| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Whole body vibration (WBV) is reported to be bone-anabolic; however, its preventive effect on metastatic progression of breast cancer to bone remains unclear. In the present study, bone destruction by breast cancer metastasis was examined in tumor-bearing mice exposed to WBV. Breast cancer cells 4T1 was implanted at the mammary fat pad of female BALB/c mice aged 8 wk. One day after the implantation, mice were divided into three groups (n=10 each): W_45, W_90, and s_W, exposed to 45-Hz, 0.3g-WBV, 90Hz, 0.3g-WBV, and sham-WBV, respectively, for 20 min/day, 5 d/wk for 3 wk. The reduction of both cortical and cancellous bone volumes was suppressed in W_90. The serum osteocalcin level in W_90 mice was elevated compared with that in s_W. These results indicated that WBV may mitigate or retard the metastatic progression of breast cancer in a frequency-dependent manner, likely owing to the WBV-enhanced osteogenic activity.
