The metastatic niche: adapting the foreign soil

Abstract: Preface The ‘Seed and Soil’ hypothesis for metastasis sets forth the concept that a nutritive microenvironment, or niche, is required for disseminating tumour cells to engraft distant sites. This Opinion presents emerging data that support this concept and outlines the potential mechanism and temporal sequence by which changes in tissues distant from the primary tumour occur. To enable improvements in the prognosis of advanced malignancy, early interventions that target both the disseminating seed and the meta… Show more

“…Clinical observations suggest that certain tumors consistently metastasize to particular organs. Paget has explained this phenomenon by the "seed and soil" theory [47,48]; metastases occurs when some tumor cells "seed" only live and grow in a congenial environment "soil" [49]. Peritoneal fibrosis induced by cancer cells may create a congenial environment "soil" for peritoneal metastases of scirrhous gastric carcinoma (Fig.…”

“…Metastasis formation is the worst clinical complication of neoplastic disease, and is the primary cause of mortality in breast carcinoma patients [1]. Notwithstanding the clinical relevance of the metastatic process, the molecular basis of growth advantage, tropism for the secondary site (bones, lungs), and osteolysis are partly known.…”

“…These niches form as a result of factors secreted by tumor and stroma cells, and can either be newly induced or be adaptations of pre-existing physiological niches, such as stem cell niches of hematopoietic organs [1,5]. Thus, the gene signature associated with poor prognosis facilitates the emergence of metastatic cells in the primary tumor, but the specific set of genes associated with bone metastasis seems responsible for the cellular activities necessary for metastatisation [6][7][8].…”

“…Les mécanismes par lesquels les cellules immunitaires, mais aussi les CAF et les cellules endothéliales affectent la progression tumorale sont maintenant mieux connus. De nombreux articles décrivent les effets néfastes de ces cellules capables d'accroître la prolifération et la survie cellulaires, de stimuler l'activité métabolique des cellules tumorales, de les protéger contre le système immunitaire et d'augmenter leur pouvoir invasif et métastatique [2,3,17,41].…”

“…Ce processus requiert un microenvironnement favorable sur le lieu de destination des cellules. Des travaux récents ont pu établir que des facteurs de croissance sécrétés par les tumeurs primaires peuvent rendre certains tissus favorables à l'implantation de cellules tumorales circulantes [17,21,50]. En réponse à ces facteurs solubles, des cellules hématopoïétiques progénitrices et des macrophages se regroupent dans des niches prémétastatiques -précédant l'arrivée des cellules tumorales -créant ainsi un terreau favorable à l'invasion, l'adhésion, la survie et la prolifération des cellules tumorales.…”
