Soluble chromium (VI) compounds either alone or in combination with 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) were used to transform non-tumorigenic osteoblast-like human osteosarcoma cells (HOS TE85).
Thus, in addition to the recent discovery of estradiol receptors and estrogenic regulation of HOS TE85 cells, it is now evident that these osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells also express high affinity androgen binding sites and can respond biologically to androgens.
High specific activity estradiol labeled with iodine-125 was used to detect approximately 200 saturable, high-affinity (dissociation constant approximately equal to 1.0 nM) nuclear binding sites in rat (ROS 17/2.8) and human (HOS TE85) clonal osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells.
Three of 8 cell lines from mesenchymal tumors (fibrosarcoma HT1080, osteosarcomas SK-ES and MNNG/HOS) and 2 of 16 cell lines from epithelial tumors (gastric carcinoma KKLS and bladder carcinoma T24) proliferated in the livers.
The HOSosteosarcoma cell line (also known as TE-85), which express the normal-sized 2.5 kb BLK-ALP mRNA only, exhibited ALP activity with kinetic properties of both the BLK and PL-/PL-like isoenzymes.
The results indicate that our DXR-resistant variants of MNNG/HOS and MG63 reveal a classical MDR phenotype and can offer a model with which to investigate the mechanisms of multidrug resistance in osteosarcoma.
In conclusion, the HOS 58 osteosarcoma cell line represents a differentiated cell line with highly expressed and physiologically regulated AP expression during further differentiation in culture.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-mediated proliferation, androgenic regulation and inhibitory effects of LY312340 in HOS-TE85 (TE85) human osteosarcoma cells.
We also investigated whether there was an association between TP53 mutation and centrosome aberrations in the generation of chromosomal aneuploidy in OS in four OS cell lines (HOS, SAOS2, U2OS, and MG63) and in a subset of seven tumors.
Although the human osteosarcoma cell lines HOS and MG63 have a wild-type RB gene, SaOS-2 and OSrb (established from retinoblastoma patient) have no active RB gene.
The 143B-GFP cell line with high metastatic potential and the MNNG/HOS-RFP cell line with low metastatic potential, both derived from the TE85 human osteosarcoma cell line, were either co-transplanted or transplanted alone in the tibia in nude mice.
Adenoviral mediated overexpression and knockdown of IGFBP5 in the MG63 and MG63.2 cell lines, as well as other OS lines (143B and MNNG/HOS) that are independent of our MG63 lines, were employed to examine the role of IGFBP5.
Apart from the N-Myc-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines, the osteosarcoma cell lines MNNG-HOS and OST, which are highly resistant to standard anticancer drugs, were sensitive to GW843682X.
To examine the antitumor effects of gallic acid (GA) on osteosarcoma, two human osteosarcoma cell lines U-2OS and MNNG/HOS were treated by GA and subjected to cell proliferation and apoptosis assays.
Results showed that KLF6 displayed a significant downregulation in osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63, SaOS-2, U2OS, and HOS) compared with human osteoblastic cell line (hFOB1.19).
This resulted in inhibition of proliferation of osteosarcoma cell lines U-2 OS and HOS, but not of 143B, which harbors a KRAS oncogenic transformation.
Very low levels of adenovirus cellular receptor coxsackievirus/adenovirus receptor (CAR) (Ad5 receptor) expression were observed in MNNG-HOS and MG-63 cells, whereas high levels of CAR expression were seen in the other osteosarcoma cell lines.
The roles of miR-142-3p in osteosarcoma development were studied using cultured HOS, MG63 and Saos-2 cells and tumor xenograft analyses in nude mice; their target genes were also investigated.
