    Meniscus tears are common knee injuries and a major osteoarthritis (OA) risk factor. Knowledge gaps that limit the development of therapies for meniscus injury and degeneration concern transcription factors that control the meniscus cell phenotype. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from 37 human tissues in the Genotype-Tissue Expression database and RNA sequencing data from meniscus and articular cartilage showed that transcription factor Mohawk (MKX) is highly enriched in meniscus. In human meniscus cells, MKX regulates the expression of meniscus marker genes, OA-related genes, and other transcription factors, including Scleraxis (SCX), SRY Box 5 (SOX5), and Runt domain-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). In mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the combination of adenoviral MKX (Ad-MKX) and transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) induced a meniscus cell phenotype. When Ad-MKX-transduced MSCs were seeded on TGF-β3-conjugated decellularized meniscus scaffold (DMS) and inserted into experimental tears in meniscus explants, they increased glycosaminoglycan content, extracellular matrix interconnectivity, cell infiltration into the DMS, and improved biomechanical properties. Ad-MKX injection into mouse knee joints with experimental OA induced by surgical destabilization of the meniscus suppressed meniscus and cartilage damage, reducing OA severity. Ad-MKX injection into human OA meniscus tissue explants corrected pathogenic gene expression. These results identify MKX as a previously unidentified key transcription factor that regulates the meniscus cell phenotype. The combination of Ad-MKX with TGF-β3 is effective for differentiation of MSCs to a meniscus cell phenotype and useful for meniscus repair. MKX is a promising therapeutic target for meniscus tissue engineering, repair, and prevention of OA.

    The lack of circulating biomarkers for tumor monitoring is a major problem in Ewing sarcoma management. The development of methods for accurate tumor monitoring is required, considering the high recurrence rate of drug-resistant Ewing sarcoma. Here, we describe a sensitive analytical technique for tumor monitoring of Ewing sarcoma by detecting circulating extracellular vesicles secreted from Ewing sarcoma cells. Proteomic analysis of Ewing sarcoma cell-derived extracellular vesicles identified 564 proteins prominently observed in extracellular vesicles from three Ewing sarcoma cell lines. Among these, CD99, SLC1A5, and ENO-1 were identified on extracellular vesicles purified from sera of patients with Ewing sarcoma before treatment but not on extracellular vesicles from those after treatment and healthy individuals. Notably, not only Ewing sarcoma-derived extracellular vesicles but also Ewing sarcoma cells demonstrated proteomic expression of CD99 and ENO-1 on their surface membranes. ENO-1+CD63+ extracellular vesicle detection was reduced after tumor resection while both CD99+CD63+ and ENO-1+CD63+ extracellular vesicles were detected in serum from Ewing sarcoma-bearing mice. Finally, the accuracy of liquid biopsy targeting these candidates was assessed using extracellular vesicles from the sera of patients with Ewing sarcoma. Elevated ENO-1+CD81+ extracellular vesicles in the serum of patients before treatments distinguished patients with Ewing sarcoma from healthy individuals with an area under the curve value of 0.92 (P < 0.001) and reflected the tumor burden in patients with Ewing sarcoma during multidisciplinary treatments. Collectively, circulating ENO-1+CD81+ extracellular vesicle detection could represent a novel tool for tumor monitoring of Ewing sarcoma.

    Osteosarcoma (OS), the most frequent primary malignant tumor of bone in children and adolescents, is refractory to immune checkpoint inhibitors due to its poor antitumor immune response. Chemotherapy and virotherapy induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and antitumor immune responses, leading to the abscopal effect in untreated tumors. We previously demonstrated the antitumor activity of the telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenoviruses OBP-301 and p53-armed OBP-702 in human OS cells. Here, we show the therapeutic potential of chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin, cisplatin) and telomerase-specific oncolytic adenoviruses (OBP-301, p53-armed OBP-702) to induce ICD in human OS cells (U2OS, MNNG/HOS, SaOS-2) and murine OS cells (NHOS). OBP-702 induced more profound ICD via the secretion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and high-mobility group box protein B1 (HMGB1) compared with chemotherapy and OBP-301 in human OS cells. Murine NHOS cells were also more sensitive to OBP-702 than OBP-301. Subcutaneous NHOS tumor models demonstrated that intratumoral injection of OBP-702 significantly increased the tumor infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and induced the abscopal effect against non-treated tumors compared with OBP-301. Our results suggest that OBP-702 is a promising antitumor reagent to induce ICD with secretion of ATP and HMGB1 and the abscopal effect against OS.

    Primary malignant bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma, significantly affect the pediatric and young adult populations, necessitating early diagnosis for effective treatment. This study developed a high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) model to detect osteosarcoma from X-ray images using highly accurate annotated data to improve diagnostic accuracy at initial consultations. Traditional models trained on unannotated data have shown limited success, with sensitivities of approximately 60%-70%. In contrast, our model used a data-centric approach with annotations from an experienced oncologist, achieving a sensitivity of 95.52%, specificity of 96.21%, and an area under the curve of 0.989. The model was trained using 468 X-ray images from 31 osteosarcoma cases and 378 normal knee images with a strategy to maximize diversity in the training and validation sets. It was evaluated using an independent dataset of 268 osteosarcoma and 554 normal knee images to ensure generalizability. By applying the U-net architecture and advanced image processing techniques such as renormalization and affine transformations, our AI model outperforms existing models, reducing missed diagnoses and enhancing patient outcomes by facilitating earlier treatment. This study highlights the importance of high-quality training data and advocates a shift towards data-centric AI development in medical imaging. These insights can be extended to other rare cancers and diseases, underscoring the potential of AI in transforming diagnostic processes in oncology. The integration of this AI model into clinical workflows could support physicians in early osteosarcoma detection, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

    This study investigated the potential of the metaverse in providing psychological support for pediatric and AYA cancer patients, with a focus on those with rare cancers. The research involved ten cancer patients and survivors from four distinct regions in Japan, who participated in metaverse sessions using customizable avatars, facilitating interactions across geographical and temporal barriers. Surveys and qualitative feedback were collected to assess the psychosocial impact of the intervention. The results demonstrated that the metaverse enabled patients to connect with peers, share experiences, and receive emotional support. The anonymity provided by avatars helped reduce appearance-related anxiety and stigma associated with cancer treatment. A case study of a 19-year-old male with spinal Ewing’s sarcoma highlighted the profound emotional relief fostered by metaverse interactions. The findings suggest that integrating virtual spaces into healthcare models can effectively address the unique needs of pediatric and AYA cancer patients, offering a transformative approach to delivering psychosocial support and fostering a global patient community. This innovative intervention has the potential to revolutionize patient care in the digital age.

    Soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is a heterogeneous group of rare tumors originating predominantly from the embryonic mesoderm. Despite the development of combined modalities including radiotherapy, STSs are often refractory to antitumor modalities, and novel strategies that improve the prognosis of STS patients are needed. We previously demonstrated the therapeutic potential of two telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenoviruses, OBP-301 and tumor suppressor p53-armed OBP-702, in human STS cells. Here, we demonstrate in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of OBP-702 in combination with ionizing radiation against human STS cells (HT1080, NMS-2, SYO-1). OBP-702 synergistically promoted the antitumor effect of ionizing radiation in the STS cells by suppressing the expression of B-cell lymphoma-X large (BCL-xL) and enhancing ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that this combination therapy significantly suppressed STS tumors' growth. Our results suggest that OBP-702 is a promising antitumor reagent for promoting the radiosensitivity of STS tumors.

    Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas are rare malignancies with histological diversity and tumor heterogeneity, leading to the lack of a common molecular target. Telomerase is a key enzyme for keeping the telomere length and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression is often activated in most human cancers, including bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. For targeting of telomerase-positive tumor cells, we developed OBP-301, a telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus, in which the hTERT promoter regulates adenoviral E1 gene for tumor-specific viral replication. In this study, we present the diagnostic potential of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing oncolytic adenovirus OBP-401 for assessing virotherapy sensitivity using bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. OBP-401-mediated GFP expression was significantly associated with the therapeutic efficacy of OBP-401 in human bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. In the tumor specimens from 68 patients, malignant and intermediate tumors demonstrated significantly higher expression levels of coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and hTERT than benign tumors. OBP-401-mediated GFP expression was significantly increased in malignant and intermediate tumors with high expression levels of CAR and hTERT between 24 and 48 h after infection. Our results suggest that the OBP-401-based GFP expression system is a useful tool for predicting the therapeutic efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy on bone and soft-tissue sarcomas.

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used as a major source for cell therapy, and its application is expanding in various diseases. On the other hand, reliable method to evaluate quality and therapeutic properties of MSC is limited. In this study, we focused on TWIST1 that is a transcription factor regulating stemness of MSCs and found that the transmembrane protein LRRC15 tightly correlated with the expression of TWIST1 and useful to expect TWIST1-regulated stemness of MSCs. The LRRC15-positive MSC populations in human and mouse bone marrow tissues highly expressed stemness-associated transcription factors and therapeutic cytokines, and showed better therapeutic effect in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model mice. This study provides evidence for the important role of TWIST1 in the MSC stemness, and for the utility of the LRRC15 protein as a marker to estimate stem cell quality in MSCs before cell transplantation.

    Introduction  A useful way to easily evaluate femoral rotation during surgery for trochanteric fractures is not known. Hence, this pilot study aimed to develop an intraoperative indicator to evaluate anteversion in femoral trochanteric fractures. Material and methods Prospectively, from June 2021 to January 2022, all patients with femoral trochanteric fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification: 31A1-3) treated using a cephalo-medullary nail with a lag-screw neck-shaft angle of 125° were included in this study. During surgery, lag-screw anteversion (LS-AV) was measured using the goniometer application in an iPhone with the fractured femur table-top-plane level with the traction table floor. Accuracy was analyzed by comparing axial-projected lag-screw anteversion (AxP-LS-AV) and three-dimensional computed tomography lag-screw anteversion (3DCT-LS-AV) measurements after surgery. Results Fifty patients (14 males and 36 females) were included in the study. The mean age was 87 (range; 69-98) years; the Orthopaedic Trauma Association classifications were A1 (28 patients), A2 (18 patients), and A3 (4 patients). The mean LS-AV was 10.7° ± 6.9°, the mean AxP-LS-AV was 12.8° ± 8.3°, and the mean 3DCT-LS-AV was 13.1° ± 8.6°. The median difference between AxP-LS-AV and 3DCT-LS-AV was 3.0° (range: 0°-12°), and 40 (80%) patients had differences of ≤5° (Bland-Altman plot: inside of limit of agreement = 86%, paired t-test p = 0.7, Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.817, p <0.001). Conclusion Femur malrotation is defined as a deformity of >15° relative to the normal contralateral limb. Intraoperative LS-AV iPhone measurement on table-top-plane standard had sufficient accuracy as an indicator of anteversion in femoral trochanteric fractures.

    BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone tumor primarily affecting children and adolescents. The prognosis of chemotherapy-refractory OS patients is poor. We developed a tumor suppressor p53-expressing oncolytic adenovirus (OBP-702) that exhibits antitumor effects against human OS cells. Here, we demonstrate the chemosensitizing effect of OBP-702 in human OS cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of doxorubicin (DOX) and OBP-702 were assessed using parental and DOX-resistant OS cells (U2OS, MNNG/HOS) and a DOX-resistant MNNG/HOS xenograft tumor model. RESULTS: DOX-resistant OS cells exhibited high multidrug resistant 1 (MDR1) expression, which was suppressed by OBP-702 or MDR1 siRNA, resulting in enhanced DOX-induced apoptosis. Compared to monotherapy, OBP-702 and DOX combination therapy significantly suppressed tumor growth in the DOX-resistant MNNG/HOS xenograft tumor model. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that MDR1 is an attractive therapeutic target for chemoresistant OS. Tumor-specific virotherapy is thus a promising strategy for reversing chemoresistance in OS patients via suppression of MDR1 expression.

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors including anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) antibody have recently improved clinical outcome in certain cancer patients; however, osteosarcoma (OS) patients are refractory to PD-1 blockade. Oncolytic virotherapy has emerged as novel immunogenic therapy to augment antitumor immune response. We developed a telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus OBP-502 that induces lytic cell death via binding to integrins. In this study, we assessed the combined effect of PD-1 blockade and OBP-502 in OS cells. The expression of coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR), integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5, and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was analyzed in two murine OS cells (K7M2, NHOS). The cytopathic activity of OBP-502 in both cells was analyzed using the XTT assay. OBP-502-induced immunogenic cell death was assessed by analyzing the level of extracellular ATP and high-mobility group box protein B1 (HMGB1). Subcutaneous tumor models for K7M2 and NHOS cells were used to evaluate the antitumor effect and number of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ cells in combination therapy. K7M2 and NHOS cells showed high expression of integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5, but not CAR. OBP-502 significantly suppressed the viability of both cells, in which PD-L1 expression and the release of ATP and HMGB1 were significantly increased. Intratumoral injection of OBP-502 significantly augmented the efficacy of PD-1 blockade on subcutaneous K2M2 and NHOS tumor models via enhancement of tumor-infiltrating CD8+  T cells. Our results suggest that telomerase-specific oncolytic virotherapy is a promising antitumor strategy to promote the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in OS.

