Background

Breast to bone metastases frequently induce a "vicious cycle" in which osteoclast mediated bone resorption and proteolysis

Significance

Collectively, these studies identify a novel "mini-vicious cycle" between the osteoblast and metastatic cancer cells that is key for initial tumor survival in the bone microenvironment. In conclusion, the findings of our study suggest that the targeted inhibition of MMP-2 and/or TGFβ would be beneficial for the treatment of bone metastases.
