PMC Accessibility There are currently drugs in preclinical and clinical stages of testing that are directed to homing, adhesion, and vascularization of tumors [70]. Once bony metastases occur, cancer cure becomes impossible and in these cases radiation therapy, associated or not with systemic chemotherapy, may be . Clin Exp Metastasis. Using this device, we have been able to grow osteoblasts into a mineralized tissue. Bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid (Zoledronate) bind to hydroxyapatite of the bone matrix and are ingested by osteoclasts, which then undergo apoptosis. RANKL clearly holds the key to the osteolytic process.

Denosumab is an antibody directed to RANKL that prevents osteoclast differentiation. Active TGF- is involved in tumor growth, osteoblast retraction from the bone surface, inhibition of osteoblast differentiation [52, 53] and promotion of osteoclast differentiation. This review summarizes the current understanding of the osteolytic mechanisms of bone metastases, including a discussion of current therapies. Juarez P, Guise TA: TGF-beta in cancer and bone: Implications for treatment of bone metastases. J Clin Oncol. Epidemiological studies have also correlated the increase in breast cancer rates with decreasing sunlight exposure. Before Purpose: This is a study in adult patients with different types of cancer. 7, Chapter They activate latent molecules released from the matrix. Cancer Res. Metastasis of breast cancer cells to bone consists of multiple sequential steps. The normal processes of bone resorption and formation are remarkably well balanced. (A) The bone remodeling unit consists of osteoblasts, which produce osteoid, bone matrix, and osteoclasts, which degrade mineralized bone. While there is evidence that the breast cancer cell matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can resorb bone in vitro and contribute to bone degradation in vivo [5], it is now well accepted that osteoclasts are largely responsible for osteolytic metastatic lesions [6]. 2006, 12: 1431-1440. This feature accounts for the variable sensitivity and specificity of different imaging modalities. 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0142(19971015)80:8+<1546::AID-CNCR4>3.0.CO;2-I. Kozlow W, Guise TA: Breast cancer metastasis to bone: mechanisms of osteolysis and implications for therapy. Osteoblasts and bone stromal cells can respond to a variety of substances that upregulate RANKL. Bookshelf 8600 Rockville Pike Cancer Res. Treatment can be tailored for each patient and, often requires multiple therapeutic interventions. Because bone metastasis is extremely common in patients with metastatic breast cancer, clinical management of bone metastases is an important and challenging aspect of treatment in the metastatic setting.The skeleton is a metabolically active organ system that undergoes continuous remodeling throughout life. Clin Orthop Relat Res. We are in the process of adding osteoclasts to the system to create a rudimentary in vitro bone remodeling unit. Part of this uncertainty is because we do not fully understand all of the cell, cytokine and growth factor interactions that occur in the bone microenvironment. As pointed out by Lynch, the spatial and temporal expression of these molecules is of utmost importance. Standal T, Borset M, Sundan A: Role of osteopontin in adhesion, migration, cell survival and bone remodeling. 2010, 3: 572-599. The .gov means its official. Correspondence to Clinical Characteristics, Prognostic Factors and Treatment Outcomes of Patients with Bone-Only Metastatic Breast Cancer. Curr Opin Support Palliat Care. Several of these RANKL inducers merit further discussion with respect to metastatic breast cancer-induced osteolysis. Lytic lesions are caused by cancer cells causing old bone to break down without new bone being . It is impossible to understand the growth and progression of cancer cells in the bone marrow without consideration of the interaction between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Mundy GR: Mechanisms of bone metastasis. At least three essential molecules, TGF-, IGF, and VEGF, need to be activated by MMPs before they can function. 10.1038/35036374. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies It improves the quality of life by preventing fractures but does not prolong life [73]. 2003, 33: 28-37. 2001, 142: 5050-5055. This increase in COX-2 results in increased secretion of PGE2, which binds to EP4 receptors on the surface of the osteoblasts. