Moreover, the tumor microenvironment is an essential part of cancer homeostasis. Previously, it was shown that cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) are present in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, particularly in the mesenchymal stroma cells, at levels comparable to those of hepatocytes. It was found that the CYPs play important roles in nurturing and maintaining normal hematopoietic stem cells as well as multiple myeloma and leukemia cells, including protecting them from toxic insults. It was hypothesized that the CYPs in the BM microenvironment might play a similar role in solid tumors metastatic to bone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The interaction between the BM microenvironment and malignant cells that routinely metastasize to the bone (lung, breast, and prostate cancer) was modeled. Via genetic engineering and pharmacological approaches, the role of stromal cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in drug resistance promoted by the BM microenvironment in niche\u2013cancer models in vitro and in vivo was interrogated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>BM stroma protected prostate, breast, and lung cancer cells from cytotoxic chemotherapy. Stromal CYP3A4 was at least partially responsible for this protection in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, inhibiting CYP3A4 with clarithromycin overcame the stroma\u2010mediated chemoresistance toward prostate, breast, and lung cancer cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results suggest that, similar to observations from hematologic malignancies, the BM microenvironment, through expression of CYPs, creates a sanctuary site from chemotherapy for metastatic solid tumors. Targeting these sanctuaries holds promise for eradicating bone metastasis in solid tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.34704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,25]],"date-time":"2023-02-25T14:09:36Z","timestamp":1677334176000},"page":"1744-1751","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Bone
