Osteosarcoma, which has poor prognosis after metastasis, is the most common type of bone cancer in children and adolescents. Therefore, plant-derived bioactive compounds are being actively developed for therapy. Artemisia apiacea Hance ex Walp. a traditional medicinal plant native to Eastern Asia, including China, Japan, Korea. Vitexicarpin (Vitex), derived from A. apiacea, demonstrated analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antitumour, immunoregulatory properties; however, there no published studies on Vitex isolated aerial parts apiacea. Thus, this study aimed evaluate antitumour activity against human osteosarcoma cells. In present study, (>99% purity) induced significant cell death MG63 cells dose- time-dependent manner; was mediated by apoptosis, as evidenced appearance cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 3, anti-apoptotic proteins (Survivin Bcl-2), pro-apoptotic (Bax), cycle-related (Cyclin D1, Cdk4, Cdk6). Additionally, phosphokinase array proteome profiler revealed that suppressed AKT-dependent downstream kinases. Further, reduced phosphorylation PRAS40, associated with autophagy autophagosome formation, programmed necroptosis. Furthermore, antimetastatic suppressing migration invasion MMP13, primary protease degrades I collagen tumour-induced osteolysis tissues preferential metastasis sites. Taken together, our results suggest an attractive target treating osteosarcoma.

Abstract Chemo‐immunotherapy has shown great success in boosting systemic anti‐tumor effects the clinic. However, cancer cells can escape maximum impact of chemotherapy through intracellular symbiotic bacteria and abnormally activated macropinocytosis, while immune evasion is largely facilitated by programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD‐L1) protein tumor‐secreted exosomes. To efficiently sensitize chemo‐immunotherapy, clinical mitoxantrone (MTO) therefore rationally coordinated with Cu 2+ to develop nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (MTO‐Cu), then loaded macropinocytosis exosome secretion inhibitor amiloride (AMI) modified targeted chondroitin sulfate (CS) form CS/MTO‐Cu@AMI nanoadjuvant. Notably, effectively triggers cuproptosis‐induced mitochondrial dysfunction, which activates AMPK pathway‐mediated PD‐L1 degradation, deprives energy supply for release, amplifies oxidative stress deactivating bacteria, thus sensitizing chemo‐immunotherapy. Meanwhile, AMI suppresses act synergistically ‐caused chemo‐immunotherapy potentiation. Moreover, damaged dsDNA during treatment cGAS‐STING pathway, further evoking immunity. Additionally, attached CS endows specific tumor targeting hyaluronidase‐responsive charge reversal property, MTO‐Cu this nanoadjuvant pH/GSH dual‐responsive release behavior.

In osteosarcoma, immunotherapy often faces hurdles posed by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that secrete dense extracellular matrix components and cytokines. Directly removing CAFs may prove ineffective even promote tumor metastasis. To address this challenge, a sequential nanocomposite hydrogel reshapes CAF behavior is developed, enhancing tumor-infiltrating T-cells in osteosarcoma. The approach utilizes an injectable blend of carboxymethyl chitosan tetrabasic polyethylene glycol, forming for controlled release potent suppressor (Nox4 inhibitor, Nox4i) liposomal Doxorubicin (L-Dox) to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) upon situ administration. Nox4i effectively counters activation, overcoming T-cell exclusion mechanisms, followed programmed L-Dox ICD induction stroma-rich osteosarcoma models. Combining the co-delivery gel with αPD-1 checkpoint inhibitor further enhances its effectiveness orthotopic model. Immunophenotyping data underscore significant boost infiltration favorable anti-tumor immunity at whole-animal level.
