Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children and adolescents with high metastatic ability.
This study aimed to explore the inhibitory effects of (S)-10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) on osteosarcoma cell growth and metastasis as well as the underlying mechanism.
The osteosarcoma cells of 143B and U-2 OS (U-2), treated with HCPT (20, 100, or 300 nM), underwent detections, such as CCK-8, flow cytometry, Transwell, wound healing, and immunoblotting. EMT-related key proteins, like N-cadherin, Snail, and Vimentin, were found to be down-regulated, while E-cadherin was up-regulated dose-dependently in HCPT-exposed 143B and U-2 cells. Additionally, incubation of 143B and U-2 cells with HCPT for 3 hours dosedependently reduced the expression ratios of p-LATS1/LATS1, p-MST1/MST1, p-YAP/YAP, and p-TAZ/TAZ.
Taken together, our study has demonstrated HCPT to inhibit osteosarcoma growth and metastasis potentially by activating the HIPPO signaling pathway and reversing EMT.
HCPT might be a candidate agent for the prevention and treatment of osteosarcoma.
骨肉瘤是儿童和青少年中最常见的原发性骨癌,具有高转移能力。
本研究旨在探讨(S)-10-羟基喜树碱(HCPT)对骨肉瘤细胞生长和转移的抑制作用及其机制。
用 HCPT(20、100 或 300 nM)处理骨肉瘤细胞 143B 和 U-2 OS(U-2),进行 CCK-8、流式细胞术、Transwell、划痕愈合和免疫印迹检测。HCPT 暴露的 143B 和 U-2 细胞中 EMT 相关关键蛋白 N-钙粘蛋白、Snail 和波形蛋白下调,E-钙粘蛋白呈剂量依赖性上调。此外,143B 和 U-2 细胞与 HCPT 孵育 3 小时呈剂量依赖性降低 p-LATS1/LATS1、p-MST1/MST1、p-YAP/YAP 和 p-TAZ/TAZ 的表达比值。
综上所述,我们的研究表明 HCPT 通过激活 HIPPO 信号通路和逆转 EMT 来抑制骨肉瘤的生长和转移。
HCPT 可能是预防和治疗骨肉瘤的候选药物。
