Malignant ascites enhances migratory and invasive properties of ovarian cancer cells with membrane bound IL-6R in vitro.


ABSTRACT: Transcoelomic route is the most common and the earliest route of metastasis, causing the ascites formation in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We demonstrated that interleukin 6 (IL-6) is enriched in the malignant ascites from patients with ovarian cancer, which enhanced invasive properties of EOC cells. Interestingly, the expression of IL-6R on cell membrane of EOC cells correlated with ascites-induced invasion. Selective knockdown of IL-6R or inhibition with IL-6 neutralizing antibody, suppressed the stimulatory effects of ascites on EOC invasion. Moreover, the ascites treatment induced the phosphorylation of JAK2-STAT3 and use of selective inhibitors of JAK2 and STAT3, blocked the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related proteins in parallel with the suppression of EOC invasion. Thus, IL-6/IL-6R mediated JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway could be a promising therapeutic target for anticancer therapy in ovarian cancer patients with ascites.
