摘要
Breast cancer bone metastasis poses significant challenge for therapeutic strategies.Inside the metastatic environment,osteoclasts and tumor cells interact synergistically to promote cancer progression.In this study,the proprotein convertase furin is targeted due to its critical roles in both tumor cell invasion and osteoclast function.Importantly,the furin inhibitor is specifically delivered by bone targeting superparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO)nanoparticles.Our in vitro and in vivo data demonstrate that this system can effectively inhibit both osteoclastic bone resorption and breast cancer invastion,leading to alleviated osteolysis.Therefore,the bone targeting&furin inhibition nanoparticle system is a promising therapeutic and diagnostic strategy for breast cancer bone metastasis.