    The lack of noninvasive biomarkers that can be used for tumor monitoring is a major problem for soft-tissue sarcomas. Here we describe a sensitive analytical technique for tumor monitoring by detecting circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) of patients with synovial sarcoma (SS). The proteomic analysis of purified EVs from SYO-1, HS-SY-II, and YaFuSS identified 199 common proteins. DAVID GO analysis identified monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) as a surface marker of SS-derived EVs, which was also highly expressed in SS patient-derived EVs compared with healthy individuals. MCT1+CD9+ EVs were also detected from SS-bearing mice and their expression levels were significantly correlated with tumor volume (p = 0.003). Furthermore, serum levels of MCT1+CD9+ EVs reflected tumor burden in SS patients. Immunohistochemistry revealed that MCT1 was positive in 96.7% of SS specimens and its expression on the cytoplasm/plasma membrane was significantly associated with worse overall survival (p = 0.002). Silencing of MCT1 reduced the cellular viability, and migration and invasion capability of SS cells. This work describes a new liquid biopsy technique to sensitively monitor SS using circulating MCT1+CD9+ EVs and indicates the therapeutic potential of MCT1 in SS.

    Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare cancer that develops from soft tissues in any part of the body. Despite major advances in the treatment of STS, patients are often refractory to conventional radiotherapy, leading to poor prognosis. Enhancement of sensitivity to radiotherapy would therefore improve the clinical outcome of STS patients. We previously revealed that the tumor-specific, replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus OBP-301 kills human sarcoma cells. In this study, we investigated the radiosensitizing effect of OBP-301 in human STS cells. The in vitro antitumor effect of OBP-301 and ionizing radiation in monotherapy or combination therapy was assessed using highly radiosensitive (RD-ES and SK-ES-1) and moderately radiosensitive (HT1080 and NMS-2) STS cell lines. The expression of markers for apoptosis and DNA damage were evaluated in STS cells after treatment. The therapeutic potential of combination therapy was further analyzed using SK-ES-1 and HT1080 cells in subcutaneous xenograft tumor models. The combination of OBP-301 and ionizing radiation showed a synergistic antitumor effect in all human STS cell lines tested, including those that show different radiosensitivity. OBP-301 was found to enhance irradiation-induced apoptosis and DNA damage via suppression of anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1), which was expressed at higher levels in moderately radiosensitive cell lines. The combination of OBP-301 and ionizing radiation showed a more profound antitumor effect compared to monotherapy in SK-ES-1 (highly radiosensitive) and HT1080 (moderately radiosensitive) subcutaneous xenograft tumors. OBP-301 is a promising antitumor reagent to improve the therapeutic potential of radiotherapy by increasing radiation-induced apoptosis in STS.

    Unidirectional porous hydroxyapatite (UDPHAp) was developed as an excellent scaffold with unidirectional pores oriented in the horizontal direction with interpore connections. The purpose of this study was to assess radiographic changes and clinical outcomes and complications following UDPHAp implantation to treat benign bone tumors. We retrospectively analyzed 44 patients treated with intralesional resection and UDPHAp implantation for benign bone tumors between 2010 and 2015. Clinical and radiographic findings were evaluated postoperatively at regular follow-up visits. The mean follow-up was 49 months. Radiographic changes were classified into five stages based on bone formation in the implanted UDPHAp according to Tamai's classification. All patients showed excellent bone formation inside and around implanted UDPHAp. Absorption of UDPHAp and bone marrow cavity remodeling was identified in 20 patients at a mean of 17 months postoperatively, and was significantly more common in young patients. Preoperative cortical thinning was completely regenerated in 26 of 31 patients on average 10 months after surgery. There were no cases of delayed wound healing, postoperative infection, or allergic reaction related to implanted UDPHAp. UDPHAp is a useful bone-filling substitute for treating benign bone tumor, and the use of this material has a low complication rate.

    BACKGROUND: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a rare malignancy that transitions from an atypical lipomatous tumor to a sarcoma with a variable morphologic appearance. The behavior of this tumor in the retroperitoneum is aggressive, but the behavior of DDLPS in the extremities is less well-defined because it is rare. Few reports have assessed the imaging features and clinical outcomes of primary DDLPS in the extremities. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: In patients with primary DDLPS of the extremity, we asked the following questions: (1) How frequently do additional primary malignancies occur in patients with DDLPS? (2) What is the rate of overall survival, metastases, and local recurrence in DDLPS? (3) What factors are associated with metastasis-free survival and local recurrence in DDLPS? METHODS: We defined DDLPS as a biphasic neoplasm that transitions from an atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) to a sarcoma of variable morphologic appearance and histologic grades. We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of patients with DDLPS of the extremities who underwent surgery in our institution between 2003 and 2017. During that time, 16 patients were treated for this diagnosis; one was excluded from this study because the patient did not have an MRI, leaving 15 patients (nine men, six women; their median [range] age was 67 years [42 to 87]) for evaluation. All had a minimum of 2 years follow-up (median [range] 54 months [25 to 136]); 14 of 15 have been seen in the last 5 years (one patient, who was doing well at the time, was lost after 9 years of follow-up). In 11 patients, MRI demonstrated two components: an ALT component with high intensity on both T1-weighed and T2-weighted sequences and a dedifferentiated component low-to-intermediate intensity on T1-weighed and heterogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted sequence. Nine patients were evaluated using 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) combined with CT (PET/CT). PET/CT showed a biphasic pattern with a close relationship to MRI findings. The dedifferentiated component presented with high FDG uptake (median [range] maximum standardized uptake value 5.1 [1.9 to 22.6]), while the atypical lipomatous tumor component showed almost no FDG uptake. In all patients, immunohistochemical studies of p16 and cyclin-dependent kinase-4 (CDK4) were investigated. Positive staining for both p16 and CDK4 were seen in 13 of 15 patients.We retrospectively evaluated the electronic medical records of all patients in our institution for the presence of additional primary malignancies, local recurrence-free survival, metastasis-free survival, and overall survival. The survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Wilcoxon exact test was used to determine the prognostic importance of the following survival variables: age, sex, maximum tumor size, radiotherapy, and surgical margin. RESULTS: Seven additional primary malignancies developed in five of 15 patients (two lung cancers, two sarcomas, one renal cell cancer, one uterine cancer, and one non-Hodgkin lymphoma). The 3- and 5-year metastasis-free survival rates were 86% (95% CI 0.67 to 1.00) and 75% (95% CI 0.49 to 1.00), respectively. With the numbers available, we found no factors associated with metastasis-free survival. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 100% (95% CI 1.00 to 1.00) and 88% (95% CI 0.65 to 1.00), respectively. Three of 15 patients had local recurrence. The 3- and 5-year local recurrence-free survival rates were 86% (95% CI 0.67 to 1.00) and 75% (95% CI 0.49 to 1.00), respectively. Large (> 15 cm) tumors were more likely to have a local recurrence (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: In this small series, we found that the extremities are a favorable site for DDLPS compared with the retroperitoneum, although we did not directly compare the two sites. This rare tumor has a relatively high likelihood of being associated with other malignancies. We believe patients should be assessed and monitored carefully for this possibility. In the future, larger studies are needed to better define predictors of local recurrence, although the tumor's size may be associated with a greater propensity for local recurrence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prognostic study.

