Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are indispensable cells constituting the bone marrow microenvironment that are generally recognized as being involved in the development and progression of osteosarcoma (OS). To explore whether mTORC2 signaling inhibition in BMSCs suppressed OS growth and tumor-caused bone destruction, 3-month-old littermates genotyped Rictorflox/flox or Prx1-cre; Rictorflox/flox (with same gender) were injected with K7M2 cells in the proximal tibia. After 40 days, bone destruction was alleviated in Prx1-cre; Rictorflox/flox mice, as observed on X-ray and micro-CT. This was accompanied by decreased serum N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I (PINP) levels and reduced tumor bone formation in vivo. Interactions between K7M2 and BMSCs were studied in vitro. Rictor-deficient BMSCs, which were cultured in tumor-conditioned medium (TCM), caused reduced bone proliferation and suppressed osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, compared with the control group, K7M2 cells cultured in BCM (culture medium extracted from Rictor-deficient BMSCs) displayed less proliferation, migration, and invasion, and attenuated osteogenic activity. Forty types of cytokines were then analyzed by mouse cytokine array and decreased levels CCL2/3/5 and interleukin-16 were detected in Rictor-deficient BMSCs. These results suggested that inhibition of mTORC2 (Rictor) signaling pathway in BMSCs exerted anti-OS effects through 2 mechanisms: (1) by suppressing the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs induced by OS to alleviate bone destruction; (2) by reducing the secretion of cytokines by BMSCs, which are closely related to OS cell growth, migration, invasion, and tumorigenic osteogenesis.
