BACKGROUND: Giant cell tumor of bone (GC), osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) are three different types of bone cancer with common and specific pathology features. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship and differences of the three bone tumors using clinical samples. METHODS: Through screening the profiles of clinical samples from GC, OS and ES patients using a humanoncology array, we found 26, 25 and 15 tumorigenesis factors significantly increased in GS, OS and ES tissues compared to normal individuals. eNOS, endostatin, HIF-1α, IL-6, CCL2/MCP-1, CCL8/MCP-2, CCL7/MCP-3, Tie and VEGF directly or indirectly involve in the metastasis Therefore, expression levels of the 6 factors were further determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The results showed levels of MCP1, MCP2, MCP3 or IL-6 in the GS, OS and ES significantly increased, and the expression levels of angiogenesis and anti-angiogenesis factors containing eNOS, endostatin, HIF-1α, Tie or VEGF were enhanced. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that eNOS, endostatin, HIF-1α, IL-6, CCL2/MCP-1, CCL8/MCP-2, CCL7/MCP-3, Tie and VEGF may play important roles in tumorigenesis, reveal the expression differences of tumor-associated cytokines and angiogenesis related factors, and provide clinical evidence for studying the mechanisms on the metastasis in GC, OS and ES.

Objective. To explore the therapeutic effects and mechanism of fluorescent mitoxantrone hydrochloride nanoparticles on giant cell tumor of bone. Methods. The adsorption capacity of nanoparticles to hydroxyapatite (HA), cell adsorption capacity, encapsulation rate, particle size, and potential of the nanoparticles were determined by HPLC and Zetasizer Nano ZS nanomicelle potentiometer. MTT assay was used to determine the toxicity of nanoparticles to cells. The fluorescent intensity of the nanoparticles and their location in the cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were then used to measure the expression levels of miRNA, mRNA, and proteins in cells. Transwell and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining tests were used to study the cell invasion and apoptotic rate, respectively. The dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment was then carried out to verify the binding relationship between miR-125b and its predicted target. Results. ALN-FOL-MTO-NLC nanoparticles showed a stronger adsorption capacity for HA and stronger toxicity to GCTB28 cells. Compared to normal tissues, the expression level of miR-125b in giant bone tumor tissue and cells was significantly downregulated, and the expression level of miR-125b was upregulated to some extent after treatment. Overexpression of miR-125b or treatment of ALN-FOL-MTO-NLC nanoparticles can inhibit the malignant behavior of GCTB28 cells, whereas the inhibition of the expression of miR-125b can promote the malignant behavior of GCTB28 cells. The result showed that parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTH1R) was a downstream target gene for miR-125b. Rescue experiment showed that the treatment of GCTB28 with ALN-FOL-MTO-NLC nanoparticles while inhibiting miR-125b expression can reduce the inhibitory effect of miR-125b on the malignant behavior of GCTB28 cells, whereas upregulating the expression levels of miR-125b and PTH1R in GCTB28 cells had no significant effect on the malignant behavior of GCTB28 cells. Conclusion. ALN-FOL-MTO-NLC nanoparticles have a certain inhibitory effect on the malignant behavior of giant cell tumor of bone through the miR-125b/PTH1R molecular axis.

