Tumor lymphangiogenesis and metastatic spread-new players begin to emerge.

Abstract:

:The metastatic spread of tumor cells is the most lethal aspect of cancer and can occur via various routes, including the lymphatic vasculature. Studies of tumor models in animals and clinicopathological data have indicated that growth of lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) in the vicinity of solid tumors may contribute to lymphatic metastasis. Research over the past 5 years has identified a range of lymphangiogenic growth factors that could conceivably play a role in promoting tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis. The most extensively studied signaling system that promotes lymphangiogenesis in tumors involves the secreted lymphangiogenic proteins vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and VEGF-D, and their cognate receptor on lymphatic endothelium VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3). More recent studies have identified other signaling molecules that can also promote lymphangiogenesis in vivo, including hepatocyte growth factor and members of the fibroblast growth factor, angiopoietin, platelet-derived growth factor and insulin-like growth factor families of secreted proteins. This article provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms that control lymphangiogenic signaling, emphasizing the more recently identified lymphangiogenic growth factors and the roles they may play in cancer biology. Molecular approaches for inhibiting lymphangiogenic signaling in cancer, designed to restrict tumor metastasis, are also examined.
