  • RANKL Acts Directly on RANK-Expressing Prostate Tumor Cells and Mediates Migration and Expression of Tumor Metastasis Genes
    TheProstate68:92^104(2008) RANKL Acts Directly on RANK-Expressing Prostate Tumor Cells and Mediates Migration and Expression of Tumor Metastasis Genes Allison P. Armstrong,1 Robert E. Miller,1 Jon C. Jones,1 Jian Zhang,2 Evan T. Keller,2 and William C. Dougall1* 1Departments of Hematology/Oncology Research, Amgen Inc., Seattle,Washington 2University of Michigan, Department of Urology, School of Medicine, Ann Arbor, Michigan BACKGROUND. Metastases to bone are a frequent complication of human prostate cancer and result in the development of osteoblastic lesions that include an underlying osteoclastic component. Previous studies in rodent models of breast and prostate cancer have established that receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) inhibition decreases bone lesion development and tumor growth in bone. RANK is essential for osteoclast differentiation, activation, and survival via its expression on osteoclasts and their precursors. RANK expression has also been observed in some tumor cell types such as breast and colon, suggesting that RANKL may play a direct role on tumor cells. METHODS. Male CB17 severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice were injected with PC3 cells intratibially and treated with either PBS or human osteprotegerin (OPG)-Fc, a RANKL antagonist. The formation of osteolytic lesions was analyzed by X-ray, and local and systemic levels of RANKL and OPG were analyzed. RANK mRNA and protein expression were assessed on multiple prostate cancer cell lines, and events downstream of RANK activation were studied in PC3 cells in vitro. RESULTS. OPG-Fc treatment of PC3 tumor-bearing mice decreased lesion formation and tumor burden. Systemic and local levels of RANKL expression were increased in PC3 tumor bearing mice.

  • Targeted Overexpression of BSP in Osteoclasts Promotes Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer Cells

The objective of this study is to determine the role of BSP overexpression in osteolytic metastasis using two homozygous transgenic mouse lines in which BSP expression is elevated either in all the tissues (CMV-BSP mice) or only in the osteoclasts (CtpsK-BSP mice). The results showed that skeletal as well as systemic metastases of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells were dramatically increased in CMV-BSP mice. In CtpsK-BSP mice, it was found that targeted BSP overexpression in osteoclasts promoted in vitro osteoclastogenesis and activated osteoclastic differentiation markers such as Cathepsin K, TRAP and NFAT2. MicroCT scan demonstrated that CtpsK/BSP mice had reduced trabecular bone volume and bone mineral density (BMD). The real-time IVIS Imaging System showed that targeted BSP overexpression in osteoclasts promoted bone metastasis of breast cancer cells. The osteolytic lesion area was significantly larger in CtpsK/BSP mice than in the controls as demonstrated by both radiographic and histomorphometric analyses.

  • Paradoxical Stress Fracture in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma and Bisphosphonate Use
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.9837 Paradoxical Stress Fracture in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma and Bisphosphonate Use Edwin Chiu 1 , Michael Cabanero 2 , Gurinder Sidhu 1 1. Medicine, State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, USA 2. Anatomic Pathology, University Health Network, Toronto, CAN Corresponding author: Gurinder Sidhu, [email protected] Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disorder with related organ dysfunction, including hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, and bone disease. Osteolytic bone lesions that result in pain and pathologic fractures are a major source of morbidity and the use of bisphosphonates is generally safe and effective treatment in reducing myeloma-related skeletal fractures and associated morbidity. We present a 73-year- old African American woman with MM in remission and on intravenous (IV) bisphosphonate therapy in the past five years who reported gradually worsening bilateral thigh pain of six months duration. A bone survey showed no neoplastic focus, and bilateral hip X-rays showed incomplete insufficiency stress fractures with characteristic features suspicious for bisphosphonate-related atypical femoral fracture (AFF). Increasingly reported in the literature, bilateral AFF is a unique and serious adverse effect for patients on bisphosphonates. Our case illustrates the distinct challenges in managing a patient with MM on long-term bisphosphonate therapy who suffered bilateral atypical femoral fractures, an uncommon presentation of a relatively

Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective study of patients with histologically proven GCTB. Clinical data of all patients treated with neoadjuvant and adjuvant denosumab according to a standardised protocol were reviewed. Duration of follow-up from the time of diagnosis ranged from 4 to 30 months. Clinical response in terms of pain reduction or functional improvement and major adverse drug effects were documented. Pre- and post-treatment tumour responses were evaluated using available radiographs, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images taken at irregular intervals. Concomitant histopathological evaluations of tissue samples were also conducted to assess the percentage of giant cells and de novo bone matrix. Results: A total of 12 patients received denosumab treatment for GCTB from 20 July 2012 to 5 June 2015. Among them, 10 (83.3%) patients had no tumour recurrence before September 2016; and 11 (91.6%) patients reported reduced pain or functional improvement with no major treatment complications. Excellent treatment response was achieved for 10 (90.9%) of 11 patients who underwent radiographic assessment and four (100%) of four patients who underwent CT assessment.

Bone involvement f Langerhans cell in LCH usually presents in the form of osteolytic lesions along with low bone mineral histiocytosis (LCH) density. Various molecules involved in bone metabolism are implicated in the f receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) pathogenesis of LCH or may be affected during the course of the disease, including f denosumab interleukins (ILs), tumor necrosis factor α, receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) and its f bisphosphonates soluble ligand RANKL, osteoprotegerin (OPG), periostin and sclerostin. Among them f osteoporosis IL-17A, periostin and RANKL have been proposed as potential serum biomarkers for LCH, particularly as the interaction between RANK, RANKL and OPG not only regulates bone homeostasis through its effects on the osteoclasts but also affects the activation and survival of immune cells. Significant changes in circulating and lesional RANKL levels have been observed in LCH patients irrespective of bone involvement. Standard LCH management includes local or systematic administration of corticosteroids and chemotherapy.

  • Differential Effect of Doxorubicin and Zoledronic Acid on Intraosseous Versus Extraosseous Breast Tumor Growth in Vivo
    Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Differential Effect of Doxorubicin and Zoledronic Acid onIntraosseousversusExtraosseousBreast Tu m o r Gr o w t h In vivo Penelope D. Ottewell,1Blandine Deux,3 Hannu Mo« nkko« nen,1,4 Simon Cross,2 Robert E. Coleman,1 Philippe Clezardin,3 andIngunnHolen1 Abstract Purpose: Breast cancer patients with bone metastases are commonly treated with chemothera- peutic agents such as doxorubicin and zoledronic acid to control their bone disease. Sequential administration of doxorubicin followed by zoledronic acid has been shown to increase tumor cell apoptosis in vitro.We have therefore investigated the antitumor effects of clinically relevant doses of these drugs in a mouse model of breast cancer bone metastasis. Experimental Design: MDA-MB-231/BO2 cells were injected via the tail vein into athymic mice. Tumor-induced osteolytic lesions were detected in all animals following X-ray analysis 18 days after tumor cell inoculation (day18). Mice were administered saline,100 Ag/kg zoledronic acid, 2 mg/kg doxorubicin, doxorubicin and zoledronic acid simultaneously, or doxorubicin followed 24 h later by zoledronic acid. Doxorubicin-treated animals received a second injection on day 25. Tumor growth in the marrow cavity and on the outside surface of the bone was measured as well as tumor cell apoptosis and proliferation.The effects of treatments on bone were evaluated following X-ray and ACTanalysis. Results: Sequential treatment with doxorubicin followed by zoledronic acid caused decreased intraosseous tumor burden, which was accompanied by increased levels of tumor cell apoptosis and decreased levels of proliferation, whereas extraosseous parts of the same tumors were unaffected.

However, the im- Orphan disease balance of RANKL/RANK/osteoprotegerin is also implicated in the pathogenesis of several other rare metabolic Osteoprotegerin bone diseases, including Juvenile Paget disease, fibrous dysplasia, Hajdu Cheney syndrome and Langerhans cell Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand histiocytosis, thus rendering Dmab a potential treatment option for these diseases. Dmab has been also ad- ministered off-label in selected patients (e.g., with Paget's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, aneurysmal bone cysts) due to contraindications or unresponsiveness to standard treatment, such as bisphosphonates. Moreover, Dmab was administered to improve hypercalcemia induced by various diseases, including primary hyperpar- athyroidism, tuberculosis and immobilization.
