Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous RNAs that are involved in osteosarcoma progression. Hsa_circ_0010220 (circ_0010220) is a circRNA generated by gene Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 10 Like (ARHGEF10L) and is upregulated in osteosarcoma, but its functional role in osteosarcoma is limited studied. This study aimed to illustrate the regulatory mechanism underlying circ_0010220 in osteosarcoma.
Methods: 51 paired tumor and normal tissues were obtained from osteosarcoma patients. circ_0010220, microRNA (miR)-198 and Syntaxin 6 (STX6) abundances were examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, migration and invasion were analyzed via Cell Counting Kits-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry and transwell analyses. Target relationship was verified via dual-luciferase reporter analysis, RNA immunoprecipitation and pull-down. The function was analyzed using a xenograft model.
Results: Circ_0010220 was elevated in osteosarcoma tissues and cells, and was related to the lower survival rate of osteosarcoma patients. Circ_0010220 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, but induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis . Besides, circ_0010220 silence curbed the growth of xenograft osteosarcoma tumors . Mechanistic research revealed that miR-198 is a target of circ_0010220, and directly targets STX6. Moreover, circ_0010220 upregulated the expression of STX6 by sponging miR-198 to regulate cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis.
Conclusion: Circ_0010220 contributes to osteosarcoma progression through mediating miR-198/STX6 axis, which might be a novel therapeutic target for osteosarcoma therapy.

Most osteosarcoma (OS) cases exhibit poor differentiation at the histopathological level. Disruption of the normal osteogenic differentiation process results in the unregulated proliferation of precursor cells, which is a critical factor in the development of OS. Differentiation therapy aims to slow disease progression by restoring the osteogenic differentiation process of OS cells and is considered a new approach to treating OS.

Adjuvant chemotherapy is a well-established treatment for large-breed dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma; however, it is unclear if it improves outcomes in small-breed dogs due to limited focused studies. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the oncologic outcomes of dogs weighting less than 15 kg with appendicular osteosarcoma that underwent curative resection with or without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Endpoints were time to distant progression (TTDP) and overall survival (OS).

There are numerous ways of portraying cancer complexity based on combining multiple types of data. A common approach involves developing signatures from gene expression profiles to highlight a few key reproducible features that provide insight into cancer risk, progression, or recurrence. Normally, a selection of such features is made through relevance or significance, given a reference context.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent primary malignant bone tumor, typically managed through a combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical interventions. Recent advancements in early detection and the use of novel chemotherapeutic agents have significantly improved the 5-year survival rate of OS patients. However, some patients fail to achieve the desired treatment outcomes despite undergoing intensive chemotherapy and surgicals procedures, with chemotherapy resistance emerging as a critical factor contributing to therapeutic failure in OS.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in childhood. Patients who present with metastatic disease at diagnosis or relapse have a very poor prognosis, and this has not changed over the past four decades. The Wnt signaling pathway plays a role in regulating osteogenesis and is implicated in OS pathogenesis.
