Abstract |
Bone metastasis of breast cancer causes severe skeletal-related events and poor prognosis. Wensheng Zhuanggu Formula (WSZG), a traditional Chinese prescription, is used to adjunctively treat breast cancer bone metastases in clinical practice. This study was undertaken to investigate the antibone-metastatic activities and mechanisms of WSZG extract by evaluating the effect of this formula on the cross-talk between bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and breast cancer cells in triggering epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vivo and in vitro. The results demonstrated that BMSCs might enhance the invasive and metastatic potentials of breast cancer cells as a consequence of EMT induction through direct cell-to-cell contact. WSZG treatment remarkably suppressed motility, invasion, EMT-related gene, and protein markers in BMSC-conditioned breast cancer cells and ameliorated bone metastases and damages in nude mice following co-injection of BMSCs and MDA-MB-231BO breast cancer cells. Further investigation showed that the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads pathway was an important mechanism enabling BMSCs to induce EMT occurrence of breast cancer cells. WSZG treatment reversed BMSC-induced EMT by downregulating TGF-β1/Smads signaling. Thus, WSZG extracts may be regarded as a potential antibone-metastatic agent for breast cancer therapy.
