MAT1 facilitates the lung metastasis of osteosarcoma through upregulation of AKT1 expression.

This study reveals that high expression of MAT1 closely related to the poor prognosis and malignant clinical process of osteosarcoma patients. MAT1 serves as a promoter in the lung metastasis of osteosarcoma through increasing AKT1 expression. Our study may provide a potent therapeutic target for the lung metastasis of osteosarcoma.
