BUB1 an Overexpressed Kinase in Sarcoma: Finding New Target Therapy for Osteosarcoma, Liposarcoma, Synovial Sarcoma, and Leiomyosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Sarcomas are heterogeneous mesenchymal tumors, and their pharmacological treatment remains challenging due to the high toxicity and poor efficacy of current therapies. This study aimed to identify common overexpressed kinases in the four most frequent sarcoma subtypes to establish novel therapeutic targets. A bioinformatics approach using patient-derived gene expression data sets identified overexpressed kinases shared across these sarcoma types. Later, BUB1 was determined as the kinase consistently overexpressed across the osteosarcoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and synovial sarcoma. Moreover, the role of this kinase was further validated through molecular and functional assays, including pharmacological inhibition in cell lines derived from the four sarcoma subtypes. BUB1 inhib
