Abstract: Bone is the most common metastatic site of advanced prostate cancer(PCa).Various cytokines such as receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL),chemokine families,integrins,etc.in the bone microenvironment and PCa,are involved in bone metastasis of PCa through complex interaction mechanisms.Multiple bone-targeted drugs such as disphosphonate,denosumab,and radiotherapy drugs such as radium-223 have been approved for prevention and treatment of skeletal related events(SREs)caused by PCa bone metastases.This article reviews the biological mechanisms of prostate cancer bone metastasis and the research progression of bone-targeted drugs.

Key words: Prostate cancer, Mechanism of bone metastatic, Bone-targeted drugs
