Description

Bone metastatic prostate cancer is characterized by an immune-suppressive microenvironment. T cells that enter the body are worn out and ineffective. CCL20 is overexpressed in inflammatory monocytes and M2 polarized macrophages. T cell exhaustion is relieved and survival is prolonged when the CCL20/CCR6 axes are disrupted. Bone metastases are terrible cancer complications. They are resistant to immunotherapy and are particularly prevalent in prostate cancer, an incurable disease. By analyzing individual cells from bone metastatic prostate tumors, involved bone marrow, uninvolved bone marrow, bone marrow from cancer-free orthopedic patients, and healthy individuals, we hope to identify distinct characteristics of the bone marrow microenvironment. A targeted strategy for relieving local immunosuppression for therapeutic effect is demonstrated by comparative high-resolution analysis of PCa bone metastases. Since its inception, spinal bone marrow has been recognized as primarily a hematopoietic organ that serves as a unique reservoir for a variety of immune cells, including dendritic cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, which have the power to significantly alter the course of cancer. Beyond phagocytosis and antigen presentation, the innate myeloid immunity plays a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment. Myeloid cells directly contribute to tumor progression and metastases through the secretion of growth factors and the degradation of extracellular matrix, as well as shaping the tumor-adaptive immune response in response to treatment.

Bone Microenvironment

Despite this, these findings cannot be effectively applied to improved disease outcomes due to our inadequate understanding of myeloid cellular plasticity and heterogeneity. Although PCa clearly thrives in the BM microenvironment, numerous longitudinal obstacles have prevented better understanding of the supportive relationships between cell types. After decalcification, bone biopsies present difficulties centered on patient discomfort, feasibility, and sample quality. There are very few imaging biomarkers of how systemic therapy affects bone metastatic response. PCa metastatic to bone preclinical models have historically also been limited. Lastly, although bulk sequencing of tumor tissue has provided important insights, it is constrained by its inability to characterize subpopulations and the specific expression of tumor, immune, and stromal cell ligands and receptors. In cases of spinal cord compression, the tumor tissue that is surgically removed has little diagnostic value in current clinical practice. To assess populations of immune, tumor, and stromal cells in this environment, we systematically collect this fresh tissue for cell isolation, phenotyping, and expression analysis using single-cell RNA sequencing in this study. Both the acute and chronic phases of spinal cord injury have an impact on bone turnover and structure. Osteoporosis may have secondary causes that coexist, and as people get older, more bone is lost. The bone impairment that results from spinal cord injury is complicated by all of these factors, which makes the therapeutic approach challenging. After the second decade of SCI, the risk of fragility fractures rises, compromising the functional capacity and quality of life of SCI patients.

Interdisciplinary collaboration and appropriate planning of future research and interventions are required due to diagnostic flaws, the absence of a ranking system to categorize the degree of bone impairment comparable to that of the World Health Organization, and evidence-based clinical guidelines for management of SCI. An international task force looked at this and used it to create S1 Guidelines. Prophylactic basic osteoporosis therapy, diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in the acute and chronic phases, and rehabilitation countermeasures against osteoporosis related to spinal cord injury are the goals of this first version S1 guideline. The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis as a skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder. Based on well-conducted trials with fractures as the endpoint, anti-resorptive and anabolic drugs have significantly improved osteoporosis treatment. Although the extremely reduced mechanical stimulation brought on by the sudden immobilization may be a primary factor, it is possible that it is not the only one that contributes to bone loss in SCI.

Extracellular Matrix

Despite this, SCI injuries of either traumatic or pathological origin have distinct physiopathology, location, and progression, among other characteristics. May be clinically equivalent, incomplete, complete partial preservation of motor and/or sensory function below the neurological level, including the lowest sacral segment, or complete absence of sensory or motor function below the neurological level, including the lowest sacral segment. Due to its similar structure to calcium, lanthanum which is used in agriculture, medicine, and the chemical industry, accumulates in the body, particularly in the bone. In addition, La regulates osteoblasts and osteoclasts, a process that directly contributes to bone formation. However, the regulation of osteogenesis, osteoclast genesis, and angiogenesis in the bone microenvironment makes bone formation complicated. It is challenging to gain a comprehensive understanding of how a single type of cell regulates bone homeostasis.

The regulatory effect of La-based compound-lanthanum nitrate on bone formation was investigated in this study using some cells related to the bone microenvironment and culture models of mouse calvaria. The treatment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with lanthanum nitrate results in a significant increase in osteogenic differentiation and good biological safety. Osteoclasts, on the other hand, are less capable of differentiation, maturation, and bone erosion. In the meantime, when treated with lanthanum nitrate, human umbilical vein endothelial cells significantly increase their capacity for angiogenesis. In addition, lanthanum nitrate treatment improves bone metabolism and angiogenesis in the calvaria ex vivo culture model and BMMSC-HUVEC co-culture system.
