Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Activates Expression of the Bone‐Related Transcription Factor RUNX2 in Select Human Osteosarcoma Cell Types
28 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Metastasis and poor responsiveness to chemotherapy in osteosarcoma correlates with over-expression of the runt-related transcription factor RUNX2, which normally plays a key role in osteogenic lineage commitment, osteoblast differentiation, and bone formation. Furthermore, WNT/β-catenin signaling is over-activated in osteosarcoma...
