Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor affecting children and adolescents. Currently, the most common treatment is surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although the survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma has improved in recent years, it remains poor when the tumor(s) progress and distant metastases develop. Therefore, better animal models that more accurately replicate the natural progression of the disease are needed to develop improved prognostic and diagnostic markers, as well as targeted therapies for both primary and metastatic osteosarcoma. The present review described animal models currently being used in research investigating osteosarcoma, and their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. These models may help elucidate the pathogenic mechanism(s) of osteosarcoma and provide evidence to support and develop clinical treatment strategies.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12142372. [PMID: 35889596 PMCID: PMC9321599 DOI: 10.3390/nano12142372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Chemotherapeutics such as platinum-based drugs are commonly used to treat several cancer types, but unfortunately, their use is limited by several side effects, such as high degradation of the drug before entering the cells, off-target organ toxicity and development of drug resistance. An interesting strategy to overcome such limitations is the development of nanocarriers that could enhance cellular accumulation in target cells in addition to decreasing associated drug toxicity in normal cells. Here, we aim to prepare and characterize a graphene-oxide-based 2D nanoplatform functionalised using highly branched, eight-arm polyethylene-glycol, which, owing to its high number of available functional groups, offers considerable loading capacity over its linear modalities and represents a highly potent nanodelivery platform as a versatile system in cancer therapy. The obtained results show that the GO@PEG carrier allows for the use of lower amounts of Pt drug compared to a Pt-free complex while achieving similar effects. The nanoplatform accomplishes very good cellular proliferation inhibition in osteosarcoma, which is strictly related to increased cellular uptake. This enhanced cellular internalization is also observed in glioblastoma, although it is less pronounced due to differences in metabolism compared to osteosarcoma. The proposed GO@PEG nanoplatform is also promising for the inhibition of migration, especially in highly invasive breast carcinoma (i.e., MDA-MB-231 cell line), neutralizing the metastatic process. The GO@PEG nanoplatform thus represents an interesting tool in cancer treatment that can be specifically tailored to target different cancers.

Sahin D. Effect of Oil Extract from Microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.) on the Viability and Apoptosis of Human Osteosarcoma Cells. Curr Pharm Biotechnol 2021; 22:1099-1105. [PMID: 32988350 DOI: 10.2174/1389201021666200928101029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 06/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor type that starts in bone and occurs most frequently in adolescents. Traditional techniques are insufficient, especially for metastatic ones. As alternative treatment techniques, natural products are worthy of examining due to being safe and innovative. Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, have various positive effects on human health and growth. In addition, some PUFAs show anti-cancer activity by inducing apoptosis, specifically in cancer cells. OBJECTIVE Here, the study aims to investigate the time and dose-dependent effects of oil extract from Schizochytrium sp. against the osteosarcoma cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human Fetal Osteoblast Cells (hFOB) and osteosarcoma cells (SAOS-2) were treated with different concentrations of fatty acid samples. GC-FID was performed for fatty acid composition analysis of Schizochytrium sp. MTT-cell viability and Annexin V-apoptosis assays were performed to investigate the time and dose-dependent effects of the samples on cell lines. RESULTS The oil extract sample has a specific activity against the SAOS-2 cancer line and decreases cell proliferation, especially at high dose treatments. Apoptosis assay results indicate that the oil extract sample causes a significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells in the SAOS-2 cell line (71.7% of SAOS-2 cells), which shows its selective activity against bone cancer cell line as a natural anti-cancer molecule. CONCLUSION It was observed that Schizochytrium sp. extract has a time and dose-dependent ability to induce apoptosis, specifically in SAOS-2 cells.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a cancer of pathological bone remodeling with high mortality and severe comorbidity. New therapies are urgently needed. Activin A, a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily, has been suggested to stimulate proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma cells in vitro, thus representing a potential therapeutic target. In this study, inhibition of the activin receptor signaling pathway was explored as a therapy for osteosarcoma. In a murine intratibial osteosarcoma xenograft model, two types of inhibitors were tested: (a) a soluble activin type IIA decoy receptor (ActRIIA-mFc), or (b) a modified variant of follistatin (FSTΔHBS -hFc), either alone or in combination with a bisphosphonate. Both inhibitors reduced primary tumor development by nearly 50% compared to vehicle treatment. When ActRIIA-mFc was combined with bisphosphonate, the effect on tumor size became even more pronounced (78% reduction vs. vehicle). Moreover, FSTΔHBS -hFc increased body weight in the face of tumor progression (14% increase vs. vehicle), and ActRIIA-mFc reduced the number of lung metastases when combined with bisphosphonate. The present study demonstrates a novel approach to treating osteosarcoma and encourages further investigation of inhibition of the activin receptor signaling pathway as an intervention against the disease.

