Newly Released Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Osseous Metastasis and Potential Therapeutic Strategies.

The appearance of bone metastases (BM) in individuals with advanced solid cancers (breast, prostate, lung) often worsens their quality of life and prognosis. Although none have been fully effective, several strategies have been used to combat BM. Hence, the need for new data that could be useful for treating bone metastasis. To this end, we reviewed the recent literature on the subject. About patients with prostate cancer, treatments with PIP5K1α inhibitors have been found to inhibit tumor invasion and metastasis, and G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member A (GPRC5A) could be a future therapeutic target. Regarding patients with breast cancer, we found the following: Asperolide A could be another curative drug; targeting transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways, along with osteoclast activity, could be a favorable therapeutic approach in the preclusion of osteolytic bone destruction; TRAF6 inhibitors such as 6877002 appear promising; aiming the BMP4-SMAD7 signaling axis is an innovative therapeutic approach; there is favorable proof for the plausible therapeutic utilization of bone aiming immunostimulatory MOF (BT-isMOF) nanoparticles, and inhibition of IL4R and macrophages could have therapeutic benefits. For lung cancer, the function of LIGHT in osteolytic osseous illness instigated by metastatic non-small cell lung cancer should be highlighted.
