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.
