Abstract

Bone frequently serves as a metastatic site for breast and prostate cancers. Given the potential of low-intensity vibration (LIV) to increase bone health and reduce cancer risk, this study investigated the impact of LIV on cancer cells, as well as noncancer cells such as lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The results revealed that LIV exposure not only suppressed cancer cell migration but also triggered the generation of induced tumor-suppressing (iTS) cells. Conditioned medium (CM) derived from LIV-treated PBMCs shrank freshly isolated breast and prostate cancer tissues, and when CM was combined with a chemotherapeutic agent, additional antitumor effects were observed. Notably, iTS cell-derived CM hindered the maturation of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-stimulated bone-resorbing osteoclasts while promoting the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts. Intriguingly, the anticancer effects induced by LIV were replicated by simply shaking a cell-containing tube with a regular tube shaker. Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, this study revealed enrichment of tumor-suppressing proteins, including enolase 1, moesin (MSN), and aldolase A (ALDOA), which are commonly found in oncogene-activated iTS cells, in LIV-induced CM. Sad1 and UNC-84 domain containing 1 (SUN1), a core component of the linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex, exhibited heightened expression, notably enhancing the response of lymphocytes to LIV. An ex vivo bone cancer model further demonstrated the potent anticancer effects of lymphocyte-derived CM. In conclusion, this study underscores the pivotal role of LIV in preventing bone loss in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract

Abstract Background Conventional progressive concentric strengthening exercise (CSE) to improve bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) may not be feasible for populations with chronic musculoskeletal and/or metabolic conditions, such as osteoporosis or obesity. Muscle lengthening exercise, also known as an eccentric strengthening exercise (ESE), may have a special utility for those populations due to greater force generation versus CSE. In fact, greater mechanical loading can be induced on bone at lower resistance levels with ESE. However, effects of ESE on BMD and BMC are unclear. Thus, the purpose of this review was to interrogate the effects of ESE on BMD and BMC. Methods A literature review was conducted between January 1995 and April 2022 focusing on randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of ESE on BMD and/or BMC in humans. Terms covering the domains of exercise, bone, and populations were searched on PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. The methodological quality of each interventional study was rated using Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Cohen’s d was calculated to determine the magnitude of the effects of ERE on site-specific outcome measures of BMD and/or BMC. Results Out of 1,182 articles initially found, a total of seven full length articles met our inclusion criteria. Of the seven studies, most of the interventions were performed in young (n = 5, PEDro = 5–7) versus middle-aged (n = 1, PEDro = 4) or older (n = 1, PEDro = 6) adults. BMD and BMC generally improved due to ESE; however the effects of ESE on BMD and BMC were non-homogenous. Effect size (d) ranged from 0.10–0.87 in young adults while it was 1.16 in older adults. Effect size (d) could not be calculated for the middle-aged adult study due to critical methodological limitations of the intervention. Conclusions Large variability exists for the effectiveness of ESE on BMD/BMC across the human life spectrum. The benefits of ESE on BMD holds promise but rigorous studies are lacking. Further research is needed to examine if the dose, mode, age, and sex-specificity dictate effects of ESE on BMD/BMC.

Abstract

The Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex serves to connect the nuclear envelope and the cytoskeleton, influencing cellular processes such as nuclear arrangement, architecture, and mechanotransduction. The role LINC plays in mechanotransduction pathways in bone progenitor cells has been well studied; however, the mechanisms by which LINC complexes govern in vivo bone formation remain less clear. To bridge this knowledge gap, we established a murine model disrupting LINC using transgenic Prx-Cre mice and floxed Tg(CAG-LacZ/EGFP-KASH2) mice. Prx-Cre mice express the Cre recombinase enzyme controlled by the paired-related homeobox gene-1 promoter (Prrx1), a pivotal regulator of skeletal development. Prx-Cre animals have been widely used in the bone field to target bone progenitor cells. Tg(CAG-LacZ/EGFP-KASH2) mice carry a lox-stop-lox flanked LacZ gene allowing for the overexpression of an EGFP-KASH2 fusion protein via cre recombinase mediated deletion of the LacZ cassette. This disrupts endogenous Nesprin-Sun binding in a dominant negative manner disconnecting nesprin from the nuclear envelope. By combining these lines, we generated a Prrx1(+) cell-specific LINC disruption model to study its impact on the developing skeleton and subsequently exercise-induced bone accrual. The findings presented here indicate Prx-driven LINC disruption (PDLD) cells exhibit no change in osteogenic and adipogenic potential compared to controls in vitro nor are there bone quality changes when compared to in sedentary animals at 8 weeks. While PDLD animals displayed increased voluntary running activity andPrrx1(+) cell-specific LINC disruption abolished the exercise-induced increases in osteoid volume and surface after a 6-week exercise intervention, no other changes in bone microarchitecture or mechanical properties were found.
