How Plasma Cells WorkHow Plasma Cells Work
• Develop from stem cells in bone marrow• Stem cells develop into B cells (B
lymphocytes)• Antigens enter body then B cells develop
into plasma cells • Produce antibodies

Normal Bone BiologyNormal Bone BiologyBone is always in an active state of
remodeling (build up/break down)
• Resorption: stimulated osteoclasts erode bone, creating a cavity
• Reversal: bone surface is prepared for osteoblasts to begin forming bone
• Formation: osteoblasts replace resorbed bone and fill the cavity with new bone
• Resting: bone surface rests until a new remodeling cycle begins

Osteolytic metastasesOsteolytic metastases• Tumor cells produce growth factors
that stimulate bone destruction• i.e. RANK ligand
• Osteoclasts are activated and break down bone
• Osteoblasts cannot build bone back fast enough
• Decreased bone density and strength; high risk for fracture

Osteoblastic MetastasisOsteoblastic Metastasis
• Osteoblasts are stimulated by tumors to lay down new bone
• Bone becomes abnormally dense and stiff
• Paradoxically bones are also at risk of breaking

Bone Imaging in MMBone Imaging in MM
• Skeletal radiography is the primary diagnostic test to detect destructive bony lesions in multiple myeloma
• MRI is useful in assessing whether spinal compression fractures are due to a focal mass or from osteopenia due to increased osteolysis
• PET scans can be used to detect soft tissue or bone metastases
