Expression of vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor by melanoma cells increases tumor growth, angiogenesis, and experimental metastasis.

Abstract:

:Vascular permeability factor (VPF)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic cytokine expressed by many human and animal tumors. Hypoxia often up-regulates VPF/VEGF expression further. To better define the role of VPF/VEGF in tumor biology, we screened tumorigenic lines for those expressing minimal constitutive and hypoxia-inducible VPF/VEGF. Human melanoma SK-MEL-2 cells best fit these criteria and formed small, poorly vascularized tumors in immunodeficient mice. We transfected SK-MEL-2 cells stably with sense or antisense mouse VPF/VEGF cDNA or with vector alone. Cells transfected with sense VPF/VEGF (V+) expressed and secreted large amounts of mouse VPF/VEGF and formed well-vascularized tumors with hyperpermeable blood vessels and minimal necrosis in nude/SCID mice. Antisense-transfected VPF/VEGF (V-) cells expressed reduced constitutive VPF/VEGF and no detectable mouse VPF/VEGF, and formed small, minimally vascularized tumors exhibiting extensive necrosis. Vector-alone transfectants (N1 cells) behaved like parental cells. V+ cells formed numerous lung tumor colonies in SCID mice, approximately 50-fold more than N1 cells, whereas V- cells formed few or none. These experiments demonstrate that VPF/VEGF promotes melanoma growth by stimulating angiogenesis and that constitutive VPF/VEGF expression dramatically promotes tumor colonization in the lung.
