2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) has been found to possess antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro. It has been suggested that 2-ME induces apoptosis resulting in G2/M arrest of tumor cells. In this study, the effect of 2-ME was evaluated in rat osteosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) cell lines. 2-ME was used at final concentrations of 100 nM to 2 microM. The effect of 2-ME on cell growth was measured by the MTS assay. Induction of apoptosis and activation of caspase-3 were investigated along with apoptosis-related gene expression. The data showed that 2-ME significantly inhibited cell growth, inducing apoptosis. The activity of caspase-3 was increased at 20 h and 40 h in both cell lines. 2-ME induced p16 expression, which was possibly involved in the apoptotic process. These results suggested that the 2-ME-induced apoptosis of rat osteosarcoma and rat MFH cells was accompanied by caspase-3 activation through p16 induction.

Multifunctional porous bone scaffolds that combine reparative and therapeutic features are promising for bone tissue engineering applications. Therefore, we developed freeze-dried scaffolds based on the in-situ synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) within a gelatin-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-alginate matrix using a co-precipitation method. Ceftazidime and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were used as drug models and were separately loaded into the fabricated scaffolds.

Vanadium is a bioactive trace element with variable valence. Its pentavalent form has been confirmed to be capable of predominantly regulating the early and mid-stage osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) without tumor inhibition, while its tetravalent form exhibits tumor inhibition but only primarily modulates late osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis. In this study, a multifunctional bone tissue scaffold consisting of mixed-valence vanadium-doped mesoporous bioactive glass and poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (V(IV/V)-MBG/PLGA) was developed to simultaneously inhibit the recurrence of osteosarcoma and promote the regeneration of operative bone defects.

The prognosis for osteosarcoma patients, a devastating malignancy affecting young individuals, remains grim despite multimodal therapeutic advances. Recently, the advent of cuproptosis, a novel programmed cell death, offers hope in fighting osteosarcoma. In this study, we introduce SAHA@{[Cu(HA-Cys)]Cl}, an injectable hyaluronate-L-cysteine hydrogel that integrates both copper ions (Cu) and vorinostat (SAHA) for the possible therapeutic effect.

Pyroptosis has gained attention for its potential to reinvigorate the immune system within the tumor microenvironment. However, current approaches employing pyroptosis inducers suffer from limitations. They primarily rely on single agents, lack precise targeting, and potentially disrupt the intricate bone formation microenvironment, hindering local repair of tumor-induced bone defects.

Background/aim: To investigate the feasibility of establishing a mandibular osteosarcoma model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using tissue block transplantation, providing a foundational model for osteosarcoma research.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen male SD rats, 3 weeks old and SPF grade, were randomly divided into a control group (n=4) and a mandibular osteosarcoma group (n=10). Using tissue block transplantation, UMR106 cell-induced tumor tissues were transplanted subcutaneously into the left mandibular marrow cavity of the SD rats.
