Cancer development is complex and involves several layers of interactions and pleotropic signalling mechanisms leading to progression. Cancer cells associate with resident stromal fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, endothelium, neurons and migrating cells at metastatic sites and phenotypically and genotypically activate them. These become an integral part of the cancer cell community through activated cell signalling mechanisms. During this process, the cancer cells and cells in the cancer microenvironment “co-evolve” in part due to oxidative stress, and acquire the ability to mimic other cell types (which can be termed osteomimicry, vasculomimicry, neuromimicry and stem cell mimicry), and undergo transition from epithelium to mesenchyme with definitive behavioral modifications. In our laboratory, we demonstrated that prostate cancer cells co-evolve in their genotypic and phenotypic characters with stroma and acquire osteomimetic properties allowing them to proliferate and survive in the skeleton as bone metastasis. Several signalling interactions in the bone microenvironment, mediated by reactive oxygen species, soluble and membrane bound factors, such as superoxide, β2microglobulin and RANKL have been described. Targeting the signalling pathways in the cancer-associated stromal microenvironment in combination with known conventional therepeutic modalities could have a synergistic effect on cancer treatment. Since cancer cells are constantly interacting and acquiring adaptive and survival changes primarily directed by their microenvironment, it is important to delineate these interactions and co-target both cancer and stroma to improve the treatment and overall survival of cancer patients.
