However, the precise role of T cell factors/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor (TCFs/LEF) family members, which are the major binding complex of β-catenin, in OS is poorly understood.
The expression of nuclear FAM83H, cytoplasmic FAM83H, and β-catenin were significantly associated with each other and significantly associated with shorter survival of osteosarcoma patients by univariate analysis.
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of ginsenoside on the apoptosis and proliferation of human OS MG-63 and Saos-2 cells by regulating the expression of β-catenin.
We identified that metastatic lung OS cell lines (n = 2) exhibited increased stem cell signatures, including enhanced concomitant aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1) and β-catenin expression and downstream activity, which were suppressed by Tegavivint (ALDH1: control group, mean relative mRNA expression = 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.68 to 1.22 vs Tegavivint group, mean = 0.011, 95% CI = 0.0012 to 0.056, P < .001; β-catenin: control group, mean relative mRNA expression = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.71 to 1.36 vs Tegavivint group, mean = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.36 to 0.52, P < .001).
These results will aid in elucidating the roles of miR-758 and suggest that the miR-758/HMGA1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway represents a potential therapeutic target in OS.
NNT-As1 functions as a cancer-promoting lncRNA by downregulating miR-320a, thus increasing the protein expression level of beta-catenin, RUNX2 and IGF-1R as well as activation of Akt in osteosarcoma.
Collectively, our study indicated that macrophage-derived CCL18 promotes OS proliferation and metastasis via the EP300/UCA1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway and that CCL18 may be used as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target of OS.
Higher expression of miR-940, β-catenin, and cyclinD1 and lower SFRP1 expression were identified in OS tissues. miR-940 targeted and negatively regulated SFRP1 expression.
CRY2 knockdown also increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and β-catenin, and increased OS cell proliferation and migration by inducing cell cycle progression and promoting mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.
In conclusion, our research verified that suppression of CAT104 exerted significant inhibitory effects on osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by regulating the expression of miR-381 and downstream ZEB1, as well as JNK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways.
In this study, we investigated the vital function of MALAT1 in the progression of OS and its potential leading mechanism, altering the expression and localization of β-catenin via epigenetic transcriptional regulation by interacting with EZH2.
Moreover, the level of β-catenin and its target genes, including c-myc, cyclinD1, and survivin significantly decreased in baicalein-treated osteosarcoma cells, whereas exogenous expression of β-catenin could reverse the anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic effects of baicalein.
Finally, we revealed that silybin inhibited OS cell viability by altering the protein levels of β-catenin and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) as determined by western blot and immunocytochemistry (ICC).
