Influence of hypoxia and tumour-conditioned medium on endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression in vitro.
Anticancer Research 2002 March
BACKGROUND: Cell adhesion molecule expression by tumour endothelium is involved in the efficacy of several cancer therapies. This study investigated the effect of tumour microenvironmental conditions, i.e. reduced oxygenation and tumour-conditioned medium (TCM), on the expression of adhesion molecules by HUVECs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: E-selectin (CD62-E), VCAM-1 (CD106) and PECAM-1 (CD31) were measured using an ELISA assay. Reduced oxygen tension (approximately 0%, 1% vs. 20%) and the presence of TCM from human breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 was investigated following the treatment of HUVECs with TNFalpha.
RESULTS: E-selectin (peak at 4 hours) and VCAM-1 (peak at 24 hours) expression were significantly increased by TNFalpha but unchanged by reduced oxygenation. TCM significantly attenuated E-selectin (71%), VCAM-1 (74%) and PECAM (62%) response to TNFalpha.
CONCLUSION: Tumour-secreted factors have a greater inhibitory action than reduced oxygen tension on HUVECs adhesion molecule expression induced by TNFalpha. Reduced expression of adhesion molecules may limit cancer therapies that mediate their action by host cell infiltration.
