Deregulation of the activity of immune MSC`s Degradation of DNA methylation process Increased stochastic variation in gene expression Suppression of normal osteoblast differentiation Start of tight regulation of histone modifications Oncogenesis Genomic instability Inhibition of apoptosis Prevent the repair of DNA damage Genomic instability Further mutation Uncontrolled cell growth Transpoon element reactivation and remobilization Cytoplasmic chromatin segment Gene dysregulation Disrupted Homeostasis and regeneration Tumor development Release of cytokine Interleukin 6 activates Janus kinase Phosphorylation of transcription activator 3 Increased cell proliferation. Inhibits apoptosis of the MSC`s and OS-derived cells Transforming growth factor beta enhance the migration potential of OS cells Tumor necrosis factor maintain tumor cells in undifferentiated state Interleukin 34 stimulate growth and survival of myeloid cells Macrophage proliferation to the profile of M2 tumorassociated macrophages Activation of pleiotropic functions involved in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis, cell migration and invasion, extracellular matrix production, angiogenesis and immune response Tumor progression Interleukin 17 induces angiogenesis stimulators including VEGF Angiogenesis Redness Hypermethylation of the RASSF1A Hypomethylation of the 1RX1 gene Overexpression of the MPM2 gene Activation of the cMc and P13/Akl signaling pathways Increased p53 degradation Reduction in the production of P16INK4a Overexpression of CD4 and inactivation of PRB Suppression of the GADD45 gene encoding the 5-hmc production Absence of DNA repair Increase in Mdm2 levels Degradation of p53 Impede demethylation of other genes Uncontrolled cell cycle Supression of the P14ARF Apoptosis Inhibition Increase in the rate, growth, and proliferation of cancer cells Aggressive growth/malignancy Anaplastic tumor cells produce osteoid and callus Deposition of osteoid Infiltration of the normal compact bone Destruction of the normal compact bone Bone fracture Replacement by masses of osteoid Impregnation of the cortex Lifting of the periosteum Formation of a soft tissue mass Periosteal reaction Redness, swelling, pain Codman Triangle Presence of lump Development of Malignant osteoblasts Increase in alkaline phosphatase levels Escape of cancer from primary tumor Travel within the circulation system and colonization Establishment of metastatic lesions in the lungs Poor prognosis Cough Dyspnea Chest pain