    Infiltrative tumor growth into adjacent soft tissues is a major cause of the frequent recurrence and tumor-related death of myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), but no useful biomarkers reflecting tumor burden and infiltrative growth are available. While emerging evidence suggests a diagnostic and functional role of extracellular/circulating microRNA (miRNA) in various malignant diseases, their significance in MFS patients remains unknown. Global miRNA profiling identified four upregulated miRNAs in MFS patient sera and culture media of MFS cells. Among these, serum miR-1260b level was significantly upregulated in patient serum discriminating from healthy individuals and closely correlated with clinical status and tumor dynamics in MFS-bearing mice. In addition, high miR-1260b expression in serum was correlated with radiological tail-like patterns, characteristic of the infiltrative MFS. The extracellular miR-1260b was embedded in tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and promoted cellular invasion of MFS through the downregulation of PCDH9 in the adjacent normal fibroblasts. Collectively, circulating miR-1260b expression may represent a novel diagnostic target for tumor monitoring of this highly aggressive sarcoma. Moreover, EV-miR-1260b could act as a transfer messenger to adjacent cells and mediate the infiltrative growth of MFS, providing new insights into the mechanism of infiltrative nature via crosstalk between tumor cells and their microenvironment.

    Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) is widely and frequently used as a virus vector in cancer gene therapy and oncolytic virotherapy. Oncolytic virotherapy is a novel antitumor treatment for inducing lytic cell death in tumor cells without affecting normal cells. Based on the Ad5 genome, we have generated three types of telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenoviruses: OBP-301 (Telomelysin), green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing OBP-401 (TelomeScan), and tumor suppressor p53-armed OBP-702. These viruses drive the expression of the adenoviral E1A and E1B genes under the control of the hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase-encoding gene) promoter, providing tumor-specific virus replication. This review focuses on the therapeutic potential of three hTERT promoter-driven oncolytic adenoviruses against bone and soft-tissue sarcoma cells with telomerase activity. OBP-301 induces the antitumor effect in monotherapy or combination therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs via induction of autophagy and apoptosis. OBP-401 enables visualization of sarcoma cells within normal tissues by serving as a tumor-specific labeling reagent for fluorescence-guided surgery via induction of GFP expression. OBP-702 exhibits a profound antitumor effect in OBP-301-resistant sarcoma cells via activation of the p53 signaling pathway. Taken together, telomerase-specific oncolytic adenoviruses are promising antitumor reagents that are expected to provide novel therapeutic options for the treatment of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas.

    BACKGROUND: The choice of reconstructive procedure to restore limb function is challenging after internal hemipelvectomy. Hip transposition arthroplasty, also known as resection arthroplasty, removes a malignant or aggressive tumor of the pelvis and acetabulum after which the remaining femoral head is moved proximally to the lateral surface side of the sacrum or the underside of the resected ilium after internal hemipelvectomy. It may provide reasonable functional results and have some advantages such as lowering the risk of an infected implant compared with other reconstructions because no foreign implants are used. Hip transposition is generally managed with prolonged bed rest or immobilization postoperatively to stabilize the soft tissue surrounding the remaining femur. Because enabling patients to be mobile while the soft tissues heal might be advantageous, we reviewed our experience with an external fixation for this procedure. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: (1) Does temporary external fixation facilitate postoperative physiotherapy in patients who undergo hip transposition arthroplasty? (2) What functional Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores were achieved at short term in a small series of patients treated with hip transposition and temporary external fixation? (3) What were the complications of using external fixation in a small series of patients who received it for malignant tumors? METHODS: Between 2008 and 2012, we treated seven patients (three men and four women; median age, 37 years; age range, 18-53 years) with acetabular resection for malignant bone tumors; all were managed with a hip transposition, initially stabilized using external fixation. No other types of procedures were used for this indication in this period. Minimum followup in this retrospective study was 45 months, except for one patient who died at 18 months (range of followup duration, 18-90 months; median followup, 57 months), and no patients were lost to followup. The pins for external fixation were inserted into the affected side of the femur and the healthy contralateral ilium. External fixation was removed 6 weeks postoperatively and weightbearing was started at that time. Preoperative chemotherapy was administrated in four patients, but postoperative chemotherapy was delayed since it was given after external fixation removal in three patients. The postoperative rehabilitation course and functional results were assessed by chart review, functional results were determined using MSTS scores, tallied by physiotherapists who were not part of the surgical team, and complications were ascertained through chart review. Major complications were defined as complications that were treated with additional operations, such as deep infection, or ones that could cause severe postoperative dysfunction, such as nerve injury. RESULTS: With temporary external fixation, standing next to a bed was achieved in median 7 days (range, 6-9 days) postoperatively, transferring to a wheel chair in median 8 days (range, 6-28 days), and gait training using parallel bars in median 15 days (range, 7-48 days). At most recent followup, three patients could walk without a crutch or cane, three could walk with a cane, and one could walk with a crutch. The median MSTS score at most recent followup (median, 57 months) was 63%. Two patients had complications that resulted in reoperations; one had a wound dehiscence, and one had an abdominal herniation that gradually developed, and which was reconstructed using polypropylene mesh 2 years after pelvic resection. Two patients had nerve palsies that recovered by the end of the first year. All patients had pin tract infections that resolved with nonsurgical approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Hip transposition with temporary external fixation can stabilize the bone soft tissue after pelvic resection. Although we did not have a comparison group of patients, we believe that external fixation facilitates early postoperative physiotherapy and rehabilitation and provides good functional results without major surgical complications. Because it delays the resumption of chemotherapy, more patients with longer followup are needed to determine whether this will be associated with poorer oncologic results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study.

