Abstract：
:The negative impact of metastases on the mechanical performance of vertebral bone is often attributed to reduced bone density and/or compromised architecture. However limited characterization has been done on the impact of metastasis on the mineralization of bone tissue and resulting changes in material behaviour. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of metastasis on micro and nano scale characteristics of the mineral phase of bone, specifically mineral crystal growth, homogeneity of mineralization and changes in intrinsic material properties. Female athymic rats were inoculated with HeLa or Ace-1 cancer cells lines producing osteolytic or mixed (osteolytic & osteoblastic) metastases respectively (N=17 per group). A maximum of 21 days was allowed between inoculation and sacrifice of inoculated rats and healthy age-matched uninoculated controls (N=11). X-ray diffraction was used to assess average crystal size in crushed L1-L3 vertebrae; backscatter electron microscopy and nanoindentation were utilized to evaluate modifications in bone mineral density distribution and material behaviour (tissue hardness and modulus) in sagittal-sectioned, embedded and polished L5 vertebrae. HeLa inoculated samples showed reduced mineral crystal width compared to healthy controls. While both types of metastatic involvement reduced tissue mineral content, pathological osteoblastic bone, specific to Ace-1 inoculated samples, significantly decreased tissue mineral homogeneity, whereas osteolytic bone from HeLa samples saw a slight increase in homogeneity. The modulus and hardness of pathological osteoblastic bone was diminished compared to all other bone. Elucidating changes in material behaviour and mineralization of bone tissue is key to defining bone quality in the presence of metastatic involvement.
