Enhancement of Lewis lung carcinoma cell migration by prostaglandin E2 produced by macrophages.

چکیده
The role of macrophages in tumor metastasis was examined by using migration of a cloned metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) variant, LLC-C4, out of glass capillary tubes as an in vitro model for dissemination of tumor cells from a primary tumor mass. Macrophages, derived from LLC tumors of C57BL/6 mice or from peritoneal exudates of mice given injections of complete Freund's adjuvant, enhanced tumor cell migration through an indomethacin-sensitive mechanism. Resident peritoneal macrophages did not produce a tumor migration-enhancing activity but could be induced to do so by preincubation with LLC-C4 cells or their culture supernatants. The capacity of macrophages to enhance LLC-C4 migration corresponded to their secretion of prostaglandin E2. Addition of similar concentrations of prostaglandin E2 to the migration medium of LLC-C4 cells enhanced their migration out of the capillary tubes. These results suggest that macrophages, following exposure to tumor cells or their products or following stimulation with complete Freund's adjuvant, secrete elevated amounts of prostaglandin E2 which in turn may enhance tumor dissemination.

Effect of prostaglandin E2-producing nonmetastatic Lewis lung carcinoma cells on the migration of prostaglandin E2-responsive metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma cells.
The role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in directly stimulating metastatic spread by Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells was examined with the use of an in vitro migration model for tumor dissemination. The extent to which cloned metastatic and nonmetastatic LLC cells migrated out of glass capillary tubes in vitro reflected their capacity to form pulmonary metastases in vivo. The addition of PGE2 to m...
متن کاملEicosanoid Profiling in an Orthotopic Model of Lung Cancer Progression by Mass Spectrometry Demonstrates Selective Production of Leukotrienes by Inflammatory Cells of the Microenvironment
Eicosanoids are bioactive lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid(1) (AA), which is released by cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). AA is metabolized through three major pathways, cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LO) and cytochrome P450, to produce a family of eicosanoids, which individually have been shown to have pro- or anti-tumorigenic activities in cancer. However, cancer progress...
متن کاملM2-polarized macrophages promote metastatic behavior of Lewis lung carcinoma cells by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor-C expression
OBJECTIVES Tumor-associated macrophages that generally exhibit an alternatively activated (M2) phenotype have been linked to tumor progression and metastasis. However, the role of M2-polarized macrophages in the growth and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma remains enigmatic. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of M2 macrophages on the proliferation and migration of mouse Lewis lung ...
متن کاملRegulation of tumor-induced myelopoiesis and the associated immune suppressor cells in mice bearing metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma by prostaglandin E2.
The in vitro and in vivo effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and of its stable analogue, 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 (dmPGE2), on myelopoiesis and on the myelopoiesis-associated immune suppressor cell activity of mice bearing metastatic variant Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-C3) tumors are assessed. In vitro studies showed a reduced susceptibility of bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells (CFC) from LLC-C3 tum...