    A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 12 (ADAM12) is known to be involved in chondrocyte proliferation and maturation; however, the mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, expression and localization of ADAM12 during chondrocyte differentiation were examined in the mouse growth plate by immunohistochemistry. Adam12 expression during ATDC5 chondrogenic differentiation was examined by real-time PCR and compared with the expression pattern of type X collagen. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system was used to generate Adam12-knockout (KO) ATDC5 cells. Adam12-KO and Adam12 overexpressing cells were used for analyses of ADAM12 expression with or without TGF-β1 stimulation. ADAM12 was identified predominantly in chondrocytes of the proliferative zone in mouse growth plates by immunohistochemistry. Adam12 was upregulated prior to Col10a1 during chondrogenic differentiation in wild-type ATDC5 cells. In Adam12-KO ATDC5 cells, following initiation of chondrogenic differentiation, we observed a reduction in Igf-1 expression along with an upregulation of hypertrophy-associated Runx2, Col10a1, and type X collagen protein expressions. In ATDC5 wild-type cells, stimulation with TGF-β1 upregulated the expressions of Adam12 and Igf-1 and downregulated the expression of Runx2. In contrast, in Adam12-KO ATDC5 cells, these TGF-β1-induced changes were suppressed. Adam12 overexpression resulted in an upregulation of Igf-1 and downregulation of Runx2 expression in ATDC5 cells. The findings suggest that ADAM12 has important role in the regulation of chondrocyte differentiation, potentially by regulation of TGF-β1-dependent signaling and that targeting of ADAM12 may have a role in management of abnormal chondrocyte differentiation.

    BACKGROUND: Although osteoid osteomas have traditionally been treated by surgical excision, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained favor as a less invasive procedure. However, RFA is contraindicated for osteoid osteomas close to the skin or crucial neurovascular structures, and is not covered by national health insurance in Japan. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of surgical excision of osteoid osteomas using intraoperative navigation. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of five patients with osteoid osteoma who underwent a mini-open excision using O-arm/Stealth navigation at our institution. The osteoid osteomas were excised using a cannulated cutter or curetted out with the assistance of navigation. RESULTS: Complete excision was achieved in all patients, which was confirmed by pathological examination. The mean skin incision was 2.1 cm (range, 1.5 to 3.0 cm) and the mean duration required for setup three-dimensional image was 15 min (range, 12 to 20 min). Although the mean visual analog scale score was 7 (range, 4 to 8) before surgery, all patients experienced relief from their characteristic pain immediately after surgery, with the mean scores of 2.2 (range, 1 to 3) and 0 at 2 days and 4 weeks after surgery, respectively. There was no intra-operative complication related to the navigation and no recurrence was observed during the mean follow-up period of 25 months (range, 13 to 33 months). CONCLUSIONS: Mini-open excision using intraoperative O-arm/Stealth navigation is a safe and accurate procedure for patients with osteoid osteoma, which could cover the limitation of RFA.

    INTRODUCTION: Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) can occur in middle-aged patients who have a posteromedial painful popping during light activities. MMPRTs are more common in patients with increased age, female gender, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and varus knee alignment. However, injury mechanisms of minor traumatic MMPRTs are still unclear. We hypothesized that high flexion activities are the major cause of MMPRTs. The aim of this study was to clarify injury patterns of MMPRTs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred patients were diagnosed having MMPRTs after posteromedial painful popping episodes. Details of posteromedial painful popping episode, situation of injury, and position of injured leg were obtained from the patients by careful interviews. Injury patterns were divided into 8 groups: descending knee motion, walking, squatting, standing up action, falling down, twisting, light exercise, and minor automobile accident. RESULTS: A descending knee motion was the most common cause of MMPRTs (38%) followed by a walking injury pattern (18%) and a squatting action related to high flexion activities of the knee (13%). The other injury patterns were less than 10%. DISCUSSION: Descending knee motions associated with descending stairs, step, and downhill slope are the most common injury pattern of MMPRTs. High flexion activities of the knee are not the greatest cause of MMPRTs. Our results suggest that the descending action with a low knee flexion angle may trigger minor traumatic MMPRTs.

    A fibula graft is one of the most common orthopedic procedures for reconstruction of a bone defect, and some complications related to persistent defects of the fibula have been reported previously. We believe that regeneration of the fibula may be critical for postoperative function and prevention of complications. This report describes a 9-year-old female with Ewing sarcoma of the pelvis who was treated with the double-barrel fibula grafts for pelvic bone defect following tumor resection. The defect after fibular resection was filled with unidirectional porous hydroxyapatite (UDPHAp) implants. A plain radiograph revealed new bone formation and a callus-like structure at one month after surgery and bony union between each UDPHAp implant 5 months after surgery. Resorption of implanted UDPHAp was identified, and partial remodeling of the bone marrow cavity could be seen 1 year 2 months after surgery. A radiograph at final follow-up (5 years 10 months after surgery) demonstrated almost complete absorption of the implanted UDPHAp and clear formation of the cortex and bone marrow in the resected part of the fibula. The patient is able to walk well without any walking supports and to take part in sports activities.

    BACKGROUND: Although emerging evidence has suggested that computer-assisted navigation allows surgeons to plan the optimal level of resection without compromising the surgical margins, the precise accuracy of the procedures has been unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and safety of the musculoskeletal tumor resection using O-arm/Stealth intraoperative navigation assistance. METHODS: A retrospective study of six patients with bone and soft tissue tumors who underwent surgical resection using O-arm/Stealth navigation system was performed. The histological diagnosis was osteosarcoma, metastatic bone tumor, leiomyosarcoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, and synovial sarcoma, respectively. Tumor resection was performed according to planned osteotomy planes determined on O-arm/Stealth three-dimensional intraoperative images. The resection accuracy, length of time for the procedures, surgical margins, and perioperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS: The distances between the entry and exit points for the planned and actual cuts were 1.5 ± 0.3 mm and 2.3 ± 0.3 mm, respectively, and the mean discrepancy of the osteotomy angle was 2.8 ± 1.2°. The mean length of time required for navigation was 14 min. A histological examination revealed clear margins in all patients. There were no complications related to navigation, and no patients developed local recurrence during a mean follow-up of 30.6 months. CONCLUSIONS: The O-arm/Stealth intraoperative CT navigation system provides safe and accurate osteotomy in musculoskeletal tumor resections. However, surgeons should keep in mind and be careful of minimal errors during osteotomy, which are around 2 mm from the planned line.