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! The results of an in vivo study showed that OPN-deficient mice showed significantly reduced bone metastasis [38]. Clin Cancer Res. 10.1016/S0006-291X(02)02937-6. These molecules not only help support tumor cells, but also are osteoclastogenic. There are many excellent reviews describing this paradigm [1417] from its inception in the 1990 s. The minimal essential components are osteoblasts, osteoclasts, tumor cells and the mineralized bone matrix. Evidence from an intratibial bone metastasis model indicates that when highly aggressive metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells express dysfunctional Runx2 or small hair-pin RNA for Runx2, both osteoclastogenesis and osteolytic lesions decrease [40]. Of the many prostaglandins, PGE2 is known to play a critical role in cancer progression. This molecule is also produced by metastatic breast cancer cells [49]. 2010, 363: 2458-2459. Ooi LL, Zhou H, Kalak R, Zheng Y, Conigrave AD, Seibel MJ, Dunstan CR: Vitamin D deficiency promotes human breast cancer growth in a murine model of bone metastasis. There are many suspected factors, such as microfractures, loss of mechanical loading, hormones, cytokines, calcium levels and inflammation. There are conflicting reports regarding their effect on osteoblasts. It is required to drive mesenchymal cells to become osteoblasts. 2008, 34 (Suppl 1): S25-30. Bone metastasis significantly affects both quality of life and survival of the breast cancer patient. These findings led to a flurry of studies to develop COX and prostaglandin inhibitors as cures for bone metastasis. The changes in the bone microenvironment then create a vicious cycle that further promotes bone destruction and tumor progression.Various therapeutic options are available for bone metastases of breast cancer. Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism. Bookshelf Their function is not clear except that their retraction is necessary for bone resorption to begin [10]. Exp Gerontol. -, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. California Privacy Statement, HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Cancer Res. Nevertheless, they do not appear to function in the osteoclast resorption lacuna, probably due to the low pH in this compartment. Clinical studies of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients have revealed that high bone turnover correlates with a higher risk of skeletal complications [62]. Powles TJ, Clark SA, Easty DM, Easty GC, Neville AM: The inhibition by aspirin and indomethacin of osteolytic tumor deposits and hypercalcaemia in rats with Walker tumour, and its possible application to human breast cancer. In fact, a new drug, denosumab (Prolia), a fully human monoclonal antibody to RANKL, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with high risk of osteoporotic fractures, and is under priority review for patients with bone metastases. 10.1111/j.1749-6632.1974.tb14480.x. In patients with lytic or mixed lytic/blastic from solid tumor metastases, there was a 100% concordance between FDG-PET and needle biopsy when using an SUV cutoff of 2 33 33 . Biochem Biophys Res Commun. Brook N, Brook E, Dharmarajan A, Dass CR, Chan A. Int J Biochem Cell Biol. When treated with neutralizing antibody to PDGF, the osteoblasts assumed normal morphology. At higher doses they may in fact prevent osteoblast differentiation [30]. Radiol Clin North Am. In doing so, cancer cells are equipped to home, adhere, survive and proliferate in the bone microenvironment. Inflammation associated with bone fractures and arthritic joints has been anecdotally associated with the appearance of bone metastasis, often many years after the primary tumor has been treated. Balkwill F, Mantovani A: Cancer and inflammation: implications for pharmacology and therapeutics. Bone. More than 2 out of 3 breast and prostate cancers that . Methods Mol Biol. 1973, 28: 316-321. It can activate osteoclasts independent of RANKL [21]. In the 1960s and 70s it was proposed that bone degradation might result from the physical pressure of the tumor on the bone and/or direct resorption of the bone by tumor cells. In males, prostate and lung cancers make up 80% of carcinomas metastasizing to bone. Bone is the most common site of metastasis for breast cancer. 10.1016/j.yexcr.2007.09.021. Terms and Conditions, Of the bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid is the most potent. osteolytic bone metastases are characterized by destruction and loss of normal bone or bone matrix 1,2 in which parathyroid hormone-related peptide (pthrp) features a significant part in the evolution of osteolytic lesions by stimulating the differentiation and activating osteoclasts via the rankl pathway, which primarily mediate the degradation 2000, 2: 737-744. However, both bone degradation and deposition likely occur early in the metastatic process. PubMed HDAC inhibitors induce LIFR expression and promote a dormancy phenotype in breast cancer. Runx2 downregulates proliferation and induces p21, RANKL, MMP2, MMP9, MMP13, VEGF, OPN, bone sialoprotein and PTHrP protein expression to promote osteoblast differentiation, bone development and turnover [39]. Nat Cell Biol. