EGR1 Mediates Riluzole-Induced Apoptosis in Osteosarcoma via the Yap/p73-Bax Signaling Axis

Syeda Maryam Azeem, Shraddha ChandThakuri, Pooja Prakash Rao…·Shahana S. Mahajan

This study shows Riluzole induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma by upregulating EGR1, which interacts with Yap/p73 to enhance Bax expression and promote cell death.