    Although there is considerable evidence indicating that the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in malignant tumors plays a role in tumor development, the overall function of miRNAs and their clinicopathological significance are not well understood. In this retrospective analysis of 45 biopsy specimens from osteosarcoma (OS) patients, we investigated the functional and clinical significance of miR-25-3p in OS, which we previously identified as a highly expressed miRNA in OS patients' serum. We observed that miR-25-3p dysregulation in human OS tissues was negatively correlated with the clinical prognosis, whereas the expression level of its target gene, Dickkopf WNT Signaling Pathway Inhibitor 3 (DKK3), was positively correlated with the clinical prognosis. Endogenous miR-25-3p upregulation promoted tumor growth, invasion, and drug resistance, which was consistent with DKK3 silencing in OS cells. In addition, secretory miR-25-3p was embedded in tumor-derived exosomes, where it promoted capillary formation and the invasion of vascular endothelial cells. Overall, our results show that miR-25-3p has intracellular and extracellular oncogenic functions as well as clinicopathological relevance in OS, indicating its potential as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the clinical management of this disease.

    The lack of useful biomarkers is a crucial problem for patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs). Emerging evidence has suggested that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in body fluids have novel impact as biomarkers for patients with malignant diseases, but their significance in synovial sarcoma (SS) patients remains unknown. Initial global miRNA screening using SS patient serum and SS cell culture media identified a signature of four upregulated miRNAs. Among these candidates, miR-92b-3p secretion from SS cells was confirmed, which was embedded within tumour-derived exosomes rather than argonaute-2. Animal experiments revealed a close correlation between serum miR-92b-3p levels and tumour dynamics. Clinical relevance was validated in two independent clinical cohorts, and we subsequently identified that serum miR-92b-3p levels were significantly higher in SS patients in comparison to that in healthy individuals. Moreover, serum miR-92b-3p was robust in discriminating patients with SS from the other STS patients and reflected tumour burden in SS patients. Overall, liquid biopsy using serum miR-92b-3p expression levels may represent a novel approach for monitoring tumour dynamics of SS.

    Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant bone tumor that causes bone destruction. Although tumor-specific replicating oncolytic adenovirus OBP-301 induces an antitumor effect in an osteosarcoma tumor, it cannot prevent bone destruction. Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a clinically available agent that inhibits bone destruction. In this study, we investigated the potential of combination therapy with OBP-301 and ZOL against osteosarcomas with bone destruction. The antitumor activity of OBP-301 and ZOL in monotherapy or combination therapy was assessed using three human osteosarcoma cell lines (143B, MNNG/HOS, SaOS-2). The cytotoxic effect of OBP-301 and/or ZOL was measured by assay of cell apoptosis. The effect of OBP-301 and ZOL on osteoclast activation was investigated. The potential of combination therapy against tumor growth and bone destruction was analyzed using an orthotopic 143B osteosarcoma xenograft tumor model. OBP-301 and ZOL decreased the viability of human osteosarcoma cells. Combination therapy with OBP-301 and ZOL displayed a synergistic antitumor effect, in which OBP-301 promoted apoptosis through suppression of anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1). Combination therapy significantly inhibited tumor-mediated osteoclast activation, tumor growth and bone destruction compared to monotherapy. These results suggest that combination therapy of OBP-301 and ZOL suppresses osteosarcoma progression via suppression of MCL1 and osteoclast activation.

    Oncolytic virotherapy has recently emerged as a promising strategy for inducing tumor-specific cell death. Adenoviruses are widely and frequently used in oncolytic virotherapy. The mechanism of oncolytic adenovirus-mediated tumor suppression involves virus-induced activation of the autophagic machinery in tumor cells. Autophagy is a cytoprotective process that produces energy via lysosomal degradation of intracellular components as a physiologic response to various stresses, including hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and disruption of growth signaling. However, infection with oncolytic adenoviruses induces autophagy and subsequent death of tumor cells rather than enhancing their survival. In this review, we summarize the beneficial role of autophagy in oncolytic adenoviral therapy, including the roles of infection, replication, and cell lysis. Numerous factors are involved in the promotion and inhibition of oncolytic adenovirus-mediated autophagy. Furthermore, recent evidence has shown that oncolytic adenoviruses induce autophagy-related immunogenic cell death (ICD), which enhances the antitumor immune response by inducing the activation of danger signal molecules and thus represents a novel cancer immunotherapy. Understanding the precise role of oncolytic adenovirus-induced autophagy and ICD could enhance the therapeutic potential of oncolytic adenoviral therapy for treating various cancers.

    Intracerebral inflammation resulting from injury or disease is implicated in disruption of neural regeneration and may lead to irreversible neuronal dysfunction. Analysis of inflammation-related microRNA profiles in various tissues, including the brain, has identified miR-155 among the most prominent miRNAs linked to inflammation. Here, we hypothesize that miR-155 mediates inflammation-induced suppression of neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewal. Using primary mouse NSCs and human NSCs derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, we demonstrate that three important genes involved in NSC self-renewal (Msi1, Hes1 and Bmi1) are suppressed by miR-155. We also demonstrate that suppression of self-renewal genes is mediated by the common transcription factor C/EBPβ, which is a direct target of miR-155. Our study describes an axis linking inflammation and miR-155 to expression of genes related to NSC self-renewal, suggesting that regulation of miR-155 may hold potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating neuroinflammatory diseases.

    The objective was to investigate the levels of TWIST1 in normal and OA cartilage and examine its role in regulating gene expression in chondrocytes. Human cartilage tissues and chondrocytes were obtained at autopsy from normal knee joints and from OA-affected joints at the time of total knee arthroplasty. TWIST1 expression was increased in human OA knee cartilage compared to normal knee cartilage. TWIST1 induced matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) expression without direct binding to MMP3 promoter and increased the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) level at the MMP3 promoter. The effect of TWIST1 on expression of TET family (TET1, 2 and 3) was measured in stable TWIST1 transfected TC28 cells, and TET1 expression was up-regulated. TWIST1 dependent upregulation of Mmp3 expression was suppressed in Tet triple KO fibroblast derived from mouse ES cells. Increased TWIST1 expression is a feature of OA-affected cartilage. We identified a novel mechanism of catabolic reaction where TWIST1 up-regulates MMP3 expression by enriching 5hmC levels at the MMP3 promoter via TET1 induction. These findings implicate TWIST1 as an important factor regulating OA related gene expression. Clarifying epigenetic mechanisms of 5hmC induced by TWIST1 is a critical molecule to understanding OA pathogenesis.