Abstract
Simple Summary Osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone cancer that frequently metastasizes to the lungs and is the second leading cause of cancer-associated death in children and adolescents. Therefore, deciphering the biological mechanisms that mediate osteosarcoma metastasis is urgently needed in order to develop effective treatment. The aim of our study was to shed light on the primary tumor-induced changes in the lungs prior to osteosarcoma cell arrival using a xenograft osteosarcoma mouse model. Furthermore, we investigated the functional role of osteosarcoma-derived extracellular vesicles in pre-metastatic niche formation and metastasis. We showed that the primary tumor initiates an influx of CD11b+ myeloid cells in the pre-metastatic lungs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that osteosarcoma-derived extracellular vesicles alone can recapitulate myeloid cell infiltration in the lungs of naïve mice, but are insufficient to promote osteosarcoma metastasis. Our findings provide valuable insight into the field of osteosarcoma-derived extracellular vesicles and their role in pre-metastatic niche formation in the 143-B osteosarcoma model. Abstract The pre-metastatic niche (PMN) is a tumor-driven microenvironment in distant organs that can foster and support the survival and growth of disseminated tumor cells. This facilitates the establishment of secondary lesions that eventually form overt metastasis, the main cause of cancer-related death. In recent years, tumor-derived extracellular-vesicles (EVs) have emerged as potentially key drivers of the PMN. The role of the PMN in osteosarcoma metastasis is poorly understood and the potential contribution of osteosarcoma cell-derived EVs to PMN formation has not been investigated so far. Here, we characterize pulmonary PMN development using the spontaneously metastasizing 143-B xenograft osteosarcoma mouse model. We demonstrate the accumulation of CD11b+ myeloid cells in the pre-metastatic lungs of tumor-bearing mice. We also establish that highly metastatic 143-B and poorly metastatic SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cell-derived EV education in naïve mice can recapitulate the recruitment of myeloid cells to the lungs. Surprisingly, despite EV-induced myeloid cell infiltration in the pre-metastatic lungs, 143-B and SAOS-2 EVs do not contribute towards the 143-B metastatic burden in the context of both spontaneous as well as experimental metastasis in severe-combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Taken together, OS-derived EVs alone may not be able to form a functional PMN, and may perhaps require a combination of tumor-secreted factors along with EVs to do so. Additionally, our study gives a valuable insight into the PMN complexity by providing the transcriptomic signature of the premetastatic lungs in an osteosarcoma xenograft model for the first time. In conclusion, identification of regulators of cellular and molecular changes in the pre-metastatic lungs might lead to the development of a combination therapies in the future that interrupt PMN formation and combat osteosarcoma metastasis.

Abstract
Tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as mediators of cancer–host intercellular communication and shown to support pre-metastatic niche formation by modulating stromal cells at future metastatic sites. While osteosarcoma, the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, has a high propensity for pulmonary metastases, the interaction of osteosarcoma cells with resident lung cells remains poorly understood. Here, we deliver foundational in vitro evidence that osteosarcoma cell-derived EVs drive myofibroblast/cancer-associated fibroblast differentiation. Human lung fibroblasts displayed increased invasive competence, in addition to increased α-smooth muscle actin expression and fibronectin production upon EV treatment. Furthermore, we demonstrate, through the use of transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1) inhibitors and CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockouts, that TGFβ1 present in osteosarcoma cell-derived EVs is responsible for lung fibroblast differentiation. Overall, our study highlights osteosarcoma-derived EVs as novel regulators of lung fibroblast activation and provides mechanistic insight into how osteosarcoma cells can modulate distant cells to potentially support metastatic progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to determine the expression of neurotrophins and their tyrosine-kinase receptors in patients with osteosarcoma (OS) and their correlation with clinical outcomes. METHODS we applied immunohistochemistry to biopsy specimens of patients consecutively treated for primary OS at a single institution between 2002 and 2015, analyzing them for expression receptors of tyrosine kinase A and B (TrKA and TrKB), neural growth factor (NGF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Independently, two pathologists classified the immunohistochemical markers as negative (negative or weak focal) or positive (moderate focal/diffuse or strong focal/diffuse). RESULTS we analyzed data from 19 patients (10 females and 9 males), with median age of 12 years (5 to 17.3). Tumors' location were 83.3% in the lower limbs, and 63.2% of patients had metastases at diagnosis. Five-year overall survival was 55.3%. BDNF was positive in 16 patients (84%) and NGF in 14 (73%). TrKA and TrKB presented positive staining in four (21,1%) and eight (42,1%) patients, respectively. Survival analysis showed no significant difference between TrK receptors and neurotrophins. CONCLUSION primary OS samples express neurotrophins and TrK receptors by immunohistochemistry. Future studies should explore their role in OS pathogenesis and determine their prognostic significance in larger cohorts.

