Bone Marrow CX3CL1/Fractalkine is a New Player of the Pro-Angiogenic Microenvironment in Multiple Myeloma Patients.

ABSTRACT: C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1)/fractalkine is a chemokine released after cleavage by two metalloproteases, ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10 (ADAM10) and ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17), involved in inflammation and angiogenesis in the cancer microenvironment. The role of the CX3CL1/ C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1) axis in the multiple myeloma (MM) microenvironment is still unknown. Firstly, we analyzed bone marrow (BM) plasma levels of CX3CL1 in 111 patients with plasma cell disorders including 70 with active MM, 25 with smoldering myeloma (SMM), and 16 with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). We found that BM CX3CL1 levels were significantly increased in MM patients compared to SMM and MGUS and correlated with BM microvessel density. Secondly, we explored the source of CX3CL1 in MM and BM microenvironment cells. Primary CD138⁺ cells did not express CXC3L1 but up-regulated its production by endothelial cells (ECs) through the involvement of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). Lastly, we demonstrated the presence of CX3CR1 on BM CD14⁺CD16⁺ monocytes of MM patients and on ECs, but not on MM cells. The role of CX3CL1 in MM-induced angiogenesis was finally demonstrated in both in vivo chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane and in vitro angiogenesis assays. Our data indicate that CX3CL1, present at a high level in the BM of MM patients, is a new player of the MM microenvironment involved in MM-induced angiogenesis.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a lethal B cell neoplasm characterized by clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and remains incurable due to disease relapse and drug resistance. Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are emerging as playing active functions that can support myeloma cell growth and survival. The aim of this study is to investigate myeloma-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) interaction and the impact of such interactions on the pathogenesis of MM using in vitro co-culture assay. Here we provide evidence that MM cell up-regulated MSCs to express PPAR-γ and pushes MSCs differentiation toward adipocytes at the expense of osteoblasts in co-culture manner. The increased BMAs can effectively enhance MM cell to proliferation, migration, and chemoresistance via cell-cell contact and/or cytokines release regulated by PPAR-γ signal pathway. This effect was partially reversed in medium containing PPAR-γ antagonist G3335 and indicated that G3335 distorts the maturation of MSC-derived adipocytes and cytokines release by adipocytes through inhibition of PPAR-γ, a key transcriptional factor for the activation of adipogenesis, or cell to cell contact, or both. In meantime, we observed higher expression of adipocyte differentiation associated genes DLK1, DGAT1, FABP4, and FASN both in MSCs and MSC derived adipocytes, but the osteoblast differentiation-associated gene ALP was down regulated in MSCs. These finding mean that direct consequence of MM/MSC interaction that play a role in MM pathogenesis. Consistent with those in vitro results, our primary clinical observation also showed that bone marrow samples from MM patients had significantly higher bone adiposity in comparison with controls and the number of adipocytes decreased in those who were response to anti-MM therapy. Our finding suggested that BMAs may have an important contribution to MM progression, particularly in drugs resistant of MM cells, and plays an important contribution in MM bone disease and treatment failure, but more clinical studies are needed to confirm its role.
