Therefore, elevated levels of E2F1 will induce the transcription of Khps1. Then, Khps1 changes the chromatin structure of SphK1-B to promote the combination of E2F1 and the SphK1-B promoter to activate SphK1-B transcription and ultimately promote the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells and limit cell apoptosis 169. Here, SPHK1 is linked to osteosarcoma.
