Research Summary

Prof. Yang's study is to investigate the effects of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) on osteosarcoma cells, and explore the regulatory mechanisms underlying this process. 

ERβ can induce both apoptosis and autophagy in osteosarcoma cells. When autophagy was switched on in osteosarcoma cells, ERβ agonist DPN can activate NF-κB signaling pathway to prevent autophagic cell death and increase cell viability. DPN-induced autophagy served as a death mechanism in U2-OS cells. DPN-induced autophagy and apoptosis had synergistic effect on cell death of U2-OS cells, PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway maybe regulate this effect.
