Abstract

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant tumor in bones. Although the five‑year survival rate has improved to ~60% for patients without metastasis, the prognosis remains poor for patients with metastatic OS. Epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 (ECT2) has been shown to act as an oncogene in human malignancies. More recently, ETC2 was shown to be involved in the development and progression of OS; however, the detailed role of ECT2 in the regulation of cellular biological processes in OS cells remains largely unknown. Therefore, it was investigated in the present study. It was found that the expression of ECT2 was notably increased in OS tissues when compared with that in matched normal adjacent tissues. Furthermore, it was established that the downregulation of ECT2 induced by transfection with ECT2‑specific small interfering RNA effectively inhibited OS cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis. Further investigation revealed that the inhibition of ECT2 expression suppressed OS cell migration and invasion, indicating that the overexpression of ECT2 promotes OS cell migration and invasion, while. In addition, western blotting results indicated that matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 may be involved in the ECT2‑mediated OS cell invasion. In conclusion, the current study suggested that ECT2 acted as an oncogene in OS, and it may become a promising therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of OS.
