Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of Twist, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD34 expression in osteosarcoma (OS) in order to elucidate potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of OS. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the protein expression of Twist, VEGF and CD34 in OS and osteochondroma (OC) tissues. The ratio of the protein expression of Twist and VEGF in OS and OC tissues as well as at different phases of OS was compared using chi‑squared tests. Microvessel density (MVD), as determined by CD34 labeling, in OS and OC tissue as well as at different phases of OS was compared using the Student's t‑test. In addition, associations between Twist, VEGF and MVD were assessed using the Spearman's rank correlation test. The results revealed that out of the 32 OS tissues examined, 56.25% exhibited Twist positive expression, 71.88% exhibited VEGF positive expression and the MVD was increased compared with that of the OC tissue. The positive rate of Twist and VEGF expression in phase III OS tissues was significantly increased compared with that in phase I/II OS tissues (Twist: χ2=5.732, P=0.018; VEGF: χ2=7.513, P=0.006). The MVD in phase III OS tissues (31.08±3.36 per field) was significantly higher compared with that of the phase I/II OS tissues (41.2±4.17 per field; t=7.536, P<0.001). Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed that Twist expression was positively associated with VEGF expression (r=0.371, P=0.002) and with MVD (r=0.393, P=0.001) in OS; in addition, VEGF expression was found to have a positive correlation with MVD (r=0.469, P=0.001). In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that OS tissues exhibited elevated Twist and VEGF expression as well as MVD compared with OC tissue. In addition, metastatic OS (phase III) exhibited an increased positive rate of Twist and VEGF expression as well as MVD values compared with non‑metastatic OS (phase I/II). Furthermore associations were detected between Twist and VEGF expression as well as VEGF and MVD. Therefore, inhibition of Twist expression may have potential therapeutic use for the treatment of OS.
