　　Abstract: 70% of breast or prostate cancer patients die with bone metastasis, which are resulted from the interactions among the disseminated tumor cells with cells in the bone microenvironment.  The bone microenvironment contains variety of cells differentiated from hematopoietic or mesenchymal lineage, as well as abundant growth factors such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β).  The effect of TGF-β signaling is highly context-dependent, plays central role in bone metastasis and tumor dormancy.  In this talk, I will share with you our published and unpublished studies on the cell-specific role and mechanism of TGF-β signaling in bone metastasis and tumor dormancy.
