2 Conditioned media (CM) collected from MLO-Y4 osteocyte cells treated with bisphosphonates inhibited the anchorage-independent growth, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and Py8119 mouse mammary carcinoma cells, and this inhibitory effect was attenuated with Cx43(E2), a specific hemichannel-blocking antibody.
