ANK1 inhibits malignant progression of osteosarcoma by promoting ferroptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in OS. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Ankyrin 1 (ANK1) on OS and to investigate its specific mechanisms.

Methods

Microarray datasets related to "osteosarcoma" were selected for this study. Relevant hub genes in OS were identified through bioinformatics analysis. Transfected U-2OS and MG-63 cells were used for in vitro experiments. The effects of ANK1 overexpression on cell viability, migration, and invasion were determined through CCK-8, wound healing, and transwell assays. An OS mouse model was established for the in vivo experiments. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry were conducted to observe the histological effects of
