The role of chemerin and ChemR23 in stimulating the invasion of squamous oesophageal cancer cells

Abstract: Background:Stromal cells, including cancer-associated myofibroblasts (CAMs), are recognised to be determinants of cancer progression, but the mechanisms remain uncertain. The chemokine-like protein, chemerin, is upregulated in oesophageal squamous cancer (OSC) CAMs compared with adjacent tissue myofibroblasts (ATMs). In this study, we hypothesised that chemerin stimulates OSC cell invasion.Methods:Expression of the chemerin receptor, ChemR23, in OSC was examined by immunohistochemistry. The invasion of OSC cel… Show more

“…Dysregulated expression of Chemerin has been correlated with tumor progression in glioma [52], squamous cell carcinoma of oral tongue [28], esophageal cancer [30] and with tumor suppression in melanoma [53]. However, the biological effects of differential expression of Chemerin in tumor and stromal cells in the context of tumor migration have not been sufficiently explored.…”

“…To our knowledge, this is the first report on the role of Chemerin in cSCC cell migration, although Chemerin has been previously reported to promote gastric cancer and esophageal cancer cell invasion via induction of VEGF, MMPs and IL-6 [30, 31]. …”

“…Our lab has recently characterized CMKLR1 as a target overexpressed in breast cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (manuscript in preparation). Increased CMKLR1 expression, chemerin-mediated tumor cell migration and invasion in ESCC were also found by Kumar et al [27]. Likewise, CMKLR1 has been implicated in neuroblastoma proliferation [28], hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis [29] and migration/invasion of gastric cancer [30].…”

“…Although known for its role in inflammation and metabolic regulation for many years, CMKLR1 and its chemokine-like ligand chemerin were only recently recognized as modulators of tumor proliferation and expansion. While other labs have reported overexpression and functional involvement of CMKLR1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, neuroblastoma and gastric cancer [27-30], we have recently found CMKLR1 overexpression in breast cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma and have consequently developed two peptide analogs of chemerin for use in receptor-mediated tumor targeting (manuscript in preparation). These peptide analogs were based on chemerin-9, which has full agonistic activity towards the receptor CMKLR1 and corresponds to the C-terminal nine amino acids of processed chemerin [32].…”

“…Proliferating cells were detected using 5-ethynyl-2 0 -deoxyuridine (EdU) as previously described (Holmberg et al 2012;Kumar et al 2016). Myofibroblasts were synchronized by incubation in serum free (SF) media for 48 h followed by treatment with medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (full medium, FM), or hG17, or fresh SF, and incubation with EdU reagent for up to 24 h. After EdU incorporation cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and processed using Click-iT ™ Alexa Fluor 594 (300 lL) according to the manufacturer's instructions.…”
