outcome analysis of osteosarcoma, thus helping better choose medical examinations and optimize therapeutic regimen under the cooperation among oncologists and surgeons.

Abstract
To reply to as yet unmet medical needs to treat osteosarcoma, a form of primary bone cancer, we conceived the 12b80 compound by covalently conjugating antineoplastic compound doxorubicin to a bone targeting hydroxybisphosphonate vector and turned it into a prodrug through a custom linker designed to specifically trigger doxorubicin release in acidic bone tumor microenvironment. Synthesis of 12b80 was thoroughly optimized to be produced at gram scale. 12b80 was evaluated in vitro for high bone support affinity, specific release of doxorubicin in acidic condition, lower cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake of the prodrug. In vivo in rodents, 12b80 displayed rapid and sustained targeting of bone tissue and tumor-associated heterotopic bone and permitted a higher doxorubicin payload in tumor bone environment compared to nonvectorized doxorubicin. Consequently, 12b80 showed much lower toxicity compared to doxorubicin, promoted strong antitumor effects on rodent orthotopic osteosarcoma, displayed a dose-response therapeutic effect, and was more potent than doxorubicin/zoledronate combination.

Abstract
The sleep quality of patients with osteosarcoma (OS) was poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sleep dysfunction in adolescent patients with OS using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and to further investigate the psychometric properties of the PSQI in this cohort of patients. Fifty four adolescent patients with OS who underwent chemotherapy treatment in our clinic centre were included. Sleep quality was assessed with the Chinese PSQI. Cronbach's alpha was calculated to evaluate the internal consistency. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to determine the fitness of a two-factor structure. Sleep disturbance was observed in 57.4% (31/54) of the patients. Patients with the presence of metastasis or more than 2 cycles of chemotherapy were found to have remarkably higher median global score. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.87. The CFA showed an overall comparative fit index of 0.97, a root mean square error of approximation of 0.06 and a standardised root mean square residual of 0.07 respectively. PSQI was a reliable instrument to evaluate the sleep quality of adolescent patients with OS. Over half of the patients may experience sleep disturbance during the treatment. Early psychological interventions were recommended to improve the sleep quality of the patients.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor. However, due to the high complexity of the occurrence and metastasis of osteosarcoma, the exact mechanism promoting its development and progression remains to be elucidated. This study highlights the causal link between solute carrier family 25 member 22 (SLC25A22) and the development, progression, and metastasis of osteosarcoma. SLC25A22 is upregulated in human osteosarcoma and predicts a poor prognosis. The upregulation of SLC25A22 in osteosarcoma tissues was significantly associated with cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Studies of functional gain (overexpression) and loss (knockdown) showed that SLC25A22 significantly increases the ability of osteosarcoma cells to proliferate, as well as invade and metastasize in vitro. At the same time, the expression of SLC25A22 promoted the progression of the cellcycle of osteosarcoma cell lines and inhibited the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells. Analysis using a mouse xenograft model showed that xenografts of SLC25A22 stable overexpressing osteosarcoma cells had a significant increase in tumor volume and weight compared to the control group. Lung metastasis models in mice showed that expression of SLC25A22 promoted lung metastasis of osteosarcoma in vivo. Furthermore, SLC25A22 inhibited phosphatase and tensin homolog expression and increased phosphorylation of protein kinase b (Akt) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) in the phosphatase and tensin homolog signaling pathway. In summary, SLC25A22 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma, promoting osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion by inhibiting the phosphatase and tensin homolog signaling pathway.

Abstract
Purpose Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy of bone, and typically occurs among children and adolescence. This study aims to evaluate treatment outcomes among children, adolescents and young adults with osteosarcoma over the three decades by the changes in the long‐term relative survival. Methods Osteosarcoma incidence and relative survival data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries during 1984‐2013 were analyzed. The survival differences over three decades, age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status (SES) were assessed by comparing Kaplan‐Meier curves. Results The overall incidence of osteosarcoma kept relatively stable with 0.4 per 100 000 in the three decades with the peak incidence occurring in the aged 10‐19 group. The 10‐year relative survival rate (RSR) increased from 57.7% to 61.0% in the three decades, with the greatest increase in the aged 0‐9 group from 48.2% to 65.7%. The 10‐year RSR improved from 54.1% to 61.5% in males, and from 62.4% to 63.0% in females, respectively, in the three decades. Furthermore, survival dramatically improved from 30% to 60% in the high‐poverty group over the three decades. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the overall incidence of osteosarcoma remained stable, with an improvement in survival in the three decades. The improved survival was greater in males than in females in the three decades. Furthermore, the survival significantly increased in high‐poverty group, which was attributed to increasing improved health care system and patients with low finance can also have access to receiving effective and consistent treatment without distinction.
