Bone Talk: Activated Osteoblasts Promote Lung Cancer Growth

Bružas, Emilis, Egeblad, Mikala (March 2018) Bone Talk: Activated Osteoblasts Promote Lung Cancer Growth. Trends in Molecular Medicine, 24 (3). pp. 237-239. ISSN 1471-4914

Abstract

Cancer cells can directly stimulate the generation and recruitment of tumor-supportive bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs), including neutrophils, via secreted factors. A new study demonstrates that lung tumors also remotely activate bone-residing osteoblasts, which in turn promote neutrophil production. This is a multistep mechanism of establishing a supportive tumor microenvironment.
