dc.description.abstractDevelopment of breast cancer-induced bone loss depends on the activation of osteoclasts by tumor-derived factors that promote osteoclastogenesis and osteolysis. The PI3K pathway is activated by several of these factors, in particular CSF-1. Given the ability of PI3K signaling to promote osteoclast survival and activity in a CSF-1R dependent manner, we hypothesized that inhibition of CSF-1R or PI3K signaling with compounds GW2580 and ABT-869, and IC87114, respectively, would decrease osteoclast development and activity leading to decreased osteolysis. Using bioluminescence imaging and μCT, we identified that GW2580 and ABT-869 significantly decreased osteolytic lesions and tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 bone metastases. Also, GW2580 increased bone mass in normal C57BL/6 mice, validating the effect of this inhibitor on CSF-1R-expressing osteoclasts in vivo. Since IC87114 failed to reduce tumor growth and osteolytic damage, we concluded that CSF-1R signaling, independent of PI3K p110δ signaling, contributes significantly to tumor growth and to tumor-induced osteolysis in this model.en_US