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. 10.1097/COC.0b013e3181deb9e5. statement and Osteoblast differentiation is suppressed; new osteoid production is no longer able to keep pace with bone resorption. Eventually, bone remodeling ceases as both osteoblasts and osteoclasts are lost. Most breast cancer metastasis to bone results in osteolytic lesions. Bone metastases result in lesions or injury to the bone tissue. Edited by: Rosen CL. Cancer Res. Identification of a stimulator or protector of osteoblasts would be a major improvement in treatment for osteolytic breast cancer as well as other diseases of bone loss. In contrast to breast cancer, prostate bone metastasis often results in osteoblastic lesions. It is estimated that 85% of individuals with advanced disease harbor bone metastases [1]. Among these are the MMPs. eCollection 2021 Dec. Nat Rev Cancer. The presence of tumor cells in the bone microenvironment perturbs the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, leading to excess bone loss or formation. 2007, 6: 2609-2617. Immunol Rev. 10.1007/s10585-004-1867-6. 10.1007/s10585-007-9112-8. Just as osteoblasts are a critical partner in normal bone remodeling, they are vital to the metastatic osteolytic process. Because of its significant role, TGF- has been a tempting therapeutic target. IL-8, a proinflammatory CXC chemokine, is secreted by monocytes, endothelial cells and osteoblasts. Google Scholar. Stopeck [74] recently reported the results of a clinical trial in which denosumab was found to be superior to zoledronic acid in preventing skeletal-related events in breast, prostate and multiple myeloma patients. -. When a patient has a metastasis and no site of origin can be found (a metastasis of unknown origin) the most likely site is the lung or kidney.

A newly discovered molecule downstream of RANKL is extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN)/CD147, a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to induce MMPs and VEGF [48]. Br J Cancer. 2009, 7 (Suppl 7): S1-29. Epub 2015 Dec 4. Article For post-menopausal women, high bone turnover may be caused by estrogen deficiency. COX-2 activity in breast cancer cells has also been found to modulate the expression and activity of MMPs. The mechanisms are thought to be inhibition of tumor cell adhesion as well as osteoclast differentiation. Osteo-blasts also produce osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor to RANKL that curtails osteoclast activation. Ann N Y Acad Sci. J Natl Compr Canc Netw. The bone remodeling microenvironment is a complex system in which the cell functions are controlled by multifunctional transcription factors, cytokines and growth factors. 10.1016/S8756-3282(03)00086-3. In the section that follows, we will discuss in greater detail the key factors involved in metastatic breast cancer osteolysis. An official website of the United States government. A delicate balance of the bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts in the dynamic microenvironment of the skeleton maintains normal bone remodeling and integrity. 10.3390/ph3030572. Guise TA, Mundy GR: Cancer and bone. However, both bone degradation and deposition likely occur early in the metastatic process. This information is not easily obtained with in vitro studies. For females, breast and lung are the most common primary sites ; nearly 80% of cancers that spread to the skeleton are from these locations. 2008, 314: 173-183. A working model to describe the bone remodeling compartment in the presence of metastatic cancer cells has been referred to as the 'vicious cycle of bone metastasis' [13] (Figure 1B). 2009, 13: 355-362. For example, the use of aromatase inhibitors increases the risk for osteoporosis. Troen BR: Molecular mechanisms underlying osteoclast formation and activation. Raica M, Anca M: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptors (PDGFR) axis as target for antitumor and antiangiogenic therapy. Denosumab has recently been approved by the FDA for treatment of osteoporosis in women with high risk of fractures and is being considered for treatment of bone metastasis. In light of these findings, correction of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies should be considered as adjuvant therapies in slowing or preventing osteolysis in breast cancer patients. Recent research has revealed how cancer cell Runx2 affects other cells in the bone microenvironment and promotes osteolysis. Mol Cancer. Adv Drug Deliv Rev.

