Recent advances in bone-targeted therapies of metastatic prostate cancer

Abstract: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting men worldwide, with bone being the most common site of metastasis in patients that progress beyond organ confinement. Bone metastases are virtually incurable and result in significant disease morbidity and mortality. Bone provides a unique microenvironment whose local interactions with tumor cells offer novel targets for therapeutic interventions. Several attractive molecules or pathways have been identified as new potential therapeutic targets f… Show more

“…Mature osteoclasts cause severe bone resorption by secreting proteases and protons [42,43]. Inhibitors of MMPs and cathepsin K have been considered as promising therapeutic candidates for osteoclast-related diseases [44,45]. ARTD at noncytotoxic concentrations remarkably inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation, mature osteoclast-mediated pit formation, and MMP-9 and cathepsin K secretion from mature osteoclasts.…”

“…SRE cause significant morbidity, reduced performance status, quality of life (QOL) and reduced survival. A reduction in the occurrence of individual SREs with significant decreases in pathological fractures and surgery for bone pain has recently been reported, mainly as the result of bone-targeting treatments [52][53][54]. Hypercalcaemia, which was highly prevalent in breast cancer patients with bone metastases, is currently rarely seen due to a better understanding of the disease and the frequent use of anti-resorptive therapies [52,53].…”

“…For PrCa patients, the aggressive metastatic disease reflects the most adverse clinical outcome and is difficult to study given the heterogeneous nature of this malignant tumor (2,3). At metastatic sites, predominantly bone, altered interaction with the prostate microenvironment promotes the ability of tumor cells to migrate (4,5). Understanding the molecular events involved in the development of metastatic PrCa has the potential to identify new biological targets that can aid in prognosis and development of more effective therapies.…”

“…Overexpression of ␣ v ␤ 6 , an epithelium-specific integrin, has been reported to correlate with malignant progression and poor clinical prognosis in a variety of carcinomas, and to promote metastasis (17,18). ␣ v ␤ 6 expression is not detectable in normal human prostate but is highly expressed in human primary PrCa (19), 4 as well as murine PrCa in Pten pcϪ/Ϫ mice (20) and thus, is a promising therapeutic target in PrCa. Furthermore, this integrin has * This work was supported, in whole or in part, by National Institutes of Health multiple regulatory functions in tumor cell biology.…”
