The transcriptome profile of the stomach fibroblasts with high-metastatic or low-metastatic gastric cancer cell.

ABSTRACT: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have an important role in the tumor progression. CAFs are heterogeneous, and its subpopulation with distinct functions have been regarded as the major obstacle to CAF targeting therapy. However, it is still unclear how cancer cells mediate CAF subpopulations and create preferable tumor microenvironment for their metastasis. Because the CAF subpopulations are likely depending on the cancer cell subtypes and aggressiveness, it is conceivable the possibility that high-metastatic cancer cells have the capacity to induce the appropriate CAF subpopulation compared with low-metastatic cancer cells. To make it clear, by using the metastatic cancer cell line models of diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC), we cultured the immortalized stomach fibroblasts with high-metastatic and low-metastatic DGC cell lines. And then, we compared the transcriptome profile of them by microarray analysis. It has shown that high-metastatic DGC cells can induce at least two types of CAF-like phenotypes: myofibroblastic feature and chemokine producing feature. We also found that these two features of fibroblasts were basically distributed in the different fibroblasts. These data indicated that high-metastatic DGC cells form the distinct CAF subpopulations.
