Based on above descreption, this study investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of the synergistic effect between Dox and EGCG targeting SOX2OT variant 7 and found that EGCG could decrease the Dox treatement-induced pro-survival autophagy partly through inhibiting SOX2OT variant 7 to improve the growth inhibition of Dox on osteosarcoma cells. Here, SOX2-OT is linked to osteosarcoma.
