| Abstract | Spontaneous development of osteoblastic lesions of prostate cancer (PCa) in mice is modeled by orthotopic (intraprostatic) deposition of neoplastic cells followed by an extremely long latency associated with low incidence of spontaneous bone metastasis. Intracardial injection results in overt bone metastases only with osteoclastic PCa cells (i.e., PC-3). Herein, we report that androgen independent osteoblastic PCa cells readily colonize bone when in a high remodeling state. SCID/Beige mice were subjected to periods of intermittent human parathyroid hormone 1–34 (hPTH) exposure, followed by an intracardiac infusion of osteoblastic C4-2 PCa cells. At the time of PCa infusion, analysis of bone turnover markers from mice treated with hPTH revealed significant increases in osteocalcin (55.06 ± 7.5 vs. 74.01 ± 18.5 ng/ml) and TRAcP-5b (3.3 ± 0.6 vs. 4.81 ± 0.8 U/l), but no change in type I collagen C-terminal teleopeptide levels relative to control mice. Analysis of femoral cancellous bone architecture revealed significant increases in bone mineral density, trabecular thickness (0.056 ± 0.002 vs. 0.062 ± 0.001 mm) and porosity, but significant decreases in connectivity density and trabecular number in hPTH treated mice relative to controls. By 8 weeks post-infusion, 70% of mice pre-treated with hPTH demonstrated detectable serum prostate specific antigen (PSAs) ranging between 2 and 18.8 ng/ml. Immuno-histochemical labeling of femurs for PSA and pan-Cytokeratin revealed the presence of significant tumor cell nests in marrow and trabecular spaces. These results suggest that: (1) local bone physiology is an important factor for developing osteoblastic/sclerotic PCa bone metastases in murine hosts; (2) the establishment of osteosclerotic PCa bone metastases in mice is enhanced by alterations that drive bone formation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
