Aetiology: The path to disease 2011-12-14T18:21:15.300Z Mayo Clinic haematologist Vincent Rajkumar argues that much of the debate boils down to a fundamental difference of opinion over the end goal of myeloma treatment. Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z “This is evidence that all the changes in bone metabolism that myeloma induces are not a simple manifestation or by-product, but rather an integral part of the disease,” he says. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z In the chain of events leading to multiple myeloma, two factors seem to dictate the disease process: the internal genetic alterations within cancerous plasma cells, and their external environment in the bone marrow.

Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z In addition to the inherent complexity in the myeloma genome, there is evidence that the cancer genome evolves over time in the same patient. Genetics: Profiling a shape-shifter 2011-12-14T18:21:12.203Z Patients often survive for many years after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and the focus of research is widening from prolonging patients' lives to ensuring that those lives are more comfortable.

Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z When one particular long-lived blood cell, a plasma cell, acquires a certain combination of genetic mutations, it leads to the unchecked growth of myeloma. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z Why can drugs send patients with multiple myeloma into seemingly complete remission 80–90 of the time but never cure them? Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z One such cytokine, interleukin-17, causes inflammation by increasing the activity of osteoblasts and myeloma cells and thus encouraging bone degradation and tumour growth. Orthopaedics: Structural support 2011-12-14T18:21:16.733Z The myeloma cells also develop modifications that help them survive outside the niche in which they were formed. Aetiology: The path to disease 2011-12-14T18:21:15.300Z This doesn't happen in patients undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma. Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z His group was investigating the drug resistance that inevitably occurred in patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood plasma cells. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z If we had a way of killing these cells, he says, we could cure multiple myeloma. Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z It was the use of bisphosphonates for multiple myeloma that led to further revelations. Orthopaedics: Structural support 2011-12-14T18:21:16.733Z But in multiple myeloma, this genetic rearrangement leads to one or several unwanted mutations, setting off a chain reaction that results in the cells overexpressing and creating unchecked clones. Aetiology: The path to disease 2011-12-14T18:21:15.300Z And some are quick to point out that such cures have been achieved in some patients with multiple myeloma treated with protocols that are far less aggressive than total therapy. Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z Using a similar approach, several studies in the 1990s and early 2000s showed that when myeloma binds to various neighbours, it spurs them to produce growth factors that benefit the cancer cell. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z Proponents of the cancer stem-cell idea say it explains why, in multiple myeloma and other cancers, drugs that can seem to miraculously and rapidly shrink tumours do not lead to long-term survival. Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z So myeloma emerged as a model for studying bone disease. Orthopaedics: Structural support 2011-12-14T18:21:16.733Z A phase II trial in patients with multiple myeloma and other blood cancers will begin soon, according to the drug's developer, Onyx Pharmaceuticals. Drugs: More shots on target 2011-12-14T18:21:03.017Z Blood tests revealed rising levels of monoclonal protein — a hallmark of multiple myeloma — and X-rays exposed several lesions in the bones around his hips, sternum, ribs and head. Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z “The myeloma cells are inducing the microenvironment to generate this immunosuppressive force field around them,” says Lee, who led the study. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z These ideas can be tested, Wicha and others believe, in patients with multiple myeloma who have used existing drugs to achieve clinical remission, with all their cancerous plasma cells eradicated. Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z The inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis is related to the activity of the cell's cytokines, which are also involved in the progression of multiple myeloma.

Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z In 2007, Lee found that when myeloma cells encounter dendritic cells, the myeloma cells produce CD28, a signalling molecule in the immune system. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z These assumptions led to confusion and debates about whether cells that were more differentiated, or less rare, could be considered cancer stem cells — a controversy that is particularly relevant to multiple myeloma. Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z His team implanted two fetal bones in a single mouse and injected myeloma cells into just one of them. Animal models: Towards a myeloma mouse 2011-12-14T18:21:00.887Z Early trials of bortezomib hinted at its effectiveness, particularly against myeloma cells that were already resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Drugs: More shots on target 2011-12-14T18:21:03.017Z Some myeloma specialists favour an aggressive treatment tactic, in which transplants are administered soon after diagnosis, when the disease is thought to be at its most vulnerable. Stem cells: Transplants on trial 2011-12-14T18:21:06.080Z In 2009, Anderson's team reported that in myeloma, plasmacytoid dendritic cells are immature and fail to trigger the host's immune response, allowing myeloma to thrive. Microenvironment: Neighbourhood watch 2011-12-14T18:21:10.780Z The central question in multiple myeloma is whether the cells with these properties — the ability to recapitulate the disease and to self-renew — are plasma cells or the B cells that give rise to plasma cells. Tumorigenesis: Testing ground for cancer stem cells 2011-12-14T18:21:04.423Z This might sound like a convoluted system, but that's not unusual for animal models of multiple myeloma.
