Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy in teenagers and continues to confer a generally poor prognosis due to its highly metastatic potential. Poor solubility in water and instability of curcumin limits its bioavailability for use in the adjuvant situation to improve the prognosis and the long-term survival of patients with osteosarcoma. To further obtain information regarding the apoptosis induced by a new curcumin analog, GO-Y078, in human osteosarcoma cells, flow cytometric analysis, annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis staining assay, human apoptosis array, and Western blotting were employed. GO-Y078 dose-dependently decreased viabilities of human osteosarcoma U2OS, MG-63, 143B, and Saos-2 cells and induced sub-G1 fraction arrest and apoptosis in U2OS and 143B cells. In addition to the effector caspase 3 and poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase, GO-Y078 significantly activated both initiators of extrinsic caspase 8 and intrinsic caspase 9, whereas cellular inhibitors of apoptosis 1 (cIAP-1) and X-chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP) in U2OS and 143B cells were significantly repressed. Moreover, GO-Y078 increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK)1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK)1/2, and p38 in U2OS and 143B cells. Using inhibitors of JNK (JNK-in-8) and p38 (SB203580), GO-Y078′s increases in cleaved caspases 8, 9, and 3 could be expectedly suppressed, but they could not be affected by co-treatment with the ERK inhibitor (U0126). Altogether, GO-Y078 simultaneously induces both apoptotic pathways and cell arrest in U2OS and 143B cells through activating JNK and p38 signaling and repressing IAPs. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for GO-Y078′s apoptotic effects on human osteosarcoma cells.

A ginsenoside Rg1 is an active compound extracted from the stem and/or root of ginseng. Rg1 has been known to affect various human organ systems including the immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems with its pharmacological effects. Timosaponin AIII (TA3) is a type of spirostanol saponins that are the major compounds of Anemarrhena asphodeloides. TA3 exerts anticancer effects in various human cancers, and the effects include attenuations of cancer cell migration and induction of apoptosis. In this study, I report that Rg1 drives the stimulation of TA3-induced cytotoxic effects in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells. Rg1 stimulates TA3-induced apoptosis in MG63 cells via selective intensification of caspase-3 activation. Rg1 and TA3 synergistically induced antimetastatic effects such as attenuation of MG63 cell migration and inhibitions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9). Rg1 and TA3 synergistically suppressed JNK, p38, ERK, β-catenin, and CREB signaling, which are key regulators of cancer metastasis. Finally, the synergistic anticancer effects of Rg1 and TA3 were also observed in U2OS human osteosarcoma cells, and this may indicate that the synergy is not limited specifically to MG63 cells. The results presented here suggest that the combinatorial use of Rg1 and TA3 may be a promising way to develop an effective antiosteosarcoma agent.
