Gr-1+CD11b+ cells facilitate Lewis lung cancer recurrence by enhancing neovasculature after local irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Studies have shown that bone marrow-derived cells play an important role in tumor recurrence after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we examined the relationship between the accumulation of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells and tumor recurrence after irradiation in tumor-bearing mice. By transplanting bone marrow cells into whole body-irradiated mice depleted of bone marrow, we assessed the role of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells in lung carcinoma models after local irradiation (LI). 20 Gy local irradiation could recruit CD11b+CXCR4+ cells into the irradiated tissues, and the recruited CD11b+CXCR4+ cells could promote tumor recurrence. Further 6 Gy whole body irradiation (WBI6Gy) could decrease tumor recurrence by inhibiting the accumulation of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells and then suppressing tumor vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Our results suggest that the accumulation of CD11b+Gr-1+ cells promote tumor re-growth after local irradiation by enhancing tumor neovascularization, and low dose of whole body irradiation or irradiation of enlarged spleen may provide a new alternative for anti-angiogenesis therapies.

Implantable Bioresponsive Hydrogel Prevents Local Recurrence of Breast Cancer by Enhancing Radiosensitivity.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Patients are often concerned about regional recurrence after breast cancer surgery. Radiotherapy plays a vital role in reducing recurrence and prolonging the survival of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery and high-risk mastectomy. However, 8-15% of patients still have disease progression due to radiation resistance. Therefore, new strategies for combination radiotherapy sensitization must be investigated. In this study, an implantable drug loading system, sunitinib nanoparticles @ matrix metalloproteinases -response hydrogel (NSMRH), uses enzyme-sensitive hydrogel as a carrier to load sunitinib nanoparticles, was identified. The releasing profile demonstrated that sunitinib nanoparticles may be continuously released from the hydrogels. Functional experiments revealed that, when paired with NSMRH, radiation may significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Further animal experiments showed that NSMRH combined with radiotherapy could more effectively control the recurrence of subcutaneous xenograft tumors, prolong the survival time, and have no obvious toxicity in nude mice. Finally, by studying the molecular mechanism of NSMRH, it was hypothesized that in breast cancer cells, NSMRH cooperated with sensitized radiotherapy, mainly due to significantly blocking the G2/M phase, reducing the DNA repair efficiency, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, promoting apoptosis, and reversing the abnormal expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) after radiotherapy. These findings suggest that NSMRH's radiation sensitization and anti-tumor activity may aid in the development of a novel method in future clinical applications.

Mifepristone inhibits hepatoma growth by enhancing the GR-HSP60-survivin interaction to facilitate survivin degradation.

Project description:Silencing of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) suppresses the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Mifepristone inhibits HSP60 mRNA expression in Chlamydophila-infected epithelial cells. The aim of this study was to determine whether mifepristone could inhibit the growth of HCC cells by affecting the functions of HSP60. The effect of mifepristone on cell viability was examined by flow cytometry and a cell proliferation assay. Protein-protein interactions were examined using the immunoprecipitation assay. The anti-tumor effect of mifepristone was evaluated using a xenograft model. Our results indicated that mifepristone induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and early-stage apoptosis in HCC cells. Instead of reducing the total amount of HSP60, mifepristone induced the release of mitochondrial HSP60 into the cytosol by causing a loss of ΔΨm, thereby enhancing glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-HSP60-survivin complex formation as well as survivin degradation. Animal models have confirmed the growth inhibitory effects of mifepristone on HCC, including changes in the abundance of HSP60 in mitochondria and cytosol, decreased survivin and Ki-67-positive cells, as well as increased cell apoptosis. In conclusion, the inhibition of HCC growth by mifepristone may be achieved by altering the subcellular distribution of HSP60 to enhance the formation of cytosolic GR-HSP60-survivin complexes in the cells, leading to the degradation of survivin.

Hybridization can facilitate species invasions, even without enhancing local adaptation.

Project description:The founding population in most new species introductions, or at the leading edge of an ongoing invasion, is likely to be small. Severe Allee effects-reductions in individual fitness at low population density-may then result in a failure of the species to colonize, even if the habitat could support a much larger population. Using a simulation model for plant populations that incorporates demography, mating systems, quantitative genetics, and pollinators, we show that Allee effects can potentially be overcome by transient hybridization with a resident species or an earlier colonizer. This mechanism does not require the invocation of adaptive changes usually attributed to invasions following hybridization. We verify our result in a case study of sequential invasions by two plant species where the outcrosser Cakile maritima has replaced an earlier, inbreeding, colonizer Cakile edentula (Brassicaceae). Observed historical rates of replacement are consistent with model predictions from hybrid-alleviated Allee effects in outcrossers, although other causes cannot be ruled out.

CXCL17-derived CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells contribute to lung metastasis of breast cancer through platelet-derived growth factor-BB.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Metastasis is the major cause of death from breast cancer. Colonization and adaption of metastatic cells in distant organs is a rate-limiting step of the cancer spreading. The underlying mechanisms responsible for the colonization of breast cancer to lung metastatic niches are not fully understood. METHODS:Specific gene contributions to lung metastasis were identified by comparing gene profiles of 4T1 tumors metastasizing to various organs via microarray. The oncogenic properties CXCL17 were examined by in vivo spontaneous metastasis mouse model. The chemotactic activity of CXCL17 on CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) was examined by both in vitro and in vivo models. The therapeutic effects of MDSC depletion and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) inhibition were examined by orthotic models. RESULTS:Here, we demonstrate that breast cancer cells secrete CXCL17, which increases the accumulation of CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs in the lungs. Metastatic lung-infiltrating CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs induce angiogenesis in the lungs and facilitate cancer extravasation and survival that ultimately promote lung metastases. CXCL17 increases CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs to express PDGF-BB, which not only contributes to CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSC-mediated angiogenesis in the lung metastatic niche, but is also involved in the colonization of breast cancer. Consequently, both CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSC depletion and PDGF receptor inhibitor effectively prevents CXCL17-driven lung metastasis in breast cancer. More importantly, patients with high levels of CXCL17 have shorter distant metastasis-free and overall survival rates, indicators of poor prognosis. CONCLUSION:Our study reveals that MDSCs derived by CXCL17 contribute to the establishment of a lung metastatic niche by PDGF-BB secretion and provide a rationale for development of CXCL17 or PDGF-BB antagonists to inhibit or prevent lung metastasis in cases of breast cancer.

