Abstract

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. To identify new biomarkers for early diagnosis of OS and novel therapeutic candidates, we carried out a plasma membrane proteomic study based on two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). The OS cell line MG-63 and the human osteoblastic cell line hFOB1.19 were adopted as the comparison model. We extracted plasma membrane by aqueous two-phase partition extraction. The proteins were separated through 2DE. We analyzed the differentially expressed proteins by Imagemaster software and then identified them by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the location and function of differential proteins were searched through the Gene Ontology database. In total, 220 protein spots were separated by 2DE. Seven proteins with more than 2.0-folds of difference were successfully identified from 13 gel spots, with 6 up-regulated and 1 down-regulated. Gene Ontology analysis of the differentially expressed proteins indicated that these proteins were involved in seven kinds of functions including binding, structural, cell motility, receptor activity, electron carrier activity, NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity, and transcription repressor activity. The up-regulation of NDRG1 was verified in osteosarcoma through Western blotting and by immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissues. The plasma membrane proteins identified in this study may provide new insights into osteosarcoma cancer biology and potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 22 April 2013.
All research outputs
#14,137,641
of 22,653,392 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#919
of 2,620 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#79,832
of 115,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#3
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,653,392 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,620 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
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 115,244 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
