摘要: Osteolytic bone disease affects more than 80% of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with a negative impact on both quality life and overall survival. The pathogenesis osteolytic resides in increased osteoclast (OC) activation along osteoblast (OB) inhibition resulting altered remodeling. OC number activity MM are enhanced mainly via cytokine deregulation within the marrow (BM) milieu an imbalance OC/OB axis. Several novel agents currently under investigation for their positive effect remodeling or OB activation. In addition to restoring remodeling, these drugs may inhibit tumor growth vivo. Therefore, targeting is promising therapeutic strategy not only goal alleviating morbidity from but also resultant anti-tumor activity.