Abstract
A recent ultrasound imaging technique-shear wave elastography-showed its ability to image and quantify the mechanical properties of biological tissues, such as prostate or liver tissues. In the present study this technique was used to evaluate the relationship among tumor growth, stiffness and reduction of treatment with combretastatin (CA4 P) in allografted colon tumor CT26 in mice. During 12 d, CT26 tumor growth (n = 52) was imaged by ultrasound, and shear modulus was quantified, showing a good correlation between tumor volume and stiffness (r = 0.59). The treatment was initiated at d 12 and monitored every d during 4 d. Following the treatment, the tumor volume had decreased, while the elasticity of the tumor volume remained steady throughout the treatment. After segmentation using the shear modulus map, a detailed analysis showed a decrease in the stiffness after treatment. This reduction in the mechanical properties was shown to correlate with tissue reorganization, particularly, fibrosis and necrosis, assessed by histology.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes and treatment modalities for osteosarcoma, the most common primary cancer of bone, have changed very little over the past 30 years. The peak incidence of osteosarcoma occurs during the adolescent growth spurt, which suggests that bone growth and pubertal hormones are important in the aetiology of the disease. Tall stature, high birth weight and certain inherited cancer predisposition syndromes are well-described risk factors for osteosarcoma. Common genetic variants are also associated with osteosarcoma. The somatic genome of osteosarcoma is highly aneuploid, exhibits extensive intratumoural heterogeneity and has a higher mutation rate than most other paediatric cancers. Complex pathways related to bone growth and development and tumorigenesis are also important in osteosarcoma biology. In this Review, we discuss the contributions of germline and somatic genetics, tumour biology and animal models in improving our understanding of osteosarcoma aetiology, and their potential to identify novel therapeutic targets and thus improve the lives of patients with osteosarcoma.

[PMID: 28448958 PMCID: PMC5406547 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2017.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2017] [Revised: 02/16/2017] [Accepted: 02/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The targeted delivery of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with antibodies specific to splice isoforms of fibronectin [e.g., F8-TNF, specific to the extra-domain A (EDA) domain of fibronectin] has already shown efficacy against experimental sarcomas but has not yet been investigated in orthotopic sarcomas. Here, we investigated F8-TNF in a syngeneic K7 M2-derived orthotopic model of osteosarcoma as a treatment against pulmonary metastases, the most frequent cause of osteosarcoma-related death. Immunofluorescence on human osteosarcoma tissue confirmed the presence of EDA in primary tumors (PTs) as well as metastases. In mice, the efficacy of F8-TNF against PTs and early pulmonary metastases was evaluated. Intratibial PT growth was not affected by F8-TNF, yet early micrometastases were reduced possibly due to an F8-TNF-dependent attraction of pulmonary CD4+, CD8+, and natural killer cells. Furthermore, immunofluorescence revealed stronger expression of EDA in early pulmonary metastases compared with PT tissue. To study progressing pulmonary metastases, a hind limb amputation model was established, and the efficacy of F8-TNF, alone or combined with doxorubicin, was investigated. Despite the presence of EDA in metastases, no inhibition of progressive metastatic growth was detected. No significant differences in numbers of CD4+ or CD8+ cells or F4/80+ and Ly6G+ myeloid-derived cells were observed, although a strong association between metastatic growth and presence of pulmonary Ly6G+ myeloid-derived cells was detected. In summary, these findings demonstrate the potential of F8-TNF in activating the immune system and reducing early metastatic growth yet suggest a lack of efficacy of F8-TNF alone or combined with doxorubicin against progressing osteosarcoma metastases.