    Osteosarcoma is a rare disease diagnosed as malignant bone tumor. It is generally refractory to chemotherapy, which contributes to its poor prognosis. The reversal of chemoresistance is a major clinical challenge to improve the prognostic outcome of osteosarcoma patients. We developed a tumor-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301 (telomelysin) and assessed its synergistic effects with chemotherapeutic agents (cisplatin and doxorubicin) using human osteosarcoma cell lines and a xenograft tumor model. The molecular mechanism underlying the chemosensitizing effect of OBP-301 was evaluated in aspects of apoptosis induction. OBP-301 inhibits anti-apoptotic myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) expression, which in turn leads to chemosensitization in human osteosarcoma cells. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of MCL1 expression sensitized human osteosarcoma cells to common chemotherapeutic agents. We also found that upregulation of microRNA-29 targeting MCL1 via virally induced transcriptional factor E2F-1 activation was critical for the enhancement of chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells. Telomerase-specific oncolytic adenovirus synergistically suppressed the viability of human osteosarcoma cells in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. The combination treatment also significantly inhibited tumor growth, as compared to monotherapy, in an osteosarcoma xenograft tumor model. Our data suggest that replicative virus-mediated tumor-specific MCL1 ablation may be a promising strategy to attenuate chemoresistance in osteosarcoma patients.

    Background: The surgical management of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in elderly patients has only been addressed in a few studies. The objective of the current study was to assess surgical outcomes in patients with STS aged 70 years and older and the association of older age with the survival after complete resection.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in 158 elderly patients with localized STS who visited 11 institutions participating in Japanese Musculoskeletal Oncology Group between 1995 and 2006 and were treated by surgical resection. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.
    Results: Median follow-up period was 38 months. Histologically high-grade tumors were detected in 71% of the patients. Wide resection with adequate margins was performed in 66% of the cases. Systemic chemotherapy was performed in only 5 patients. Univariate analysis identified histological grade and gender as statistically significant prognostic factors for sarcoma-specific survival. Multivariate analysis did not identify significant prognostic factors for sarcoma-specific survival, although high grade sarcoma emerged as a potentially significant prognostic factor (P = 0.050). Local recurrence was detected in 19% of the patients. Multivariate analysis of local recurrence-free survival showed that tumor site and surgical margins were statistically significant prognostic factors.
    Conclusions: Older age was not identified as a prognostic factor for sarcoma-specific survival, which is not consistent with the findings of previous studies showing that older age was associated with decreased sarcoma-specific survival. Complete resection should be indicated and can lead to optimal treatment outcome for properly selected elderly patients. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Tumor suppressor p53 is a multifunctional transcription factor that regulates diverse cell fates, including apoptosis and autophagy in tumor biology. p53 overexpression enhances the antitumor activity of oncolytic adenoviruses; however, the molecular mechanism of this occurrence remains unclear. We previously developed a tumor-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301, that kills human osteosarcoma cells, but some human osteosarcoma cells were OBP-301-resistant. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity of a p53-expressing oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-702, and the molecular mechanism of the p53-mediated cell death pathway in OBP-301-resistant human osteosarcoma cells. The cytopathic activity of OBP-702 was examined in OBP-301-sensitive (U2OS and HOS) and OBP-301-resistant (SaOS-2 and MNNG/HOS) human osteosarcoma cells. The molecular mechanism in the OBP-702-mediated induction of two cell death pathways, apoptosis and autophagy, was investigated in OBP-301-resistant osteosarcoma cells. The antitumor effect of OBP-702 was further assessed using an orthotopic OBP-301-resistant MNNG/HOS osteosarcoma xenograft tumor model. OBP-702 suppressed the viability of OBP-301-sensitive and -resistant osteosarcoma cells more efficiently than OBP-301 or a replication-deficient p53-expressing adenovirus (Ad-p53). OBP-702 induced more profound apoptosis and autophagy when compared with OBP-301 or Ad-p53. E1A-mediated miR-93/106b upregulation induced p21 suppression, leading to p53-mediated apoptosis and autophagy in OBP-702-infected cells. p53 overexpression enhanced adenovirus-mediated autophagy through activation of damage-regulated autophagy modulator (DRAM). Moreover, OBP-702 suppressed tumor growth in an orthotopic OBP-301-resistant MNNG/HOS xenograft tumor model. These results suggest that OBP-702-mediated p53 transactivation is a promising antitumor strategy to induce dual apoptotic and autophagic cell death pathways via regulation of miRNA and DRAM in human osteosarcoma cells.

    Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) is frequently used as an effective vector for induction of therapeutic transgenes in cancer gene therapy or of tumor cell lysis in oncolytic virotherapy. Ad5 can infect target cells through binding with the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). Thus, the infectious ability of Ad5-based vectors depends on the CAR expression level in target cells. There are conventional methods to evaluate the CAR expression level in human target cells, including flow cytometry, western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Here, we show a simple system for detection and assessment of functional CAR expression in human tumor cells, using the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing telomerase-specific replication-competent adenovirus OBP-401. OBP-401 infection induced detectable GFP expression in CAR-expressing tumor cells, but not in CAR-negative tumor cells, nor in CAR-positive normal fibroblasts, 24 h after infection. OBP-401-mediated GFP expression was significantly associated with CAR expression in tumor cells. OBP-401 infection detected tumor cells with low CAR expression more efficiently than conventional methods. OBP-401 also distinguished CAR-positive tumor tissues from CAR-negative tumor and normal tissues in biopsy samples. These results suggest that GFP-expressing telomerase-specific replication-competent adenovirus is a very potent diagnostic tool for assessment of functional CAR expression in tumor cells for Ad5-based antitumor therapy.

