主 题:Bone metastasis pre-metastatic niche bone microenvironment extracellular vesicles
摘 要:Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women and men *** fatal outcome usually occurs after metastatic dissemination,and bone is by far the most common site of metastasis for breast and prostate cancer,the highest incidence neoplasia in women and men,***,while this is clear,the mechanisms through which the metastatic preference is established is *** emerging concept in this regard is the pre-metastatic niche(PMN)establishment,i.e.,the process through which tumors can influence the bone microenvironment from the primary site and make it permissive for their engraftment,before they migrate to the blood flow and *** this review,we discuss key microenvironmental players in the bone/bone marrow PMN,including osteoblasts,osteoclasts,and bone marrow *** also describe the known PMN-educating factors,as well as the role of extracellular vesicles as emerging players in the bone/bone marrow *** overview of current therapeutic developments aimed at targeting the bone PMN is also provided.
