Combinatorial targeting of cancer bone metastasis using mRNA engineered mesenchymal stem cells. Proposed strategy for bone metastasis treatment by targeted delivery of multiple factors using mRNA-engineered mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) equipped with functions for a) specific and efficient bone metastases homing through P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and Sialyl-Lewis X (SLEX), b) local cancer killing through cytosine deaminase (CD)/pro-drug 5-Fluorocytosine, and c) osteolysis inhibition within the tumour niche through a modified version of RANKL decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG).
