ABSTRACT
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the accumulation of malignant plasma cells within the bone marrow (BM). MM cells interact with the microenvironment and induce pathological modifications that in turn support the growth and survival of MM cells. The BM microenvironment consists of various extracellular matrix proteins, and cell components as haematopoietic stem cells, progenitor and precursor cells, immune cells, erythrocytes, BM stromal cells (BMSCs), BM endothelial cells, as well as osteoclasts and osteoblasts that are able to secret several growth factors for MM cells. The direct interactions of MM cells with the microenvironment and the secreted cytokines activate signalling pathways mediating growth, survival, drug resistance and the migration of MM cells as well as osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis. In this article we underline in particular the new evidences at the basis of the interaction between MM cell and bone cells and the potential role of osteoclast and osteoblast in MM pathophysiology.
RESUMO
O mieloma múltiplo (MM) é uma doença maligna das células plasmáticas caracterizada pelo acúmulo de células plasmáticas na medula óssea (MO). As células do MM interagem com o microambiente e induzem modificações patológicas que, por seu turno, propiciam o crescimento e a sobrevida das células do MM. O microambiente da MO consiste de várias proteínas da matriz extracelular e de componentes hematopoéticos células-tronco, progenitoras e precursoras, células imunes, eritrocitárias, estromais, endoteliais. Possuem também osteoclastos e osteoblastos capazes de secreção de fatores de crescimento das células do MM. A direta interação das células mielomatosas com o microambiente e a secreção de citocinas ativam cascatas sinalizadoras que mediam o crescimento, sobrevida, resistência a drogas e a migração destas células assim como a osteoclastogênese e a angiogênese. Neste artigo explicitamos novas evidências e as bases da interação das células mielomatosas e as células medulares e o provável papel dos osteoclastos e dos osteoblastos na fisiopatologia do MM.
