Project description:Enhanced vascular permeability in the pre-metastatic niche facilitates tumor cell extravasation and metastasis. Extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) are pivotal mediators of cancer progression, including induction of vascular permeability. We identify a novel mechanism whereby melanoma and osteosarcoma EVPs (B16F10 and K7M2) enhance endothelial cell permeability, tumor extravasation and lung metastasis.In contrast, EVPs from breast tumors (4T1 and 67NR) elicited only mild vascular permeability, tumor cell extravasation, and metastasis. EVP induced vascular leakiness is observed within 48h following tumor implantation and as early one hour following direct injection of the B16F10 or K7M2 derived EVPs in non-tumor bearing mice. Rather than acting directly on endothelial cells, EVPs activated interstitial macrophages (IMs) anddepletion of IM with a CSF1R antibody significantly reduced vascular leakiness and metastatic potential.Subsequent activation of JAK/STAT signaling in IMs induces IL-6 secretion which in turn induces endothelial permeability.B16F10 and K7M2 EVPs highly expressed ITGα5 compared to breast tumors, and knock down ofintegrin-α5impairs IM signaling, vascular permeability and metastasis. Furthermore, in patients Il-6 expression is elevated in tumor-adjacent IMs compared to distant tissues. Our findings identify a key role for IMs in mediating tumor type-specific EVP-driven vascular permeability and metastasis, offering promising targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:BackgroundHematological metastasis has been recognized as a crucial factor contributing to the high rates of metastasis and mortality observed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Notably, exosomes derived from cancer cells participate in the formation of CRC pre-metastatic niches; however, the mechanisms underlying their effects are largely unknown. While our preliminary research revealed the role of exosome-derived disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) in the early stages of CRC metastasis, the role of exosomal ADAM17 in CRC hematogenous metastasis remains unclear.MethodsIn the present study, we isolated and purified exosomes using ultracentrifugation and identified exosomal proteins through quantitative mass spectrometry. In vitro, co-culture assays were conducted to evaluate the impact of exosomal ADAM17 on the permeability of the blood vessel endothelium. Vascular endothelial cell resistance, the cell index, membrane protein separation, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence were employed to investigate the mechanisms underlying exosomal ADAM17-induced vascular permeability. Additionally, a mouse model was established to elucidate the role of exosomal ADAM17 in the modulation of blood vessel permeability and pre-metastatic niche formation in vivo.ResultsOur clinical data indicated that ADAM17 derived from the circulating exosomes of patients with CRC could serve as a blood-based biomarker for predicting metastasis. The CRC-derived exosomal ADAM17 targeted vascular endothelial cells, thus enhancing vascular permeability by influencing vascular endothelial cadherin cell membrane localization. Moreover, exosomal ADAM17 mediated the formation of a pre-metastatic niche in nude mice by inducing vascular leakage, thereby promoting CRC metastasis. Nonetheless, ADAM17 selective inhibitors effectively reduced CRC metastasis in vivo.ConclusionsOur results suggest that exosomal ADAM17 plays a pivotal role in the hematogenous metastasis of CRC. Thus, this protein may serve as a valuable blood-based biomarker and potential drug target for CRC metastasis intervention.

Project description:Cancer-derived exosomes are considered a major driver of cancer-induced pre-metastatic niche formation at foreign sites, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that miR-25-3p, a metastasis-promoting miRNA of colorectal cancer (CRC), can be transferred from CRC cells to endothelial cells via exosomes. Exosomal miR-25-3p regulates the expression of VEGFR2, ZO-1, occludin and Claudin5 in endothelial cells by targeting KLF2 and KLF4, consequently promotes vascular permeability and angiogenesis. In addition, exosomal miR-25-3p from CRC cells dramatically induces vascular leakiness and enhances CRC metastasis in liver and lung of mice. Moreover, the expression level of miR-25-3p from circulating exosomes is significantly higher in CRC patients with metastasis than those without metastasis. Our work suggests that exosomal miR-25-3p is involved in pre-metastatic niche formation and may be used as a blood-based biomarker for CRC metastasis.

