CD74 Promotes a Pro-Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment by Inducing S100A8 and S100A9 Secretion in Pancreatic Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer with a poor prognosis and low survival rates. The prognostic and predictive biomarkers of PDAC are still largely unknown. The receptor CD74 was recently identified as a regulator of oncogenic properties in various cancers. However, the precise molecular mechanism of CD74 action in PDAC remains little understood. We investigated the role of CD74 by silencing CD74 in the pancreatic cancer cell line Capan-1. CD74 knockdown led to reductions in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and increased apoptosis. Moreover, silencing CD74 resulted in the decreased expression and secretion of S100A8 and S100A9. An indirect co-culture of fibroblasts and tumor cells revealed that fibroblasts exposed to conditioned media from CD74 knockdown cells exhibited a reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines, suggesting a role of CD74 in influencing cytokine secretion in the tumor microenvironment. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the critical role of CD74 in regulating the oncogenic properties of pancreatic cancer cells and its influence on the expression and secretion of S100A8 and S100A9. Taken together, these findings indicate CD74 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Project description:IntroductionThe objective was to evaluate the changes in S100A8 S100A9, and their complex (S100A8/S100A9) in cartilage during the onset of osteoarthritis (OA) as opposed to inflammatory arthritis.MethodsS100A8 and S100A9 protein localization were determined in antigen-induced inflammatory arthritis in mice, mouse femoral head cartilage explants stimulated with interleukin-1 (IL-1), and in surgically-induced OA in mice. Microarray expression profiling of all S100 proteins in cartilage was evaluated at different times after initiation of degradation in femoral head explant cultures stimulated with IL-1 and surgically-induced OA. The effect of S100A8, S100A9 or the complex on the expression of aggrecan (Acan), collagen II (Col2a1), disintegrin and metalloproteases with thrombospondin motifs (Adamts1, Adamts 4 &Adamts 5), matrix metalloproteases (Mmp1, Mmp3, Mmp13 &Mmp14) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (Timp1, Timp2 &Timp3), by primary adult ovine articular chondrocytes was determined using real time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).ResultsStimulation with IL-1 increased chondrocyte S100a8 and S100a9 mRNA and protein levels. There was increased chondrocyte mRNA expression of S100a8 and S100a9 in early but not late mouse OA. However, loss of the S100A8 staining in chondrocytes occurred as mouse OA progressed, in contrast to the positive reactivity for both S100A8 and S100A9 in chondrocytes in inflammatory arthritis in mice. Homodimeric S100A8 and S100A9, but not the heterodimeric complex, significantly upregulated chondrocyte Adamts1, Adamts4 and Adamts 5, Mmp1, Mmp3 and Mmp13 gene expression, while collagen II and aggrecan mRNAs were significantly decreased.ConclusionsChondrocyte derived S100A8 and S100A9 may have a sustained role in cartilage degradation in inflammatory arthritis. In contrast, while these proteins may have a role in initiating early cartilage degradation in OA by upregulating MMPs and aggrecanases, their reduced expression in late stages of OA suggests they do not have an ongoing role in cartilage degradation in this non-inflammatory arthropathy.
