Prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastasis is frequently associated with bone-forming lesions, but the source of the osteoblastic lesions remains unclear. We show that the tumor-induced bone derives partly from tumor-associated endothelial cells that have undergone endothelial-to-osteoblast (EC-to-OSB) conversion. The tumor-associated osteoblasts in PCa bone metastasis specimens and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were found to co-express endothelial marker Tie-2. BMP4, identified in PDX-conditioned medium, promoted EC-to-OSB conversion of 2H11 endothelial cells. BMP4 overexpression in non-osteogenic C4-2b PCa cells led to ectopic bone formation under subcutaneous implantation. Tumor-induced bone was reduced in trigenic mice (Tie2/Osx/SCID) with endothelial-specific deletion of osteoblast cell-fate determinant OSX compared with bigenic mice (Osx/SCID). Thus, tumor-induced EC-to-OSB conversion is one mechanism that leads to osteoblastic bone metastasis of PCa.
前列腺癌（PCa）骨转移常伴有成骨病变，但其成骨病变的来源尚不清楚。我们发现，肿瘤诱导生成的骨部分源自经历了内皮细胞向成骨细胞（EC-to-OSB）转化的肿瘤相关内皮细胞。在PCa骨转移标本和患者来源的异种移植（PDX）中发现，肿瘤相关成骨细胞共表达内皮标志物Tie-2。在PDX条件培养基中鉴定出的BMP4可促进2H11内皮细胞的EC-to-OSB转化。非成骨性C4-2b PCa细胞中BMP4的过表达导致皮下植入后出现异位骨形成。与双基因小鼠（Osx/SCID）相比，在内皮细胞特异性缺失成骨细胞命运决定因子OSX的三基因小鼠（Tie2/Osx/SCID）中，肿瘤诱导生成的骨减少。因此，肿瘤诱导的EC-to-OSB转化是导致PCa成骨性骨转移的一种机制。
