Background: Metastasis is an important factor of high mortality in ovarian cancer. Neutrophils are involved in multiple pathologic mechanisms of cancer,including invasion and metastasis. However, the relationship of neutrophils and invasion and metastasis in ovarian cancer is unclear,as well as the exact mechanism.
Methods:To verify the relationship of neutrophils and invasion and metastasis in ovarian cancer,we tested the expression of CD11b in 24 groups of benign and malignant ovarian tumor tissues.And then,we tested the expression of CD11b,CXCL8,and CXCR1 in 16 cases of ovarian cancer,including primary lesions, metastatic lesions and adjacent carcinoma tissues.We successfully build tumor associated neutrophils research model (N1 and N2) and prove that N2-neutrophils can promote the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer. Next,we screened the significantly changed MAPK signaling pathway by high-throughput sequencing. And then confirmed this conclusion by molecular biology experiments.
Results:The expression of CD11b was significantly higher in malignant tumor than benign tumor tissues tested by western blot and Immunohistochemistry.The expression of CD11b,CXCL8 and CXCR1 is highest in ovarian cancer
metastases ,followed by the primary lessions, and then the adjacent carcinoma tissues tested by PCR and WB methods.We proved that N2-neutrophils can promote the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer by transwell assay.Forthermore,we detected the related indicators of metastasis including MMP-2,MMP-9,E-Cadherin,N-cadherin and Vimentin by PCR and WB methods.Next,we screened the significantly changed MAPK signaling pathway by High-throughput sequencing through comparing ovarian cancer cells before and after co-cultured with N2-neutrophils. At last,we found the key gene P38 of MAPK signaling pathway by molecular biology experiments.
Conclusions: N2-neutrophils promote the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer by Upregulating MAPK signaling pathway, find a key gene P38.
