Osteocalcin and Osteonectin Immunoreactivity in the Diagnosis of Osteosarcoma [PDF]
Osteosarcomas (OSAs) can be difficult to distinguish histologically from tumors with significantly different biologic potentials and treatment protocols. The correct diagnosis of OSA relies on identification of malignant osteoblasts that are capable of producing neoplastic bone. To determine the use of immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of OSA, 106

Cytokeratin - positive rib osteosarcoma metastasizing to the small intestine
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant tumor in which osteoid or bone is produced directly by tumor cells. Some OS cells are positive for cytokeratin (CK) and epithelial membrane antigen by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and this may lead to a misdiagnosis of ...

Abstract Osteonectin, a major noncollagenous protein of bone, is also synthesized and secreted by various nonmineralized tissues and by platelets. To establish whether there are structural specificities of osteonectin according to its tissular origin, we raised 12 monoclonal antibodies against bovine bone osteonectin and screened them ...

Co-Targeting Prostate Cancer Epithelium and Bone Stroma by Human Osteonectin-Promoter-Mediated Suicide Gene Therapy Effectively Inhibits Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Growth. [PDF]
Stromal-epithelial interaction has been shown to promote local tumor growth and distant metastasis. We sought to create a promising gene therapy approach that co-targets cancer and its supporting stromal cells for combating castration-resistant prostate ...

Osteonectin in matrix remodeling. A plasminogen-osteonectin-collagen complex.
Osteonectin is an adhesive glycoprotein synthesized constitutively by osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. Bone-derived and platelet-derived osteonectins differ in their electrophoretic mobility and carbohydrate content, and each displays different affinities for collagen matrices.

Complex formation of human thrombospondin with osteonectin [PDF]
Human thrombospondin, a 450‐kDa glycoprotein isolated from platelets and endothelial cells, specifically interacts with osteonectin, a protein of 30 kDa isolated from bovine bones and human platelets. Using ELISA, purified osteonectin binds to solid‐phase‐adsorbed thrombospondin with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.7 nM.
