Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor with the pathological essence of osteolysis. Doxorubicin (DOX) is common in adjuvant chemotherapy of osteosarcoma. However, it is required to address the conflict between enhancing its dose to improve efficacy and reducing its complications and chemotherapy resistance. Previous studies have demonstrated that EGCG has an antitumor and osteoclastogenesis inhibition effect. However, the combined effect of EGCG and DOX on osteosarcoma is still unclear. Here, EGCG was demonstrated to enhance the 143B cell proliferation inhibition and anti-osteoclastogenesis effect of DOX in vitro. The results suggest that EGCG in synergy with DOX inhibited AKT phosphorylation, which was involved in 143B cells proliferation and osteoclastogenesis. In vivo, the combination of DOX and EGCG could reduce tumor volume and osteolysis destruction compared with the DOX treatment group. This present study raised the possibility that EGCG may be used as an adjuvant chemotherapy drug to treat osteosarcoma.
