Bone marrow (BM) adipocytes are abundant in BM and may be involved in the process of bone metastasis. However, their behaviors in metastatic BM niches during bone metastasis have not been fully explored. In this study, intracardiac transplantation of B16-F10 melanoma cells into immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice was performed. Tibial marrow sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) and analyzed using a histomorphometric system. The results showed that the number of BM adipocytes rapidly increased in melanoma metastatic BM niches, which were in direct contact with metastasizing melanoma cells and acted as a tumor stromal population in the BM-melanoma niche. Melanoma cell-derived factors could enhance BM adipogenesis, which promotes melanoma cell proliferation and cell cycle transitions. Moreover, BM adipocytes might aid in the modification of the osteolytic BM microenvironment. These results indicate that an increase in the number of BM adipocytes in a metastatic BM niche may facilitate melanoma cell colonization and growth in BM. BM adipocytes might therefore support the development of bone metastases.