Project description:The disordered growth, invasion and metastasis of cancer are mainly attributed to bidirectional cell-cell interactions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by cancer cells are involved in orchestrating the formation of pre-metastatic niches (PMNs). Tumor-derived EVs mediate bidirectional communication between tumor and stromal cells in local and distant microenvironments. EVs carrying mRNAs, small RNAs, microRNAs, DNA fragments, proteins and metabolites determine metastatic organotropism, enhance angiogenesis, modulate stroma cell phenotypes, restructure the extracellular matrix, induce immunosuppression and modify the metabolic environment of organs. Evidence indicates that EVs educate stromal cells in secondary sites to establish metastasis-supportive microenvironments for seeding tumor cells. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of PMN formation and the underlying mechanisms mediated by EVs. Potential approaches to inhibit cancer metastasis by inhibiting the formation of PMNs are also presented.

Project description:The pre-metastatic niche - the accumulation of aberrant immune cells and extracellular matrix proteins in target organs - primes the initially healthy organ microenvironment and renders it amenable for subsequent metastatic cell colonization. By attracting metastatic cancer cells, mimics of the pre-metastatic niche offer both diagnostic and therapeutic potential. However, deconstructing the complexity of the niche by identifying the interactions between cell populations and the mediatory roles of the immune system, soluble factors, extracellular matrix proteins, and stromal cells has proved challenging. Experimental models need to recapitulate niche-population biology in situ and mediate in vivo tumour-cell homing, colonization and proliferation. In this Review, we outline the biology of the pre-metastatic niche and discuss advances in engineered niche-mimicking biomaterials that regulate the behaviour of tumour cells at an implant site. Such oncomaterials offer strategies for early detection of metastatic events, inhibiting the formation of the pre-metastatic niche, and attenuating metastatic progression.

Project description:Primary tumors can communicate with the liver to establish a microenvironment that favors metastatic colonization prior to dissemination, forming what is termed the "pre-metastatic niche" (PMN). Through diverse signaling mechanisms, distant malignancies can both influence hepatic cells directly as well as recruit immune cells into the PMN. The result is a set of changes within the hepatic tissue that increase susceptibility of tumor cell invasion and outgrowth upon dissemination. Thus, the PMN offers a novel step in the traditional metastatic cascade that could offer opportunities for clinical intervention. The involved signaling molecules also offer promise as biomarkers. Ultimately, while the existence of the hepatic PMN is well-established, continued research effort and use of innovative models are required to reach a functional knowledge of PMN mechanisms that can be further targeted.

Project description:The primed microenvironment of future metastatic sites, called the pre-metastatic niche, is a prerequisite for overt metastasis. However, a mechanistic understanding of the contributions of recruited cells to the niche is hindered by complex in vivo systems. Herein, a microfluidic platform that incorporates endothelial cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds is developed, and the distinct role of recruited monocytes and macrophages in establishing pre-metastatic niches is delineated. It is observed that monocyte-derived matrix metalloproteinase 9 facilitates cancer cell extravasation through destruction of endothelial tight junctions. Furthermore, subsequent cancer cell invasiveness is significantly enhanced. Close examination of ECM structures reveals that cancer cells move within characteristic "microtracks" generated by macrophages, suggesting that macrophages could serve as a compensatory mechanism for the reduced migratory capacity of cancer cells. Thus, the first evidence of monocyte/macrophage-induced remodeling is shown, and these findings will open up new horizons for improving characterization of the pre-metastatic niche and corresponding immunotherapies.

Project description:The metastasis of solid tumours is a vastly complex, dynamic and systemic process involving both primary tumour cells as well as a wide array of stromal and vascular cells. The recruitment and activation of host cells by tumours at both the primary and metastatic sites is crucial for successful metastatic dissemination highlighting the systemic nature of disease progression. The appropriation of distant metastatic sites by primary tumours and the generation of so-called pre-metastatic niches have gained much interest in the last decade complementing the century old 'seed and soil' hypothesis. The idea that tumours are capable of pre-defining future sites of metastasis is both exciting and terrifying as we try to understand the dynamic networks associated with solid tumour metastasis. Exactly how a tumour cell can alter the distant metastatic microenvironment is of great importance and will unlock novel strategies for successfully targeting these processes.
