Bone metastases are the most severe and prevalent consequences of prostate cancer (PC), affecting more than 80% of patients with advanced PC. PCBMs generate pain, pathological fractures, and paralysis. As modern therapies increase survival, more patients are suffering from these catastrophic consequences. Radiographically, PCBMs are predominantly osteosclerotic, but the mechanisms of abnormal bone formation and how this pathological increase in bone density is related to fractures are unclear. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis on a cohort of 76 cadaveric PCBM specimens and 12 cancer-free specimens as controls. We used micro-computed tomography to determine 3D organization and quantify bone characteristics, quantitative backscattering electron microscopy to characterize mineral content and details in bone structure, nanoindentation to determine mechanical properties, and histological and immunohistochemical analysis of bone structure and composition. We define 4 PCBM phenotypes: osteolytic, mixed lytic-sclerotic, and 2 subgroups of osteosclerotic lesions—those with residual trabeculae, and others without residual trabeculae. The osteosclerotic lesions are characterized by the presence of abnormal bone accumulated on trabeculae surfaces and within intertrabecular spaces. This abnormal bone is characterized by higher lacunae density, abnormal lacunae morphology, and irregular lacunae orientation. However, mineral content, hardness, and elastic modulus at micron-scale were indistinguishable between this irregular bone and residual trabeculae. The collagen matrix of this abnormal bone presents with irregular organization and a prominent collagen III composition. These characteristics suggest that osteosclerotic PCBMs initiate new bone deposition as woven bone; however, the lack of subsequent bone remodeling, absence of lamellar bone deposition on its surface, and presence of collagen III distinguish this pathologic matrix from conventional woven bone. Although the mineralized matrix retains normal bone hardness and stiffness properties, the lack of fibril anisotropy presents a compromised trabecular structure, which may have clinical implications.
