Bone is the most common site of metastasis, and although low proliferation and immunoediting at the early stage make existing treatment modalities less effective, the microenvironment-inducing behaviour could be a target for early intervention. Here we report on a spatiotemporal coupling interaction between tumour cells and osteoclasts, and named the tumour-associated osteoclast 'tumasteoclast'-a subtype of osteoclasts in bone metastases induced by tumour-migrasome-mediated cytoplasmic transfer. We subsequently propose an in situ decoupling-killing strategy in which tetracycline-modified nanoliposomes encapsulating sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydrogen phosphate are designed to specifically release high concentrations of hydrogen phosphate ions triggered by tumasteoclasts, which depletes calcium ions and forms calcium-phosphorus crystals.