Gr-1+CD11b+ myeloid cells tip the balance of immune protection to tumor promotion in the premetastatic lung.

Project description:The mechanisms by which a primary tumor affects a selected distant organ before tumor cell arrival remain to be elucidated. This report shows that Gr-1+CD11b+ cells are significantly increased in lungs of mice bearing mammary adenocarcinomas before tumor cell arrival. In the premetastatic lungs, these immature myeloid cells significantly decrease IFN-gamma production and increase proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, they produce large quantities of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and promote vascular remodeling. Deletion of MMP9 normalizes aberrant vasculature in the premetastatic lung and diminishes lung metastasis. The production and activity of MMP9 is selectively restricted to lungs and organs with a large number of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells. Our work reveals a novel protumor mechanism for Gr-1+CD11b+ cells that changes the premetastatic lung into an inflammatory and proliferative environment, diminishes immune protection, and promotes metastasis through aberrant vasculature formation. Thus, inhibition of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells could normalize the premetastatic lung environment, improve host immunosurveillance, and inhibit tumor metastasis.

Gr-1+CD11b+ cells are responsible for tumor promoting effect of TGF-? in breast cancer progression.

Project description:One great challenge in our understanding of TGF-? cancer biology and the successful application of TGF-?-targeted therapy is that TGF-? works as both a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter. The underlying mechanisms for its functional change remain to be elucidated. Using 4T1 mammary tumor model that shares many characteristics with human breast cancer, particularly its ability to spontaneously metastasize to the lungs, we demonstrate that Gr-1+CD11b+ cells or myeloid derived suppressor cells are important mediators in TGF-? regulation of mammary tumor progression. Depletion of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells diminished the antitumor effect of TGF-? neutralization. Two mechanisms were involved: first, treatment with TGF-? neutralization antibody (1D11) significantly decreased the number of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells in tumor tissues and premetastatic lung. This is mediated through increased Gr-1+CD11b+ cell apoptosis. In addition, 1D11 treatment significantly decreased the expression of Th2 cytokines and Arginase 1. Interestingly, the number and property of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells in peripheral blood/draining lymph nodes correlated with tumor size and metastases in response to 1D11 treatment. Our data suggest that the efficacy of TGF-? neutralization depends on the presence of Gr-1+CD11b+ cells, and these cells could be good biomarkers for TGF-?-targeted therapy.

TLR4/MyD88-induced CD11b+Gr-1 int F4/80+ non-migratory myeloid cells suppress Th2 effector function in the lung.

Project description:In humans, environmental exposure to a high dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) protects from allergic asthma, the immunological underpinnings of which are not well understood. In mice, exposure to a high LPS dose blunted house dust mite-induced airway eosinophilia and T-helper 2 (Th2) cytokine production. Although adoptively transferred Th2 cells induced allergic airway inflammation in control mice, they were unable to do so in LPS-exposed mice. LPS promoted the development of a CD11b(+)Gr1(int)F4/80(+) lung-resident cell resembling myeloid-derived suppressor cells in a Toll-like receptor 4 and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)-dependent manner that suppressed lung dendritic cell (DC)-mediated reactivation of primed Th2 cells. LPS effects switched from suppressive to stimulatory in MyD88(-/-) mice. Suppression of Th2 effector function was reversed by anti-interleukin-10 (IL-10) or inhibition of arginase 1. Lineage(neg) bone marrow progenitor cells could be induced by LPS to develop into CD11b(+)Gr1(int)F4/80(+)cells both in vivo and in vitro that when adoptively transferred suppressed allergen-induced airway inflammation in recipient mice. These data suggest that CD11b(+)Gr1(int)F4/80(+) cells contribute to the protective effects of LPS in allergic asthma by tempering Th2 effector function in the tissue.

Delivery of eupenifeldin via polymer-coated surgical buttresses prevents local lung cancer recurrence.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Unfortunately, high recurrence rates and poor survival remain despite surgical resection and conventional chemotherapy. Local drug delivery systems are a promising intervention for lung cancer treatment with the potential for improved efficacy with reduced systemic toxicity. Here, we describe the development of a chemotherapy-loaded polymer buttress, to be implanted along the surgical margin at the time of tumor resection, for achieving local and prolonged release of a new anticancer agent, eupenifeldin. We prepared five different formulations of buttresses with varying amounts of eupenifeldin, and additional external empty polymer coating layers (or thicknesses) to modulate drug release. The in vitro eupenifeldin release profile depends on the number of external coating layers with the formulation of the greatest thickness demonstrating a prolonged release approaching 90 days. Similarly, the long-term cytotoxicity of eupenifeldin-loaded buttress formulations against murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) and human lung carcinoma (A549) cell lines mirrors the eupenifeldin release profiles and shows a prolonged cytotoxic effect. Eupenifeldin-loaded buttresses significantly decrease local tumor recurrence in vivo and increase disease-free survival in a lung cancer resection model.
