MDA-MB-231/1833 bone-metastatic breast cancer cell gene expression after conditioning in conditioned medium from HUVECs conditioned in conditioned medium from static and flow-stimulated MLO-Y4 osteocytes
Bone metastases is a common severe complication for breast cancer. We previously showed that conditioned medium (CM) from osteocytes stimulated with oscillatory fluid flow, mimicking bone mechanical loading during routine physical activities, reduced breast cancer cell extravasation across endothelial monolayers. Endothelial cells are situated at an ideal location to mediate signals between osteocytes in the bone matrix and metastasizing cancer cells in the blood vessels. Therefore, we used RNA sequencing to show that CM from endothelial cells conditioned in CM from flow-stimulated osteocytes significantly altered gene expression in bone-metastatic breast cancer cells. This This provides insights into the capability of bone-loading activity in preventing bone metastases.
