abstract
Low-magnitude (≤1 g) high-frequency (≥30 Hz) (LMHF) vibration has been shown to enhance bone mineral density. However, its regulation in breast cancer bone metastasis remains controversial for breast cancer patients and elder populations. Yoda1, an activator of the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel, could potentially intensify the effect of LMHF vibration by enhancing the mechanoresponse of osteocytes, the major mechanosensory bone cells with high expression of Piezo1. In this study, we treated osteocytes with mono- (Yoda1 only or vibration only) or combined treatment (Yoda1 and LMHF vibration) and examined the further regulation of osteoclasts and breast cancer cells through the conditioned medium. Moreover, we studied the effects of combined treatment on breast cancer cells in regulation of osteocytes. Combined treatment on osteocytes showed beneficial effects, including increasing the nuclear translocation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) in osteocytes (488.0%, p < 0.0001), suppressing osteoclastogenesis (34.3%, p = 0.004), and further reducing migration of MDA-MB-231 (15.1%, p = 0.02) but not Py8119 breast cancer cells (4.2%, p = 0.66). Finally, MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells subjected to the combined treatment decreased the percentage of apoptotic osteocytes (34.5%, p = 0.04) but did not affect the intracellular calcium influx. This study showed the potential of stimulating Piezo1 in enhancing the mechanoresponse of osteocytes to LMHF vibration and further suppressing breast cancer migration via osteoclasts.
