Thus, proteasome inhibition is effectiveing tumor cells within the bone. Pretreatment with bortezomib for 3 weeks before inoculation of tumoras also effective in reducing osteolysis.

Translational Relevance

Breast cancer (BrCa) metastasis to the bone andosteolytic lesions typically caused by these metastasesare particularly resistant to pharmacologic therapy. Thisstudy shows that the Food and Drug Administration–approved proteasome inhibitor bortezomib strikinglydecreases the size of BrCa metastatic tumors and asso-ciated osteolytic lesions through multiple mechanisms:by inducing cellular necrosis and apoptosis, inhibitingtumor cell Wnt signaling and matrix degradation, andreducing vascularization. In addition, the proteosomeinhibitor provided a significant skeleton-wide bone an-abolic effect, despite the presence of a metastatic lesion.Current treatment of metastases with bisphosphonateslimits bone resorption but does not rebuild bone vol-ume lost to osteolysis. Our findings also provide evi-dence for increased capability to treat BrCa osteolyticdisease preemptively using bortezomib before tumorcell growth in bone by inhibiting tumor responses tothe bone microenvironment and by providing protec-tive anabolic effects on the skeleton.
