Abstract

Osteosarcoma, which accounts for 5 % of pediatric tumor, remains the major cause of death among orthopedic malignancies. However, the factors associated with its malignant biological behavior are still poorly understood. MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNAs, which have been considered to associate with malignant progression including cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and distant metastasis. In our research, we found that microRNA-21 (miR-21) was significantly overexpressed in human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 compared to human fetal osteoblastic cell line hFOB1.19 by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, miR-21 overexpression in MG63 caused a significant raise in cell proliferation and invasion and a significant reduction in cell apoptosis. However, miR-21 underexpression in MG63 caused an opposite result. Western blotting displayed that proteins related with proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion were significantly changed in different groups, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PTEN may be a potential target of miR-21 in MG63 cells and miR-21 could activate PI3K/Akt pathway by suppressing PTEN expression. In summary, our findings suggested that...Continue Reading

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

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.

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