HDAC inhibitors stimulate LIFR when it is repressed by hypoxia or PTHrP in breast cancer. CAS It can contribute to tumor cell survival, proliferation, adhesion, and migration. Epub 2018 Jan 5. Breast cancer is often compared with prostate cancer, which metastasizes to the skeleton with a similar frequency. 2019 Nov 29;21(1):130. doi: 10.1186/s13058-019-1220-2. 1997, 80 (8 Suppl): 1572-1580. It has been suggested that cancer cells preferentially metastasize to bone due to their ability to express genes that are normally considered bone or bone-related [36]. Several of these molecules are related to the recruitment and differentiation of osteoclasts; some are prominent players in the vicious cycle. eCollection 2022 Dec. Edwards CM, Clements ME, Vecchi LA 3rd, Johnson JA, Johnson RW. Clin Breast Cancer. FOIA Osteoclasts derive from hematopoietic stem cells. All in all, PTHrP is an important mediator between breast cancer cells and cells of the bone microenvironment and, as such, is a major contributor to the bone degradation process. While the outcome is predominantly osteoblastic, it is known that prostate cancer lesions display both blastic and lytic characteristics early in the process. In the early 1970 s it was reported that prostaglandins could resorb fetal bone in culture [43], and that aspirin, a COX-1 inhibitor, and indomethacin, a COX-2 inhibitor, could prevent osteolysis in tissue culture [44]. break). 10.1016/j.rcl.2010.02.014. 2007, 67: 9542-9548. PTH/PTHrP, TNF-, prostaglandins (PGE2), IL-1, IL-11, FGF-2, and IGF-1 have been reported to increase RANKL production. Once osteoclasts are activated, they degrade bone matrix through several proteolytic enzymes, including MMPs and cathepsin K. Although cathepsin K is the major bone resorbing protease, MMPs, which are secreted by many cells, may be the 'master regulator' of the entire mechanism. Biochem Biophys Res Commun.

Coleman R, Gnant M: New results from the use of bisphosphonates in cancer patients. The majority of breast cancer metastases ultimately cause bone loss. Teriparatide is a recombinant peptide of parathyroid hormone that stimulates osteoblast activity and bone formation. This loss is more precipitous in women, due to the decrease in estrogen at menopause [3]. There are two types of lesions: lytic lesions, which destroy bone material; and blastic lesions, which fill the bone with extra cells. 10.1111/j.0105-2896.2005.00326.x. Other drugs on the horizon target TGF-, and cathepsin K. Various approaches, including kinase inhibitors, ligand-neutralizing antibodies and anti-sense molecules, are being investigated [33].

