In the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, where breast cancer (BC) disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) can remain dormant for decades, NG2/Nestin mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote hematopoietic stem cell quiescence. Here, we reveal that periarteriolar BM-resident NG2/Nestin MSCs can also instruct BC DTCs to enter dormancy. NG2/Nestin MSCs produce TGFβ2 and BMP7 and activate a quiescence pathway dependent on TGFBRIII and BMPRII, which p38-kinase result in p27 induction. Genetic depletion of MSCs or conditional knock-out of TGFβ2 in MSCs using an NG2-Cre driver led to bone metastatic outgrowth of otherwise dormant p27/Ki67 DTCs. Also ER BC patients without systemic recurrence displayed higher frequency of TGFβ2 and BMP7 detection in the BM. Our results provide a direct proof that HSC dormancy niches control BC DTC dormancy and suggest that aging or extrinsic factors that affect the NG2/Nestin MSC niche homeostasis may result in a break from dormancy and BC bone relapse.
在骨髓（BM）微环境中，乳腺癌（BC）播散肿瘤细胞（DTCs）可保持休眠数十年，NG2/巢蛋白间充质干细胞（MSCs）促进造血干细胞静止。在此，我们发现小动脉周围驻留的BM-NG2/巢蛋白MSCs也能指导BC DTCs进入休眠状态。NG2/巢蛋白MSCs产生转化生长因子β2（TGFβ2）和骨形态发生蛋白7（BMP7），并激活一条依赖于转化生长因子β受体III（TGFBRIII）和骨形态发生蛋白受体II（BMPRII）的静止通路，这会导致p38激酶诱导p27。使用NG2-Cre驱动因子对MSCs进行基因缺失或条件性敲除MSCs中的TGFβ2，会导致原本休眠的p27/Ki67 DTCs发生骨转移生长。此外，无全身复发的雌激素受体（ER）阳性BC患者的骨髓中TGFβ2和BMP7的检测频率更高。我们的结果直接证明了造血干细胞休眠微环境控制着BC DTCs的休眠，并表明影响NG2/巢蛋白MSCs微环境稳态的衰老或外在因素可能导致休眠中断和BC骨复发。
