Interleukin-32 Increases Human Gastric Cancer Cell Invasion Associated with Tumor Progression and Metastasis

Abstract: Purpose: The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a novel tumor marker highly expressed in various human carcinomas, including gastric cancer. However, its effects on prognosis of patients with gastric cancer and cancer metastasis are virtually unknown at present. The main aim of this study was to explore the clinical significance of IL-32 in gastric cancer and further elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying IL-32-mediated migration and invasion.Experimental Design: Gastric cancer cells wit… Show more

“…In another study, IL-32 levels were found to be elevated in gastritis tissues and GC tissues compared to those in healthy gastric mucosa [38]. Tsai et al concluded that IL-32 expression was higher in 48 of 66 (74 %) GC tissues than that in paired noncancerous tissues (p<0.001) [28]. Fukamachi et al reported that tissues with colon, gastric, and renal cancers showed increased IL-32 expression compared to tissues from non-tumorous regions of the same patients [39].…”

“…Similarly, Tsai et al reported that IL-32 was significantly upregulated in GC and high expression of IL-32 in GC was associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. They suggested that IL-32 was involved in cell migration and invasion in GC and IL-32 was significantly increased in patients with lymph node metastasis (p=0.005) [28]. After investigating the role of IL-32 expression in lung cancer, Sorrentino et al concluded that IL-32 was overexpressed mainly in advanced stage lung cancers and patients with IL-32-positive cancers developed lymph node metastases more readily.…”

“…In clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients, IL-32 overexpression was associated with disease progression and poor overall survival, indicating that IL-32 may be a novel prognostic factor for predicting outcomes in this disease [26]. Similarly, IL-32 has been reported as a poor prognostic marker for gastric cancer [27,28]. Using the lung cancer A549 cell line, IL-32 inhibition reduced cell viability, migration and invasion, whereas IL-32 overexpression increased migration and invasion, indicating that this protein participates in the malignant phenotype of lung cancer cells [24].…”

“…In addition, IL32 stimulates the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and thus has an indirect role in angiogenesis (24,25).…”
