Abstract
During tumor growth, the delivery of oxygen to cells is impaired due to aberrant or absent vasculature. This causes an adaptative response that activates the expression of genes that control several essential processes, such as glycolysis, neovascularization, immune suppression, and the cancer stemness phenotype, leading to increased metastasis and resistance to therapy. Hypoxic tumor cells also respond to an altered hypoxic microenvironment by secreting vesicles, factors, cytokines and nucleic acids that modify not only the immediate microenvironment but also organs at distant sites, allowing or facilitating the attachment and growth of tumor cells and contributing to metastasis. Hypoxia induces the release of molecules of different biochemical natures, either secreted or inside extracellular vesicles, and both tumor cells and stromal cells are involved in this process. The mechanisms by which these signals that can modify the premetastatic niche are sent from the primary tumor site include changes in the extracellular matrix, recruitment and activation of different stromal cells and immune or nonimmune cells, metabolic reprogramming, and molecular signaling network rewiring. In this review, we will discuss how hypoxia might alter the premetastatic niche through different signaling molecules.

[PMID: 34748870 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Bone tissues are the main metastatic sites of many cancers, and bone metastasis is an important cause of death. When bone metastasis occurs, dynamic interactions between tumor cells and bone tissues promote changes in the tumor-bone microenvironments that are conducive to tumor growth and progression, which also promote several related diseases, including pathological fracture, bone pain, and hypercalcemia. Accordingly, it has obvious clinical benefits for improving the cure rate and reducing the occurrence of related diseases through targeting bone microenvironments for the treatment and early detection of cancer bone metastasis niches. In this review, we briefly analyzed the relationship between bone microstructures and tumor metastasis, as well as microenvironmental changes in osteoblasts, osteoclasts, immune cells, and extracellular and bone matrixes caused when metastatic tumor cells colonize bones. We also discuss novel designs in nanodrugs for inhibiting tumor proliferation and migration through targeting to tumor bone metastases and abnormal bone-microenvironment components. In addition, related researches on the early detection of bone and multi-organ metastases by nanoprobes are also introduced. And we look forward to provide some useful proposals and enlightenments on nanotechnology-based drug delivery and probes for the treatment and early detection of bone metastasis.
