Abstract BACKGROUND:Immunosuppressed individuals undergoing organ transplantation are at increased risk of recurrences of initial cancers, although how immunosuppressive therapy increases early cancer metastasis remains unclear.
METHODS:The metastatic fate of luciferase-expressing rat metastatic colon cancer cells (luc-RCN-H4) injected intravenously into the liver of syngeneic and allogeneic rats was examined in the presence of the immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA) by in vivo luminescent technique. With respect to potential tumor-progressing factors, contribution of chemokine receptors and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 to early metastasis was evaluated using their specific signaling inhibitors.
RESULTS:F344 rats injected in the liver with luc-RCN-H4 cells did not always exhibit the formation of tumors and showed a dormant state as long as 60 days after inoculation without CsA. However, CsA released early luc-RCN-H4 cells from dormancy within 2 weeks at nearly 100% in liver and preferentially promoted metastasis to the lymph nodes (approximately 40%). A similar dissemination occurred even in minor histocompatibility complex-disparate hosts. As a tumor-progressing factor, RCN-H4 cells aberrantly expressed chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7. The chemokine receptor (CXC) R4-specific antagonist AMD3100 decreased early metastasis of luc-RCN-H4 cells in rats with ischemic liver conditions (P<0.05), but CsA treatment did not enhance early adhesion. Use of CsA was able to facilitate TGF-beta1 expression and the subsequent TGF-beta-mediated random migration was blocked by the use of the specific signaling inhibitor SB431542 in vitro.
CONCLUSIONS:Whereas the chemokine receptor expression by cancer cells is implicated with early organotropic dissemination even under CsA-mediated immune suppression, rather, CsA enhances the late-phase progression after tumor adhesion through TGF-beta1 expression.
