Article Snippet: The experiments were conducted using the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT‐29 (ATCC HTB‐38; RRID: CVCL_0320) and normal adult human primary dermal fibroblasts (HDFa; ATCC PCS‐201‐012; RRID: CVCL_PCS‐201‐012).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Integrated single‐cell landscape of human osteosarcoma. (A) Harmony‐integrated UMAP of 39,063 quality‐controlled cells colored by global cluster. (B) The same embedding colored by patient, showing cross‐patient mixing after integration. (C) Reviewed major‐cell‐type annotations displayed on the integrated UMAP; labels mark lineage centroids. (D) Relative abundance of major cell types in each patient. Colors are consistent between panels C and D.

Figure Lengend Snippet: TROAP depletion reduces clonogenic growth, overall wound closure, migration, and invasion in osteosarcoma cells. (A) Immunoblot analysis of TROAP in HOS and U2OS cells transfected with siNC, siTROAP‐1, or siTROAP‐2; beta‐actin is the loading control. (B) Colony‐formation images and colony counts. (C) Scratch‐wound images at 0 and 24 h and overall wound closure. Because the assay was not proliferation‐matched, it is not interpreted as direct migration evidence. (D) Transwell migration and invasion images and cell counts. Data are mean + /−standard deviation from three independent biological experiments. One‐way ANOVA with Dunnett′s test compared each siTROAP group with siNC; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
