| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bone metastases impair the quality of patients with malignancies. We focused on the co-effect of regulation of hyaluronan (HA) and bone modifying agents. We investigated the effects of 4-methylumbelliferone (MU) and/or bone modifying agents on HA expression in breast and lung cancer cell lines in addition to their tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo. MU or zoledronic acid treatment individually suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion of breast and lung cancer cell lines, and combination treatment of MU and zoledronic acid showed synergistic effects. Combination therapy showed additive inhibitory effects on metastatic bone lesions in vivo, which paralleled the inhibition of HA accumulation by MU, and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. These data suggest that inhibition of HA synthesis is a promising novel therapeutic candidate for bone metastasis in addition to bone modifying agents.
