Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a frequent primary malignant bone tumor, with a poor prognosis. Necroptosis is strongly correlated with OS and may be an influential target for treating OS. This study's objective was to establish a necroptosis-related gene (NRG) prognostic signature that could predict OS prognosis and guide OS treatment. First, we identified 20 NRGs associated with OS survival based on the TARGET database. We then derived a 7 NRG prognostic signature. Our findings revealed that the 7 NRG prognostic signature performed well in predicting the survival of OS patients. We next analyzed differences in immunological status and immune cell infiltration. In addition, we examined the relationship between chemo/immunotherapeutic response and the 7-NRG prognostic signature. In addition, to probe the mechanisms underlying the NRG prognostic signature, we performed functional enrichment assays including GO and KEGG. Finally, CHMP4C was selected for functional experiments. Silencing CHMP4C prevented OS cells from proliferating, migrating, and invading. This 7-NRG prognostic signature seems to be an excellent predictor that can provide a fresh direction for OS treatment.

Abstract
Gankyrin is a regulatory subunit of the 26-kD proteasome complex and promotes the occurrence and progression of many malignancies. However, the role of gankyrin in osteosarcoma (OS) metastasis remains unclear. Hedgehog signalling has been shown to regulate stem cell homeostasis and cancer metastasis, but the mechanisms that activate this pathway in OS are still poorly understood. Here, a series of in vitro and in vivo assays were carried out to explore the function and mechanism of gankyrin regulating Hedgehog signalling in OS. We demonstrated that gankyrin promotes migration, invasion and regulates the expression of some stemness factors by up-regulating Gli1 in OS. Importantly, our data showed an interaction between gankyrin and Gli1. Moreover, gankyrin suppresses the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of Gli1 protein in OS. Gankyrin also significantly promotes the lung metastasis of OS in vivo. Our findings suggest that gankyrin drives metastasis and regulates the expression of some stemness factors in osteosarcoma by activating Hedgehog signalling, indicating that drug screening for compounds targeting gankyrin may contribute to the development of novel and effective therapies for OS.