Nemeth JA, Harb JF, Barroso U, He Z, Grignon DJ, Cher ML: Severe combined immunodeficient-hu model of human prostate cancer metastasis to human bone. These types of tumors are called osteolytic, or simply lytic. Evolving cancer-niche interactions and therapeutic targets during bone metastasis. Pratap and colleagues [40] found that Runx2 responds to TGF- stimulation by activating the expression of Indian hedgehog (IHH), which further increases the level of PTHrP. Grey A: Teriparatide for bone loss in the jaw. government site. Accessibility Google Scholar. Bone. The role of PTHrP in bone metabolism is not fully understood, but it is known to cause upregulation of RANKL and downregulation of OPG [19], thus enhancing osteoclast function leading to bone degradation. Endocrinology. J Bone Miner Res. IGF binding initiates production of M-CSF and RANKL by osteoblasts and c-fms and RANK by osteoclasts [54]. However, teriparatide is associated with an increased risk of osteosarcoma and exacerbation of skeletal metastases because of its effect on bone turnover [75]. RANKL and other pro-osteoclastogenic cytokines are increased with a concomitant reduction in OPG, resulting in more osteoclast formation and bone degradation. 2003, 349: 2483-2494. Jemal A, Siegel R, Ward E, Murray T, Xu J, Thun MJ: Cancer Statistics, 2007. MMP-9 is important in the cascade leading to activation of VEGFA. 2006, 23: 345-356. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. The tumors that develop, sometimes called lesions, can: Make the bones weaker and less dense. PubMed Central Runx2 also promotes PTHrP expression in breast cancer cells, which in turn stimulates other cells, such as osteoblasts, to produce more RANKL, leading to further osteoclast activation. Cancer Treat Rev. Cell Tissue Res. Metastatic breast cancer (also called stage IV or advanced breast cancer) is not a specific type of breast cancer. We also discuss known risk factors as well as detection and assessment of bone metastases. Bone lining cells appear microscopically as relatively undifferentiated cells that line the bone. Cancer.

COX-2 inhibition also partially attenuated the ability of two breast cancer cell lines to degrade and invade extracellular matrix components such as laminin and collagen [47]. Current treatments can improve bone density, decrease skeletal related events and ease bone pain, yet existing bone lesions do not heal. Retrieval of the bone at specific times gives a snapshot of the status of metastases. 2008, 7: 2807-2816. Smolle MA, Musser E, Bergovec M, Friesenbichler J, Wibmer CL, Leitner L, Srensen MS, Petersen MM, Brcic I, Szkandera J, Scheipl S, Leithner A. 10.3322/canjclin.57.1.43. There is evidence in both humans and animals that bone loss in osteolytic metastasis is partly due to the failure of the osteoblasts to produce new osteoid for the bone matrix. IGF binding proteins keep this molecule latent. In addition, other cells not specific for bone but likely to be found in the bone (macrophages, neutrophils and T lymphocytes) produce MMPs. This process is effected by osteoblasts and osteoclasts within a functional and anatomic unit known as the basic multicellular unit (BMU). In many cases, osteolytic and osteoblastic changes occur simulta-neously.28 Up to half of all bone metastases from breast cancer tend to show osteolytic changes.5,7,29-31 However, because all types of bone metastases show . Bone is the most common site of metastasis for breast cancer. At first glance it would seem ideal to pair bisphosphonates or denosumab with teriparatide since the former two block bone resorption and the latter stimulates bone deposition. There is also evidence that molecules in conditioned medium from PC-3 cells alone [34], or from both PC-3 cells and MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts [35], promote osteoclastogenesis. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Osteoblastic or blastic metastases cause an area of the bone to look denser or sclerotic. Until recently they were the only FDA approved drugs for metastatic bone disease [71]. FOIA Increased production of EMMPRIN in turn leads to increases in VEGF and MMPs. Drugs of the bisphosphonate family have been used for many years as the standard of care. 2010, 9: 122-10.1186/1476-4598-9-122. While ductal carcinoma in situ detected early is 98% curable, bone metastases are basically incurable [2]. Doctors use imaging tests, such as x-rays, to figure out the types of .

Chen, YC., Sosnoski, D.M. 10.1023/A:1026526703898. Once osteoblasts finish bone deposition, they undergo apoptosis, remain in the matrix as osteocytes or revert to thin bone-lining cells. On x-rays, these metastases show up as spots that are whiter than the bone around them. Although the mechanisms of osteoteoblastic and osteolytic responses are not fully understood, it is clear that many factors involved in osteolytic breast cancer bone metastasis also regulate the osteolytic aspects of prostate cancer.
