Here, we review these cancer signaling pathways, including Notch, Wnt, Hedgehog, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, and JAK/STAT, and their specific role in osteosarcoma.
We found that CD20, MCM, and CCNB1 (down-regulated) in cell cycle and ECM, ITGA, RTKin (up-regulated) in focal adhesion had important roles in the progression of osteosarcoma.
These findings suggest that galangin suppresses osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting their proliferation and invasion and accelerating their apoptosis, and the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of PI3K and its downstream signaling pathway.
Collectively, these results suggested that TROP2 may promote OS cell proliferation and migration via PI3K/AKT signaling and may serve as a novel treatment target for OS.
Here, we have analyzed the therapeutic potential of the pan-PI3K inhibitor NVP-BKM120, which has recently entered clinical Phase II for treatment of PI3K-dependent cancers on three OS cell lines.
Aplasia Ras homologue member Ⅰ overexpression inhibits tumor growth and induces apoptosis through inhibition of PI3K/Akt survival pathways in human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells in culture.
Lastly, we showed that activation of the PI3K/AKT signal pathway is essential for the effects of ZIC2 on osteosarcoma cells, as the effects of ZIC2 on the osteosarcoma cells were reversed by a PI3K/AKT inhibitor.
Overexpression of FER1L4 promotes the apoptosis and suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness markers via activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in osteosarcoma cells.
The overexpression of IRX2 promoted the activation of PI3K/Akt and increased the proliferation and invasiveness of the OS cell lines as shown by CCK8 and invasion assays.
Finally, we detected a time-dependent decrease in VEGF expression and considerably reduced phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (AKT) activation in osteosarcoma cells treated by Eag1 shRNA.
In addition, exogenous IGF‑1R expression abolished the tumor suppressive roles of miR‑939 in OS cells. miR‑939 was implicated in the deactivation of the PI3K/Akt pathway in OS in vitro and in vivo through regulating IGF‑1R expression.
Therefore, the current study reveals that aclidinium bromide might inhibit osteosarcoma cell growth by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which suggests aclidinium bromide is a potential chemotherapeutic agent for osteosarcoma.
Calycosin, a Phytoestrogen Isoflavone, Induces Apoptosis of Estrogen Receptor-Positive MG-63 Osteosarcoma Cells via the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase (PI3K)/AKT/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Pathway.
