Association of chemokine and chemokine receptor expression with the invasion and metastasis of lung carcinoma.

Abstract：

:The chemokine system has been reported to be utilized and manipulated by tumor cells in order to promote local tumor growth and distant dissemination. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of three chemokine ligand-receptor axes in lung carcinoma tissues. Tumor and healthy normal tissue samples were obtained from 120 lung carcinoma patients following surgical resection. Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used in order to identify the protein and messenger (m)RNA expression of chemokines, including chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)12/stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1, CXCL8/interleukin (IL)-8, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL)19 and CCL21, and the corresponding chemokine receptors, chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)4, CXCR1, CXCR2 and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor (CCR)7, respectively. The results revealed that compared with the normal lung tissues, lung carcinoma tissues expressed significantly higher mRNA levels of CXCL12/SDF-1, CXCR4, CXCL8/IL-8, CXCR2, CCL19 and CCR7 (P<0.01). In four histological subtypes, adenocarcinoma presented dominant expression of CXCR4, CXCR2, CXCL8/IL-8 and CCL19 (P<0.05). In addition, it was demonstrated that tumor staging was inversely correlated with chemokine receptor CCR7 and CXCR2 mRNA expression as well as positively correlated with CXCL12/SDF-1, CXCL8/IL-8 and CCL19 mRNA levels (P<0.05). Lymph node metastasis presented a positive correlation with CXCR4, CXCR2 and CXCL8/IL-8 expression and a negative correlation with CCL19 and CCR7 expression (P<0.05). Furthermore, vascular invasion was more prevalent in patients with higher expression levels of CXCR4, CCR7 or CCL19 (P<0.01). In conclusion, these data suggested that the ligand-receptor interaction of CXCL8-CXCR2, CXCL12-CXCR4 and CCL19-CCR7 may be involved in the tumorigenesis of lung carcinoma. Higher expression levels of chemokines and lower expression of chemokine receptors indicated poor tumor staging. The CXC chemokine receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR2, promoted lymphatic metastasis through the activation of their specific ligands, while CCL19 and its receptor CCR7 had an essential role in hematogenous metastasis of lung carcinoma.
