Osteoblasts induce prostate cancer proliferation and PSA expression through interleukin-6-mediated activation of the androgen receptor

Abstract: Prostate cancer (CaP) metastases selectively develop in bone as opposed to other sites through unknown mechanisms. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is considered to contribute to CaP progression and is produced at high levels in osteoblasts. We hypothesized that osteoblast-derived IL-6 in the bone microenvironment contributes to the fertile soil for CaP growth. Accordingly, human CaP cells, LNCaP, C4-2B and VCaP, were treated with conditioned medium (CM) collected from human osteoblast-like HOBIT cells grown in androgen-d… Show more

“…Alternatively, the BMP-induced osteoblastogenesis may make the bone microenvironment favorable for the establishment of prostate cancer metastases, which would account for the predisposition of prostate cancer metastases to bone (53). Osteoblasts produce a variety of factors such as transforming growth factor-h and interleukin-6 that may promote prostate cancer progression (54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60). Thus, if BMPs promote osteoblastogenesis, Figure 6.…”

“…One characteristic of prostate cancer cells is their production of cytokines that favour osteoblastogenesis: ET-1 [30,31], IGF-I and IGF-II, FGF-1 and FGF-2, VEGF. In turn, activated osteoblasts can release large amounts of IL-6, TGF-β and PDGF-BB which are potent growth factors for the tumour cells [32][33][34]. In both osteoblastic and osteoclastic metastases, a vicious circle is established since the malignant cells stimulate osteoblast or osteoclastic activity, which in turn stimulates tumour growth and progression.…”

“…BDSC-2 were obtained from the 11th rib of a 58-year-old man during left nephroureterectomy for localized ureteral cancer. These bone samples were cut into bone chips and further processed with a bone grinder (Lu et al 2004). Bone chips were then cultured in RPMI-10% FCS like prostate-derived stromal cells.…”
