At present, OS is widely investigated because of the interaction between the tumor and bone microenvironment and the effect of such interaction on OS progression and metastasis.1 The connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), also known as cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2), is a secreted extracellular matrix-associated protein. CTGF is as active as the regulators of signaling activities of several different pathways and an orchestrator of their cross-talk.2 Therefore, we conducted experiments to investigate the effects of CTGF on OS tumor progress and the cross-talk with stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment.展开更多
