Analyzing BMP2, FGFR, and TGF Beta Expressions in High-Grade Osteosarcoma Untreated and Treated Autografts Using Proteomic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: In the last few decades, biological reconstruction techniques have improved greatly for treating high-grade osteosarcoma patients. To conserve the limb, and its function the affected tumor-bearing bones have been treated using liquid nitrogen and irradiation processes that enable the removal of entire tumors from the bone, and these treated autografts can be reconstructed for the patients. Here, we focus on the expressions of the growth factor family proteins from the untreated and treated autografts that play a crucial role in bone union, remodeling, and regeneration. In this proteomic study, we identify several important cytoskeletal, transcriptional, and growth factor family proteins that showed substantially low levels in untreated autografts. Interestingly, these protein expressions were elevated after treating the tumor-bearing bones using liquid nitrogen and irradiation. Therefore, from our preliminary findings, we chose to determine the expressions of BMP2, TGF-Beta, and FGFR proteins by the target proteomics approach. Using a newly recruited validation set, we successfully validate the expressions of the selected proteins. Furthermore, the increased growth factor protein expression after treatment with liquid nitrogen may contribute to bone regeneration healing, assist in faster recovery, and reduce local recurrence and metastatic spread in high-grade sarcoma patients.

Project description:Biological reconstruction of allografts and recycled autografts have been widely implemented in high-grade osteogenic sarcoma. For treating tumor-bearing autografts, extracorporeal irradiation (ECIR) and liquid nitrogen (LN) freezing techniques are being used worldwide as a gold standard treatment procedure. Both the methods aim to eradicate the tumor cells from the local recurrence and restore the limb function. Therefore, it is essential and crucial to find, and compare the alterations at molecular and physiological levels of the treated and untreated OGS recycled autografts to obtain valuable clinical information for better clinical practice. Thus, we aimed to investigate the significantly expressed altered proteins from ECIR-and cryotherapy/freezing- treated OGS (n = 12) were compared to untreated OGS (n = 12) samples using LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, and the selected proteins from this protein panel were verified using immunoblot analysis. From our comparative proteomic analysis identified a total of 131 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) from OGS. Among these, 91 proteins were up-regulated (2.5 to 3.5-folds), and 40 proteins were down-regulated (0.2 to 0.5 folds) (p < 0.01 and 0.05). The functional enrichment analysis revealed that the identified DEPs have belonged to more than 10 different protein categories include cytoskeletal, extracellular matrix, immune, enzyme modulators, and cell signaling molecules. Among these, we have confirmed two potential candidates' expressions levels such as Fibronectin and Protein S100 A4 using western blot analysis. Our proteomic study revealed that LN-freezing and ECIR treatments are effectively eradicating tumor cells, and reducing the higher expressions of DEPs at molecular levels which may help in restoring the limb functions of OGS autografts effectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proteomic study that compared proteomic profiles among freezing, ECIR treated with untreated OGS in recycled autografts. Moreover, the verified proteins could be used as prognostic or diagnostic markers that reveal valuable scientific information which may open various therapeutic avenues in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
