Special AT‐rich sequence‐binding protein 2 (SATB2) expression is sensitive but may not be specific for osteosarcoma as compared with other high‐grade primary bone sarcomas

Abstract: SATB2 is a sensitive marker for osteosarcoma; however, it is not specific, with expression being observed in other high-grade primary bone sarcomas. Intriguingly, the lack of specificity may suggest that the undifferentiated sarcomas (UPSs and fibrosarcomas) with SATB2 expression actually represent osteosarcomas that produce too little matrix to be detected with routine sampling or consist of osteoblast precursors that do not synthesize matrix.

“…This pattern of expression has contributed to the argument that SATB2 is a marker for colorectal adenocarcinomas and other hindgut well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumors [Li et al, ; Kim et al, ]. SATB2 has been shown to be highly expressed in osteosarcoma cells and has been used as a sensitive marker for this type of bone malignancy [Seong et al, ; Davis and Horvai, ;]. In contrast, some reports suggest that SATB2 acts as a tumor suppressor, however no patients with documented SATB2 haploinsufficiency have been reported to have malignancies thus far [Brocato and Costa, ; Guo et al, ; Mansour et al, ; Wu et al, ].…”
