Aberrant Presentation of HPA-Reactive Carbohydrates Implies Selectin-Independent Metastasis Formation in Human Prostate Cancer

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the impact of prostate cancer cell surface glycosylation as part of the tumor cellendothelial cell interaction in prostate cancer metastasis.Experimental Design: Glycosyltransferase expression was profiled in metastasis-derived prostate cancer cell lines and compared with primary epithelium. Prostate cancer cells were examined for HPA-and selectinbinding and adhesion to endothelium. Spontaneous metastasis xenograft models were established to test the lectin HPA-binding sites as a marker… Show more

“…Human cancer cells were recognized by their characteristically large, basophilic, and polymorphic nuclei, which were clearly distinguishable from the smaller nuclei of mouse cells. The analysis was performed by two investigators blinded to the treatment, with a particular focus on the distinction of intrastromal micrometastases and intravascular tumor cells, which were analyzed as described before …”

“…At this initial stage, the experimental setup was to inject tumor cells from different human cancer cell lines s.c. into immunodeficient mice and to terminate the experiment when the s.c. tumor reached around 1.5 cm 3 . By using quantitative PCR for human-specific DNA sequences (Alu-PCR), we indeed observed variable metastatic cell loads in the murine BM depending on the respective cell line [9,10,18,20]. This methodology was used to test whether MDA-MB-231(SA) cells have an increased bone-metastatic potential compared to wild-type MDA-MB-231 cells.…”

“…In our initial experiments, we injected human cancer cells of different cell lines (PC-3, VCaP, DU4475) s.c. into immunodeficient mice (xenograft) and sacrificed the mice as soon as the s.c. xenograft tumors were about 1.5 cm 3 . At this stage, we determined the metastatic cell load in the BM by means of human-specific genome sequences quantified by Alu-PCR ( Figure 1B) and detected rather low cell numbers in the BM [9,10]. This approach was also used in an additional model to compare the spontaneous BM metastasis capacity of wild-type MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and the "bone-seeking" subline MDA-MB-231(SA) [11,12].…”
