RESUMEN
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumor with high malignancy and the mechanism of hematogenous metastasis in OS is still not clear. The plasma exosomes derived from osteosarcoma play a key role in the process of tumor metastasis. Here, we established RNA-seq dataset for lncRNAs, circRNAs and mRNAs in plasma exosomes from 10 OS patients and 5 healthy donors. A total of 329.52 Gb of clean data was obtained. Besides, 1754 lincRNAs, 7096 known and 1935 new circRNA was identified. Finally, gene expression profiles and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed among these 15 samples. There were 331 DEGs of mRNA, 132 of lincRNA and 489 of circRNA was obtained, respectively. This data set provides a significant resource for relevant researchers to excavate potential dysregulated lncRNAs, circRNAs and mRNAs of plasma exosomes in OS versus normal conditions.

PURPOSE: Function of survivin protein (encoded by BIRC5) in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of osteosarcoma (OS) has not been investigated. The goal of this study is to determine whether the expression of survivin protein of CTCs is associated with circulating immune cell infiltration and disease prognosis of OS. METHODS: Blood samples of 20 patients with OS were collected. CanPatrol™ CTC enrichment technology combined with in situ hybridization (ISH) was applied to enrich and test CTCs and survivin protein. Bioinformation analysis combined with data of routine blood test was used to verify the association between survivin and immune cell infiltration in circulatory system. To screen independent prognostic factors, Kaplan-Meier survival curve, univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Bioinformatics analysis showed that BIRC5 was strongly negatively related to lymphocyte, including T cell, NK cell and B cell, which released that BIRC5 played a key role in immune escape via reducing immune cell infiltration in circulatory system. Meanwhile, the number of survivin+ CTCs was significantly negatively connection with lymphocyte count (R = -0.56, p = 0.011), which was consistent with bioinformatics analysis. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the overall survival rate in high survivin+ CTCs group was significantly lower than low group (88.9% vs 36.4%, p = 0.04). Multivariable Cox regression analyses showed that survivin+ CTCs were an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION: These findings suggested that survivin protein played a key role in immune escape of CTCs and the presence of survivin+ CTCs might be a promising prognostic factor in OS patients.
RESUMEN
The lung is the primary organ for the metastasis of osteosarcoma. Although the application of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery has remarkably improved the survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma, prognosis is still poor for those patients with metastasis. In this study, we performed further bioinformatics analysis on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data published before, containing 75,317 cells from two osteosarcoma lung metastasis and five normal lung tissues. First, we classified 17 clusters, including macrophages, T cells, endothelial cells, and so on, indicating highly intratumoral heterogeneity in osteosarcoma lung metastasis. Next, we found macrophages in osteosarcoma lung metastasis did not have significant M1 or M2 polarizations. Then, we identified that T cells occupied the most abundant among all cell clusters, and found CD8+ T cells exhibited a low expression level of immune checkpoints in osteosarcoma lung metastasis. What is more, we identified C2_Malignant cells, and found CD63 might play vital roles in determining the infiltration of T cells and malignant cells in conventional-type osteosarcoma lung metastasis. Finally, we unveiled C1_Therapeutic cluster, a subcluster of malignant cells, was sensitive to oxfendazole and mevastatin, and the potential hydrogen-bond position and binding energy of oxfendazole-KIAA0907 and mevastatin-KIAA0907 were unveiled, respectively. Our results highlighted the power of scRNA-seq technique in identifying the complex tumor microenvironment of osteosarcoma lung metastasis, making it possible to devise precision therapeutic approaches.

Aberrantly expressed lncRNAs have been reported to be closely related to the oncogenesis and development of osteosarcoma. However, the role of a dysregulated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in osteosarcoma in the same individual needs to be further investigated. Whole transcriptome sequencing was performed on the tumour tissues and matched paratumour tissues of three patients with confirmed osteosarcoma. Two divergent lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks were constructed in accordance with their biological significance. The GO and KEGG analysis results of the mRNAs in the two networks revealed that the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs were involved in regulating bone growth and development, epithelial cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest and the N-terminal acetylation of proteins. The survival analysis results of the two networks showed that patients with high expression of GALNT3, FAM91A1, STC2 and SLC7A1 end in poorer prognosis. Likewise, patients with low expression of IGF2, BLCAP, ZBTB47, THRB, PKIA and MITF also had poor prognosis. A subnetwork was then constructed to demonstrate the key genes regulated by aberrantly expressed lncRNAs at the posttranscriptional level via the ceRNA network. Aberrantly expressed lncRNAs in osteosarcoma tissues regulate genes involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis and the cell cycle via the ceRNA network.
