Upregulated TTYH2 expression is critical for the invasion and migration of U2OS human osteosarcoma cell lines.
Abstract Ion channels have recently emerged as stable biomarkers and anticancer targets particularly when the applications of the currently available therapeutic regimens are limited, as in case of osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor. Here, we evaluated the expression of TTYH2, a presumably calcium-activated chloride channel, in a human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS. We used small-interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing to demonstrate the downregulation in the expression of TTYH2 that resulted in the decrease in the invasion and migration, but not proliferation, of U2OS cells. The expression levels of Slug ...

Regulation of Chromatin Assembly and Cell Transformation by Formaldehyde Exposure in Human Cells
Conclusions: We propose that the inhibition of chromatin assembly represents a novel mechanism of cell transformation induced by the environmental and occupational chemical carcinogen FA. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1275 Received: 25 October 2016 Revised: 19 May 2017 Accepted: 23 May 2017 Published: 21 September 2017 Address correspondence to C.
