Summary Most advanced breast cancer patients (BCP) develop osteolytic bone metastasis as a result of the imbalance between osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption processes.In bone marrow (BM) aspirates of untreated BCP (infiltrative ductal breast carcinoma, clinical stage III and IV, without bone and BM metastasis), a decrease in cloning efficiency of BM-mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), measured as number of colony forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-F), and a decrease in its osteogenic differentiation capacity compared to healthy volunteers (HV) were found . Moreover, spontaneous osteoclastogenesis (SpOC) in BM and peripheral blood of BCP were observed, while SpOC was not observed in BM of HV. Finally, evaluation of the osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSC and osteoclastogenic potential of BM-hematopoietic progenitors as well as peripheral blood-monocytes are considered important as possible prognostic factors for future bone disorders that may favor the invasion of BC cells into bone.
