A hypothetical model depicting osteocytes induces and maintains tumor dormancy in bone metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Osteocytes, sensing mechanical stimulation generated by exercise or mechanical loading, inhibit the proliferation and sustain the dormancy of NSCLC cells by releasing small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) with tumor suppressor micro-RNAs (miRNAs), such as miR-99b-3p, which inhibits the proliferation of NSCLC cells by directly targeting murine double minute 2 (MDM2).