    PURPOSE: Tumor-specific replication-selective oncolytic virotherapy is a promising antitumor therapy for induction of cell death in tumor cells but not of normal cells. We previously developed an oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301, that kills human epithelial malignant cells in a telomerase-dependent manner. Recent evidence suggests that nonepithelial malignant cells, which have low telomerase activity, maintain telomere length through alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). However, it remains unclear whether OBP-301 is cytopathic for nonepithelial malignant cells. Here, we evaluated the antitumor effect of OBP-301 on human bone and soft tissue sarcoma cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The cytopathic activity of OBP-301, coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) expression, and telomerase activity were examined in 10 bone (OST, U2OS, HOS, HuO9, MNNG/HOS, SaOS-2, NOS-2, NOS-10, NDCS-1, and OUMS-27) and in 4 soft tissue (CCS, NMS-2, SYO-1, and NMFH-1) sarcoma cell lines. OBP-301 antitumor effects were assessed using orthotopic tumor xenograft models. The fiber-modified OBP-301 (termed OBP-405) was used to confirm an antitumor effect on OBP-301-resistant sarcomas. RESULTS: OBP-301 was cytopathic for 12 sarcoma cell lines but not for the non-CAR-expressing OUMS-27 and NMFH-1 cells. Sensitivity to OBP-301 was dependent on CAR expression and not on telomerase activity. ALT-type sarcomas were also sensitive to OBP-301 because of upregulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA following virus infection. Intratumoral injection of OBP-301 significantly suppressed the growth of OST and SYO-1 tumors. Furthermore, fiber-modified OBP-405 showed antitumor effects on OBP-301-resistant OUMS-27 and NMFH-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS: A telomerase-specific oncolytic adenovirus is a promising antitumor reagent for the treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas.

    54歳女。変形性股関節症で、10年前に右股関節に対しセメントTHAを施行し、今回、左股関節に対しTHAを施行した。Cup挿入にはnavigationを使用し、Stemは術前CTプランニングと同サイズをnavigation非使用で術中骨折等の合併症なく挿入した。術後2日で荷重歩行を開始し、術後1週のCTで骨折などは認めず経過良好であったが、術後2週で2mmのsubsidenceを認めた。荷重制限は行わず、術後3週でT字杖一本歩行で自宅退院し経過観察していたところ、徐々に骨萎縮が進行し、術後1年では著明な跛行およびX線上約4mmのsubsidenceと大腿骨の膨化を認めた。再置換術は希望されず、更に術後2年では約2cmのsubsidenceが生じ、術後2年6ヵ月にはステム遠位部での骨形成がみられた。術後2年以降、subsidenceの進行は認めていない。

    今回の研究では、臨床応用まで見据えた計画としたいため、研究目標として薬事承認を目指すこととした。そのために必要な、国内臨床試験(性能試験)を予定することとなった。そのため、研究をプログラム開発のための探索フェーズと、臨床試験フェーズ(薬事申請提出用データ)に分けて設定することとした。そのため、倫理委員会の申請も分けて行うこととし、岡山大学内にある新医療開発センターへ相談し、倫理委員会の申請から分けて行うことした。新規の倫理委員会申請書類を作成し、新医療開発センターによる書類のレビューを行い申請を行った。また、データ提供いただいている研究協力施設(近畿大学病院、弘前大学附属病院、金沢大学付属病院、大阪国際医療センター、水島中央病院)へも新規に倫理委員会申請となることを説明し了解を得て、これまでの研究については一旦終了扱いとして、新規に当院の認定倫理委員会で一括審査を行っている。また、臨床使用を目指すため、画像データはこれまでの研究ではPNGデータで開発を行ってきたが、DICOMそのもののデータを匿名化したもので再度開発を開始する体制を構築した。匿名化のステータス確認のために、新医療開発センター内において匿名化に問題がないことを確認後、データをクラウドに移行して研究を行うこととしている。また、薬事申請のために、PMDAへの事前相談を予定しており、新規研究計画が承認され次第、資料作成と相談を行う予定である。

    The lack of non-invasive biomarkers that can be used to monitor tumors has become a major problem in bone and soft tissue sarcomas. In this study, we aimed; (1) to identify the disease-specific microRNA (miRNA) in myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) and the novel molecular pathway of tumor progression, and (2) to detect the molecular marker of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in synovial sarcoma (SS). (1) miR-1260b was highly expressed in the serum of MFS patients, and showed high levels in infiltrative MFS, indicating an association with infiltration proliferation. (2) As a surface marker for EVs from SS patient’s serum, MCT1 was highly expressed in EVs from SS patients. Serum levels of MCT1 reflected tumor burden in SS patients. Collectively, we devised a new liquid biopsy technique for tumor monitoring of MFS and SS using miR-1260b and MCT1+EVs.

    Transcriptome and NET-CAGE analyses of TWIST1-expressing cells revealed that TWIST1 expression correlated with the expression of stemness/undifferentiability-related genes such as ID1, ID2, and Bmi1. Therefore, we reanalyzed RNAseq and microarray data to identify cell surface markers that are highly correlated with TWIST1 expression. We found that TWIST1 strongly correlated with the cell surface protein LRRC15. Currently, development of ADC drugs targeting LRRC15 is underway, and the results of this study support the validity of LRRC15 as a therapeutic target.

    It is suggested that TWIST1 is highly expressed in human OA cartilage in the next generation RNA sequence, and expression of TWIST1 increased 10-fold in OA cartilage tissue as compared with normal cartilage tissue. Expression of MMP1 and MMP3 was elevated by overexpressing TWIST1 in human chondrocytes. Overexpression of TWIST1 in a human immortalized chondrocyte cell line confirmed a 5hmC status increase in the MMP3 promoter. When TWIST1 was constitutively overexpressed in TC28, TET1 expression increased and TWIST1 expression was induced in TET triple KO fibroblast, the induction of MMP3 expression was suppressed in TET triple KO cells.

    Metformin induces CD11b+-cell-mediated growth inhibition of a K7M2neo osteosarcoma independent of T cells. PMN-MDSCs were significantly reduced in both spleens and tumors following Metformin treatment. In TAMs, production of IL-12 and TNF-α, but not IL-10, became apparent, and elevation of MHC class II with reduction of CD206 was observed, indicating a shift from an M2- to M1-like phenotype via metformin administration. Metformin treatment leads metabolic reprogramming in tumor infiltrated CD11b+ cells. Tumor infiltrated CD11b+ cells were decreased basal respiration and the OCR/ECAR ratio. In addition, uptake of fatty acids was decreased in MDSCs and TAMs, and uptake of glucose was decreased in MDSCs only. Our results suggest that metformin redirects the metabolism of CD11b+ cells to lower oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) while elevating glycolysis, thereby pushing the microenvironment to a state that inhibits the osteosarcoma growth.
