Background/Aims: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BM Ps) and BM P receptors widely participate in osteolytic metastasis of breast cancer, while their role in tumor-stromal interaction is largely unknown. In this study, we investigated whether BMP receptor type la (BMPR1a) can alter the interaction between metastatic cancer cells and osteoclast precursors. Methods: Adenovirusmediated RNA interference was used to interrupt target genes of human breast cancer cell lines and nude mice were injected intratibially with the cancer cells. Tumor-bearing mice were examined by bioluminescence imaging and microCT. Sections of metastatic legs were measured by a series of staining methods. Murine bone marrow mononuclear cells or RAW264.7 cells were cultured with conditioned media of breast cancer cells. RT-PCR. Western blotting and ELISA were used to test mRNA and protein expressions of target molecules. Results: Expression of BMPRla of MDA-MB-231-luc cells at tumor-bone interface was apparently stronger than that of cancer cells distant from the interface. Mice injected with BMPR1a-knockdown MDAMB-231-luc cells showed reduced tumor growth and bone destruction compared with control groups. Knockdown (KD) of BMPRla of MDA-MB-231-luc cells or MCF-7 cells decreased the level of receptor activator for NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL). Level of RANKL in MDA-MB-231-luc cells or MCF-7 cells was reduced by p38 inhibitor. Compared with control group, knockdown of p38 of breast cancer cells decreased cancer-induced osteoclastogenesis. Conclusion: Knockdown of BMPRla of breast cancer cells suppresses their production of RANKL via p38 pathway and inhibits cancer-induced osteoclastogenesis, which indicates that BMPRla might be a possible target in breast cancer-induced osteolytic metastasis.
