Prostaglandin production in mouse mammary tumour cells confers invasive growth potential by inducing hepatocyte growth factor in stromal fibroblasts

Abstract: SummaryInteractions between stromal and mammary tumour cells play a crucial role in determining the malignant behaviour of tumour cells. Although MMT mouse mammary tumour cells do not produce hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), addition of conditioned medium (CM) from MMT cells to cultures of human fibroblasts derived from skin and breast tissues stimulated the production of HGF, thereby indicating that MMT cells secrete an inducing factor for HGF. This HGF-inducing factor, purified from MMT-derived CM, proved to … Show more

“…Simultaneously DCs undergo a process of maturation by up-regulation of costimulatory molecules while migrating to lymphoid tissues. Several studies have shown that PGE 2 promotes invasion of a variety of cancer cells, such as lung, breast, and colorectal carcinoma cells (38,40,41,53,54). Interestingly, we found that PGE 2 decreased the migratory capacity of immature DC through the ECM, thus depending on the cell type, PGE 2 can act either to promote or inhibit migration.…”

“…Transcription of the HGF gene is well known to be stimulated by substances that increase cyclic AMP, including PGE 2 (63). It is therefore likely that this ability of HGF to promote PGE 2 synthesis is part of a positive feedback loop that results in amplification of…”
