Cancer, Bone & Beyond: systemic effects of pathological bone remodeling

Live Webinar: 7 October 2021, 4 pm CET 

Organised by ECTS

Date & Time: 7 October 2021, 4 pm CET

Featuring Therasa Guise, and moderated by  Jessica Pepe

Costs: Live webinar is free for ECTS members and non-members, but a registration is required. Recordings are accessible to ECTS members only.

Format:

  • 5 min welcome & introductions
  • 35 min presentation
  • 20 min Q&A

Learning Objectives:

  1. To recognize states of pathologic bone destruction and learn to prevent the consequences locally and systemically.
  2. To understand how bone destruction could alter glucose metabolism
  3. To recognize that bone loss could have adverse consequences on metabolism and muscle function

 

The Cancer-Bone-muscle interactions, Brussels, Belgium, 07-10-2021 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 1 European CME credits (ECMEC®s).

Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.”

Abstract

Breast cancer cells frequently disseminate to the bone marrow, where they may either enter a dormant state or colonize the bone and induce osteolysis. The mechanisms that regulate tumor cell entry and exit from dormancy in the bone are not well understood, but several factors have been identified. Previous work from our group found that leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) promotes tumor dormancy when expressed on bone-disseminated tumor cells and that loss of LIFR enables otherwise dormant tumor cells to colonize the bone. Our lab has therefore examined how LIFR expression is regulated in breast cancer cells, with the hope that understanding its regulation might provide novel avenues to therapeutically target dormant disseminated tumor cells. Through these efforts we have found that LIFR is epigenetically regulated, and that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, which are FDA-approved for several blood cancers, stimulate LIFR expression on breast cancer cells from all subtypes. This finding presents an interesting therapeutic opportunity to explore whether HDAC inhibitors may be used to promote a chronic state of tumor dormancy and prevent recurrence in bone. Our findings suggest that this may be feasible, but that the effects of histone deacetylase inhibitors on bone remodeling profoundly impact tumor colonization and must be combined with appropriate anti-resorptive therapies.
