Osteosarcoma is the most common type of malignant tumor arising from bone in children and adolescents. Accumulating evidences have shown the aberrant expression of numerous miRNAs is associated with the development and metastasis of osteosarcoma. The present study was conducted to investigate miR-27a expression in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. In the present study, quantitative RT-qPCR was used to measure the expression levels of miRNA and mRNA in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Transwell assays were used to detect the effects of miR-27a on the invasive and migratory potential of cells. Luciferase reporter and western blot analysis were conducted to confirm cyclin G1 (CCNG1) as the target gene of miR-27a. The results showed that miR-27a was significantly upregulated in human osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. The western blot analysis revealed that the overexpression of miR-27a suppressed CCNG1 protein expression. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that CCNG1 is a direct target of miR-27a in osteosarcoma cells. The results suggest that miR-27a downregulates CCNG1 expression in osteosarcoma and acts as an oncogene directly targeting CCNG1. Thus, the miR-27a/CCNGI axis is a potential therapeutic target for human osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor and a highly aggressive malignant neoplasm. This study aims to elucidate the role of lactylation-related genes (LRGs) in osteosarcoma, with the goal of improving prognostic accuracy and enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy. Using public datasets, we integrated differential and correlated genes based on single-cell sequencing AUCell scores and performed enrichment analysis and risk model construction on these genes.

Background: Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone malignancy predominantly affecting children and adolescents, presents significant therapeutic challenges with a 5-year survival rate below 30% in metastatic cases. T-cell exhaustion, characterized by the overexpression of immune checkpoint molecules, contributes to osteosarcoma progression and immune evasion. Although targeting these inhibitory pathways has shown potential in restoring T-cell activity, the molecular regulators of T-cell depletion in osteosarcoma are poorly understood.

This paper addresses the synthesis, characterization, DNA binding, cleavage, and antiproliferative activity studies of a series of heteroleptic mononuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)(bpy)](ClO), {1}; [Cu(L)(phen)](ClO), {2}; and [Cu(L)(Mephen)](ClO), {3} derived from different polypyridyl ligands, where in the complex architecture, one 2,6-bis(1-methyl-1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine(Mebzimpy) (L) moiety is connected to the central Cu metal in a tridentate fashion and the bidentate co-ligands are 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Mephen). All the synthesized complexes were characterized using various spectroscopic and analytical methods, along with the single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) technique. The complexes crystallize in a penta-coordinated distorted square pyramidal geometry.

Background: Pediatric appendicular bone sarcomas, including osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma, are rare but aggressive malignancies that have a profound impact on survival, physical function, and quality of life (QoL). Treatment options usually involve either limb-salvage surgery (LSS) or amputation (AMP), although evidence about outcomes among these approaches is still limited.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving pediatric cases treated for appendicular bone sarcomas between 2000 and 2021 at the Instituto Português de Oncologia de Lisboa (IPOL), a Portuguese oncology center in Lisbon.
