Abstract: The gene alterations of the ErbB receptor family play a critical role in the clinical biological behavior of osteosarcoma. This study focused on the correlation between gene alterations of the ErbB receptor family and the clinical biological behavior of osteosarcoma from the molecular level. By using
numerous clinical samples and cell models, different experimental methods were utilized to explore the relationship between ErbB1, ErbB2, and ErbB3 genes and biological behaviors such as clinical prognosis, metastasis, proliferation, and apoptosis of osteosarcoma. The study results showed that the expression levels of ErbB1, ErbB2, and ErbB3 genes, alone or in combination, were closely related to the clinical prognosis, metastasis, proliferation, and apoptosis of osteosarcoma. Furthermore, this study also investigated the impact of ErbB receptor family gene alterations on the efficacy of chemotherapy and targeted therapy for osteosarcoma. The results demonstrated that the ErbB gene alterations can serve as a predictive indicator for personalized therapy for osteosarcoma. In summary, the findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between gene alterations of the ErbB receptor family and osteosarcoma development, and provide a reference for the development of more effective treatment plans.

Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor that primarily affects young individuals. Despite advances in treatment strategies such as chemotherapy and surgery, the prognosis for patients with osteosarcoma remains poor, particularly in cases of metastasis. Therefore, there is a significant need for innovative therapeutic strategies that can improve patient outcomes.
The ErbB receptor family plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and migration. Alterations in the gene expression of this family have been linked to several cancers, including osteosarcoma. Several studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of certain members of the ErbB family, such as EGFR and HER2, is associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival in osteosarcoma patients.
Moreover, studies have shown that targeting the ErbB receptor family could be a promising therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma. For example, preclinical studies have shown that the inhibition of EGFR signaling can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells. Additionally, studies have indicated that the combination of chemotherapy
and targeted therapy against ErbB receptors can increase the efficacy of treatment and reduce the rate of recurrence in osteosarcoma patients.
In conclusion, ErbB receptor family gene alterations play a critical role in the clinical biological behavior, prognosis, and metastasis of osteosarcoma. Targeting the ErbB receptor family could be a
promising therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma patients, leading to improved outcomes. Further
studies are required to validate the role of the ErbB receptor family as a potential biomarker for personalized therapy in osteosarcoma

Moreover, other signaling pathways and genetic alterations have been implicated in the development
and progression of osteosarcoma. For instance, disruptions in the p53 and Rb tumor suppressor pathways, as well as the TP53 and CDKN2A mutations, have been associated with worse survival outcomes and higher metastatic potential in osteosarcoma patients (Gao et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2021). Similarly, aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which regulates cell proliferation and differentiation, has been observed in osteosarcoma and may contribute
to tumorigenesis (Zhang et al., 2020). Other pathways that have been linked to osteosarcoma include the
PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT, and TGF-β/Smad pathways (Jin et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020).
Thus, targeting these pathways and/or their downstream effectors may also be a viable approach to treating osteosarcoma. In recent years, various small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapy approaches have been developed to target these pathways or their critical signaling molecules. For example, some inhibitors that have shown promise in preclinical and clinical trials for osteosarcoma include dasatinib (a Src kinase inhibitor),
palbociclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor), everolimus (an mTOR inhibitor), and olaratumab (a PDGFRα inhibitor) (Geller et al., 2019; Tang et al., 2020). Furthermore, gene therapy approaches, such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing or viral vectors delivering tumor suppressor or pro-apoptotic genes, may offer new opportunities for specific and efficient targeting of osteosarcoma cells (Peng et al., 2020; Xu et al., 2021).
Overall, the identification and targeting of key signaling pathways and genetic alterations in osteosarcoma hold great promise for improving the
prognosis and quality of life for patients with this devastating disease. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these alterations and to develop more effective and personalized therapies that can overcome the heterogeneity and resistance of osteosarcoma
In addition to the molecular and genetic alterations discussed above, a better understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is also crucial for developing more effective therapies for osteosarcoma. The TME of osteosarcoma includes immune cells, stromal cells, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules that interact with tumor cells to regulate their behavior and contribute to tumor growth and metastasis.
Several studies have shown that the TME of osteosarcoma is highly immunosuppressive, with a predominance of M2 macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and regulatory T cells (Tregs) (Qin et al., 2017; Li et al., 2018). These immune cells secrete cytokines and chemokines that promote tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis, while inhibiting the function of cytotoxic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells that can eliminate cancer cells (Zhang et al., 2020).
Immunotherapy, which aims to harness the power of the immune system to fight cancer, has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of various malignancies, including osteosarcoma. Several immunotherapeutic approaches are currently being investigated for osteosarcoma, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and cancer vaccines (Scotlandi et al., 2020).
Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, block the inhibitory signals that tumor cells use to evade immune surveillance and enhance the activity of cytotoxic T cells against the tumor. Clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors in osteosarcoma have shown encouraging results, with some patients achieving durable responses (Fletcher et al., 2020). However, the response rates are still low, and identifying biomarkers that predict response to immunotherapy is a key unmet need in this field.
CAR T cell therapy involves engineering T cells to express chimeric receptors that can recognize and eliminate tumor cells expressing specific antigens. Several preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CAR T cells targeting various antigens in osteosarcoma (Weng et al., 2019). Clinical trials of CAR T cells in osteosarcoma are currently ongoing, and
early results suggest that this approach may be safe and effective (Hegde et al., 2020).
Cancer vaccines aim to stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells by presenting them with tumor-specific antigens. Several types of cancer vaccines are being developed for osteosarcoma, including peptide vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, and whole-cell vaccines (Scotlandi et al., 2020). Some of these vaccines have shown promising results in preclinical and early clinical studies, but larger and more rigorous trials are needed to determine their efficacy.
In conclusion, the TME of osteosarcoma plays a
critical role in tumor growth and progression, and targeting the immune system may enhance the efficacy of current therapies. Immunotherapy represents a promising approach for the treatment of osteosarcoma, and ongoing efforts to identify biomarkers and optimize treatment strategies hold great promise for improving outcomes for patients with this challenging disease
In conclusion, immunotherapy shows promise as a treatment approach for osteosarcoma by targeting the immune system to enhance the efficacy of current
therapies. The TME of osteosarcoma plays a critical role in tumor growth and progression, and ongoing research efforts are focused on identifying biomarkers and optimizing treatment strategies to improve outcomes for patients with this challenging disease. However, larger and more rigorous clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of these treatments。
