Abstract
Metastatic involvement of the skeleton is a frequent consequence of advanced prostate cancer. These skeletal metastases cause a number of debilitating complications and are refractory to current treatments. New therapeutic options are being explored, including conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAds). CRAds are engineered to selectively replicate in and destroy tumor cells and can be 'armed' with exogenous transgenes for enhanced potency. We hypothesized that a CRAd armed with osteoprotegerin (OPG), an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, would inhibit the progression of prostate cancer bone metastases by directly lysing tumor cells and by reducing osteoclast activity. Although prostate cancer bone metastases are predominantly osteoblastic in nature, increased osteoclast activity is critical for the growth of these lesions. Ad5-Δ24-sOPG-Fc-RGD is a CRAd that carries a fusion of the ligand-binding domains of OPG and the Fc region of human IgG1 in place of the viral E3B genes. To circumvent low tumor cell expression of the native adenoviral receptor, an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide insertion within the viral fiber knob allows infection of cells expressing α(v) integrins. A 24-base pair deletion (Δ24) within viral E1A limits replication to cells with aberrant retinoblastoma cell cycle regulator/tumor suppressor expression. We have confirmed that Ad5-Δ24-sOPG-Fc-RGD replicates within and destroys prostate cancer cells and, in both murine and human coculture models, that infection of prostate cancer cells inhibits osteoclastogenesis in vitro. In a murine model, progression of advanced prostate cancer bone metastases was inhibited by treatment with Ad5-Δ24-sOPG-Fc-RGD but not by an unarmed control CRAd.

Abstract
In prostate cancer, androgen blockade strategies are commonly used to treat osteoblastic bone metastases. However, responses to these therapies are typically brief, and the mechanism underlying androgen-independent progression is not clear. Here, we established what we believe to be the first human androgen receptor-negative prostate cancer xenografts whose cells induced an osteoblastic reaction in bone and in the subcutis of immunodeficient mice. Accordingly, these cells grew in castrated as well as intact male mice. We identified FGF9 as being overexpressed in the xenografts relative to other bone-derived prostate cancer cells and discovered that FGF9 induced osteoblast proliferation and new bone formation in a bone organ assay. Mice treated with FGF9-neutralizing antibody developed smaller bone tumors and reduced bone formation. Finally, we found positive FGF9 immunostaining in prostate cancer cells in 24 of 56 primary tumors derived from human organ-confined prostate cancer and in 25 of 25 bone metastasis cases studied. Collectively, these results suggest that FGF9 contributes to prostate cancer-induced new bone formation and may participate in the osteoblastic progression of prostate cancer in bone. Androgen receptor-null cells may contribute to the castration-resistant osteoblastic progression of prostate cancer cells in bone and provide a preclinical model for studying therapies that target these cells.
