Using Bioinformatics Analysis to Detect the Effect of Zoledronic Acid on the Biological Behavior of Osteosarcoma Cells
Objective: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor commonly seen in adolescents. Drug treatment for osteosarcoma is often accompanied by systemic toxicity and side effects, while zoledronic acid has few side effects but has anti-tumor effects. Methods: The bioinformatics analysis
and scratch test were used to detect changes in cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in two osteosarcoma cell lines 24, 48, and 72 hours after adding zoledronic acid (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM). Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the
changes in cell apoptosis in the control and experimental groups after a 50% inhibitory dose of zoledronic acid was given. Results: The inhibition of cell proliferation and migration ability, as well as apoptosis increased with the increase in zoledronic acid exposure time and concentration.
The 50% inhibitory rate occurred 48 hours after treatment with 100 M zoledronic acid. Conclusion: Zoledronic acid inhibited proliferation and migration and promoted apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells in vitro.
