Title Trabectedin suppresses osteosarcoma pulmonary metastasis in a mouse tumor xenograft model.
Journal J Orthop Res
Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor that mainly affects adolescents and young adults. Although standard treatment modality can achieve up to 60%-70% 5-year survival rate, there has not been any substantial improvement over the past four decades. Furthermore, those presenting with pulmonary metastatic lesions often undergo a highly unfavorable clinical course. Therefore, there is a severely unmet clinical need to provide a more effective treatment for patients with OS. In this study, we show that trabectedin (TBD), a chemotherapeutic agent approved for soft tissue sarcomas, significantly suppresses pulmonary metastasis in a mouse OS xenograft model. In vitro experiments revealed that TBD suppresses cell migration potentially by downregulating the activity of ERK1/2, intracellular molecules that are critically involved in the regulation of cell motility. Collectively, our data may provide a basis for further investigation of TBD on the potential use for OS patients who are at great risk of pulmonary metastasis.
