The tendency of prostate cancer to produce osteoblastic bone metastases suggests that cancer cells and osteoblasts interact in ways that contribute to cancer progression. To identify factors that mediate these interactions, we compared gene expression patterns between two bone-derived prostate cancer cell lines that produce osteoblastic (MDA PCa 2b) or osteolytic lesions (PC-3). Both cell lines expressed Wnt...
