| Abstract |
Osteosarcoma (OS) was a prevalent malignant bone tumor which threatens people's health worldwide. Wnt/β catenin signaling pathway had been proved significant in various cancers, indicating its possible function in OS as well. Sox2, a crucial member among SOX family could regulate cells biologically. How Sox2 modulated Wnt/β catenin signaling pathway in OS remained to be discussed. The study aimed to investigate the effects of Sox2 on the invasion and migration of OS cells and the related molecular mechanisms. Twenty-four human OS and adjacent tissue samples were involved in this study. Human OS cell lines MG63 and HOS were selected for further investigation. The liposome carrier si-Sox2 which could interfere with the expression of Sox2 gene was built to transfect MG63 and HOS cells). QRT-PCR assay and western blot were utilized to analyze the expression of mRNA and proteins of Sox2. Transwell assay and wound healing assay were conducted to test the invasion and migration level of cells. The expression of GSK3, β-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-myc proteins were detected by western blot assay after transfection with si-Sox2. Compared with normal tissues and cells, the expression of Sox2 in OS tissues and cells was significantly higher. The mRNA and protein levels of Sox2 significantly decreased after transfection with si-Sox2. The invasion and migration of OS cells were down-regulated significantly through the inhibition of Sox2 by inactivating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related proteins. Knockdown of Sox2 could inhibit invasion and migration of OS cells via modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2018.
All research outputs
#18,601,965
of 23,041,514 outputs
Outputs from Pathology & Oncology Research
#381
of 721 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,665
of 329,124 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pathology & Oncology Research
#4
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,041,514 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 721 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,124 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
