The vicious cycle established between bone associated tumors and bone resorption is the central problem with therapeutic strategies against primary bone tumors and bone metastasis. The bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein family is an important class of ‘histone reading protein’ capable to recognize the N-acetylation of lysine residues on histone tails. BET bromain proteins have recently been described as regulators of MYC expression in various tumors....
