MCF-7 Cell Derived Soluble Factors Define Growth of Vascular and Lymphatic Endothelial Cells: Modulatory Role of miR193a
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis plays a key role in promoting tumor growth and breast cancer progression as well as metastasis. Active angiogenic process within the tumor tissue is known to promote cancer/tumor growth via nutrient supply, moreover, soluble molecules secreted by lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs) promotes tumor growth. Hence is feasible that paracrine factors generated by breast cancer cells play a role in regulating tumor neovascularization by lymphatic and vascular ECs. Here using cultured VECs and LECs assessed the paracrine impact of MCF-7 breast cancer derived soluble factors on LEC and VEC growth (cell number), gene expression (micro array) and angiogenic proteins (protein array). Moreover, we explored the modulatory actions of miR193 on LEC and VEC growth driven by MCF-7 derived conditioned medium (MCF7-CM). We demonstrate that MCF7-CM differentially modulates VEC and LEC growth, i.e. induces VEC growth and inhibits LEC growth. Moreover, the growth actions of MCF7-CM were accompanied with differential modulation VEC and LEC growth regulatory genes, that were further altered by miR193 a pretreatment of MCF7 cells. Our findings provide in-depth analysis of MCF7-CM altered genes relevant for angiogenesis and lymphogenesis. The fact that vascular capillaries support growth and lymphatic capillaries play a role counteracting cancer growth (kill cancer cells), together with our observation in VECs and LECs, suggests that MCF-7 breast cancer cells differentially modulate vascular and lymphatic growth to facilitate their survival and growth. Since miR193a abrogates the effects of MCF7-CM, it may be an effective therapeutic tool against breast cancer.
