Breast cancer cells are attracted to the bone microenvironment, where they induce bone cells to resorb bone, which enhances tumour cell proliferation in a positive feedback loop often referred to as the vicious cycle. While this phenomenon is established, the molecular interactions between cancer cells and bone cells are not well defined. CXCL5\/CXCR2 signalling has recently been shown to promote breast cancer colonization to the bone. Here, we investigate the effects of osteoblasts and osteocytes on breast cancer cell proliferation in engineered two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models. We observed that osteoblasts and osteocytes induce proliferative effects on cancer cells. Specifically, bone cells increase cancer proliferation in 2D culture, and osteoblasts increase cancer growth more than osteocytes in 3D models. Moreover, osteocyte interaction with cancer cells in 3D models is stiffness dependent. We show that these effects depend on the CXCL5\/CXCR2 signalling axis. Taken together, we demonstrate that osteoblasts enhance cancer growth in a bone metastatic niche and that this effect is reversible with CXCL5\/CXCR2 inhibition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rsif.2025.0753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,18]],"date-time":"2026-02-18T00:15:17Z","timestamp":1771373717000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Osteoblasts exert a pro-tumorigenic effect on breast cancer spheroids through CXCL5\/CXCR2 signalling in two-dimensional and three-dimensional bone mimetic cultures"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2030-754X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Nano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame 1 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Bioengineering Graduate Program"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 2 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Harper Cancer Research Institute"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 3 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Tissue Mechanics Laboratory"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0492-3801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Syeda Masooma","family":"Naqvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Galway 4 , ,","place":["Galway, Ireland"],"department":["Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5893-862X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabella","family":"Weiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame 3 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Tissue Mechanics Laboratory"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8727-6121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalie","family":"Volz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame 3 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Tissue Mechanics Laboratory"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 5 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1302-328X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vatsal","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Galway 4 , ,","place":["Galway, Ireland"],"department":["Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0839-8274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laurie E.","family":"Littlepage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame 2 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Harper Cancer Research Institute"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5050-9230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laoise M.","family":"McNamara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Galway 4 , ,","place":["Galway, Ireland"],"department":["Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7134-2716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Glen L.","family":"Niebur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame 1 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Bioengineering Graduate Program"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 2 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Harper Cancer Research Institute"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 3 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Tissue Mechanics Laboratory"]},{"name":"University of Notre Dame 5 , , ,","place":["Notre Dame, IN, USA"],"department":["Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026021719151182300_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"411","DOI":"10.1038\/nrc3055","article-title":"Cancer to bone: a fatal attraction","volume":"11","author":"Weilbaecher","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nat.
