Research Abstract |
In the present study, we examined whether the changes in bone marrow cell population in tumor-bearing mice affect the development of bone metastases. Both in the bone marrow in the tumor-bearing mice and in the bone marrow with tumor metastases, the ratio of Gr-1+/CD11b+ cells was markedly increased. Furthermore, the inoculation of tumor cells with Gr-1+/CD11b+ cells isolated from tumor-bearing mice enhanced the formation of subcutaneous tumors. However, bone metastases were not increased in the presence of subcutaneous tumors. Further studies are required to fully define the relationship between bone marrow Gr-1+/CD11b+ cells and the development of bone metastases.
