Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor, with extremely poor prognosis in patients withmetastaticdiseaseandresistancetotherapy,suchasmultidrug regimens. The mechanisms of drug resistance are quite complex and have not been fully elucidated; thus, novel therapeutic targets should be identified to alleviate drug resistance in osteosarcoma. In the present study, the transcriptomes of the human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and vincristine (VCR)-resistant MG63 cells were compared by microarray analysis. A total of 1,300 genes (602 upregulated and 698 downregulated) were reported to be differentially expressed in MG63/VCR compared with MG63 cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the B cell receptor, UVA-induced mitogen-activated protein kinases and receptor tyrosine kinase 2/3 signaling pathways. In the present study, 10 of the dysregulated genes, including roundabout homolog 1, death-associated protein kinase 1 and A-kinase anchor protein 12 were further evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. These results may aid the validation of candidate biomarkers for the treatment and prognosis of osteosarcoma, and provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the drug resistance of osteosarcoma cells.
