| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bone tumor destruction may be interfered by whole body vibration (WBV) because of its bone anabolic action. However, WBV also potentiates angiogenesis, providing a favorable tumor environment. Thus, we investigated the effect of WBV on bone tumor destruction and angiogenesis. Mice with tibial bone inoculation of breast cancer cells were exposed to WBV (90Hz, 0.3g, 20 min/day) and compared with those undergoing no WBV exposure. On day 28 post-inoculation, the tumor region was perfused with a contrast agent and CT-scanned. Lesions of osteolysis and new bone formation increased and decreased, respectively, and the tumor vascularity was enhanced by the WBV exposure, implying the involvement of angiogenesis in the WBV-enhanced tumor malignancy. These results were confirmed by in vivo phase-CT and bone marker analysis. The possibility of anti-bone resorption effect of WBV cannot be completely denied though, because of its dose-dependent efficacy for osteogenesis.
