Biomarker For Sarcoma • Genetic specific aberrations: SYT-SSX1 etc. • Vascular spread biomarkers: D-dimer etc. • Notch pathway signaling • miRNAs • Circulating tumor cells (CTC) Pennacchioli, Clin Exp Metastasis (2012)
CTCs: Circulating Tumor Cells • Tumor cells released from tumors into blood stream. • Have a key rolein future metastasis. (Chaffer CL and Weinberg RA,Science, 331:1559-1564, 2011)

Purpose • To detect CTCs in peripheral blood collected from patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma using Telomescan. • To analyze the significance of the number of CTCs.
Basic Study: Telomescan in Osteosarcoma Cells Telomescan could visualize bone and soft tissue sarcoma cell lines (Sasaki T et al. Gene Ther, 2013)
Detection System of CTC Using Telomescan Step 2: Telomescan Visualizing CTCs Step 1: Hemolytic reagent Phase contrast (7.5 mL) Step 3: Glass slide The captured segmented tile images were joined together by an image acquisition and analysis software. GFP Step 4: Fluorescence microscope GFP-Positive CTCs !! (Kojima T et al. J Clin Invest, 2009)
Methods: Staining for CTCs Mesenchymal marker Telomescan Hematopoietic marker Scale bar :30 μm We defined GFP-positive, CD45-negative, vimentin-positive and DAPI-positive cells as CTCs.

Summary • CTCs were detected in 11 of 22 patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma using GFP-expressing Telomescan. • 4 of 5 patients who developed lung metastases showed CTC-positive at diagnosis. • Telomescan can be useful system to detect CTCs as a biomarker of bone and soft tissue sarcoma.
