Abstract |
Animal models will continue to be indispensable to investigate the pathogenesis of bone metastasis in vivo, conduct preclinical chemotherapeutic, chemoprevention and genetic therapy studies, test gene delivery mechanisms, and identify metastasis suppressor and inducer genes. It is likely that the bone marrow microenvironment, such as the endothelial cells, stromal cells, hematopoietic cells, bone cells, and the intercellular matrix play important roles in the localization and clonal growth of cancer cells in bone. Given the complexity of bone metastasis, many genes are expected to be involved in the pathogenesis and few are likely indispensable. The use of genomic and proteomic approaches to study these animal models will identify key targets for therapeutic intervention. As we further refine these models and use imaging for real-time evaluation of cells, and eventually target genes, these models will more closely mirror human disease and will hopefully become more predictive of the human response to therapy. |