Abstract BackgroundDenosumab is a game-changing drug for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB); however, its clinical biomarker in terms of post-administration ossification of the tumors has not been elucidated. The aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the ossification of GCTB and to evaluate whether endogenous nuclear β-catenin expression predicted denosumab-induced bone formation in GCTB. MethodsWe established cultures of patient-derived primary GCTB stromal cells (pGCTB-SCs) and assessed the osteoblastic characteristics of pGCTB-SCs using cytochemical staining, optical density method (405 nm), and immunocytochemistry. Several mRNA expressions of osteoblastic markers (ALP, collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 (COL1A1), integrin-binding sialoprotein (IBSP), runt-related transcription factor2 (RUNX2), and bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein (BGLAP) was also investigated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. The impact on nuclear β-catenin translocation (NBT) by differentiation-induction was evaluated using Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Wnt signaling inhibitor, GGTI-286, and selective Rac1 inhibitor, NSC23766, were added with OGM to evaluate the essential role of NBT. Furthermore, the distribution of endogenous NBT and the relationship with the tumoral ossification were assessed. Its predictability for the ossification in GCTB was also evaluated using a nuclear β-catenin labeling index (NBLI) of clinical samples (n = 86) and quantitative analyses of CT images.ResultspGCTB-SCs significantly expressed the osteoblastic markers with osteogenic medium (OGM) in a time-dependent manner (P < 0.0001, vs. vehicle). NBT was upregulated within 12 hours after OGM treatment. In addition, decreasing NBT by treatment with 40μM GGTI-286 significantly abolished the osteoblastic differentiation of pGCTB-SCs (P < 0.0001, vs. OGM). The selective Rac1 inhibitor, NSC23766, also suppressed the OGM-induced osteoblastic differentiation and NBT in pGCTB-SCs. Furthermore, in GCTB clinical samples, the NBTs were significantly associated with the tumor ossification following denosumab treatment (P = 0.003 for entire and peripheral tumor, and P = 0.02 for intra-tumor of GCTB) as well as endogenous intra-tumoral ossification. ConclusionsIn summary, our findings suggest a close relationship between the NBT and the osteoblastic differentiation of GCTB. Investigations of NBTs in naïve GCTB samples will provide a promising biomarker for predicting the ossification of GCTB following denosumab treatment.

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

Introduction: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) (synonym – pigmented villonodular synovitis) – is a rare benign proliferative lesion of the synovial sheath, localized in the joint capsule, bursa or tendon sheath and characterized by locally destructive growth. Depending on the prevalence within the joint elements, the presence of a capsule around the tumor, histophotographic features of cell structure and clinical behavior TSGCT can be divided to localized or diffuse type. The aim of the study was researching of histopathological properties of diffuse-type TSGCT, determine the parameters its morphological indicators and to find out the correlation between these morphological and clinical parameters. Materials and methods: The research material was used biopsy (resect) of pathological lesions from 50 patients who were diagnosed and histologically verified diffuse-type TSGCT. Microscopic examinations of the stained sections and their photo archiving were carried out with use of a Olympus-CX 41 light optical microscope. Group measurable parameters (mean values and Pearson tetrachoric index (association coefficient) were calculated in groups of comparison for morphological and clinical indices of TSGCT. The mean values were compared by Student’s test, P value of ≤0.1 was considered statistically significant. Results:Correlation analysis of indicators that accounted for the pairs of cases «clinic – morphology» revealed the relationships, that had the highest parameters of the association coefficient between such indicators: «presence of villous growths» - «severity of hemosiderosis» (if hypertrophied synovial villi available, with vascular injection and pronounced proliferation of synovial cells, there is also a significant accumulation of hemosiderin pigment); «presence of villous growths» - «type of predominant cellular proliferates» (if cells of TSGCT diffuse type consists of monotonous sheets of stromal cells, with uniform, oval to reniform nuclei, the proliferation of villi in synovial layer is non-distinctive); «presence of nodes» - «kind of stroma» (if nodes predominate, their histological structure is mainly represented by polymorphic clusters of synovitis cells in the form of cells, strands, chains, solid formations, among immature connective tissue with low hyalinosis); «cell size (area, cm²)» - «severity of haemosiderosis» and «cell size (area, cm²)» - «the number of multinucleated giant cells» (there is a pronounced deposition of pigment and accumulation of osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells type, although usually their number is relatively small compared to the localized type of TSGCT). Conclusions: Morphological parameters, that we have identified, characterize pathological changes in the tissues of TSGCT; careful analysis of the frequency of their occurrence in the different comparison groups made it possible to establish intergroup differences and correlations between individual indicators, which were previously unknown or not obvious. Our study was determine to analyze of incidence rates and correlation relationships, revealed some previously unknown differences and dependencies that are important for understanding the pathogenesis, improvement of diagnosis and prognosis of diffuse-type TSGCT.
