Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone malignancy with poor prognosis. Many OS cells are resistant to apoptotic induction by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). In our previous study, we found that the serum level of cytochrome c1 (CYC1) is significantly higher in OS patients than in healthy subjects. Our aim was to investigate the effects of CYC1 silencing on TRAIL-induced apoptosis in human OS in vitro and in vivo along with the underlying mechanisms.
