Abstract

Osteosarcoma, is a kind of malignant tumor derived from malignant interstitial cells. The pathogenesis of osteosarcoma remains unclear and despite use of chemotherapy drugs, resistance to these drugs affects the success of treatment. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of icariin (ICA) on osteosarcoma cell proliferation and to investigate the role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the inhibition process of ICA on osteosarcoma cell proliferation. Different concentrations of ICA were selected to treat the osteosarcoma cell line 143B for 24 h, and then the onset concentration of ICA when it inhibited the growth of osteosarcoma cancer cell line 143B was detected via an MTT assay. The effect of ICA on the apoptosis of colon cancer cell line 143B under this concentration was detected using a flow cytometer. RNA in osteosarcoma cell line 143B was extracted, followed by reverse transcription. The expression levels of related and apoptotic proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway using ICA were detected by semi-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. The expression quantities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and MMP-9 were detected by ELISA. MTT assay showed that ICA in...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
