Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a heterogeneous and aggressive solid tumor of the bone. We recently identified the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r) gene as a novel driver of osteosarcomagenesis in mice using the Sleeping Beauty (S transposon mutagenesis system. Here, we report that a CSF1R-CSF1 autocrine/paracrine signaling mechanism is constitutively activated in a subset of human OSA cases and is critical for promoting tumor growth and contributes to metastasis. We examined CSF1R and CSF1 expression in OSAs. We utilized gain-of-function and loss-of-fu
