- Abstract
- Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) represent a major component of the tumor microenvironment and interplay with cancer cells by secreting cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins. When estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with the CAF-conditioned medium (CAF-CM), Akt and STAT3 involved in cell proliferation and survival were activated through phosphorylation. CAFs secrete fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), thereby stimulating breast cancer cell progression. Akt activation induced by CAF-CM in MDA-MB-231 cells was abolished when FGF2-neutralizing antibody was added. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells directly with FGF2 enhanced the phosphorylation of Akt and the FGF receptor (FGFR) substrate, FRS2a. These events were abrogated by siRNA-mediated silencing of FGFR1. In a xenograft mouse model, co-injection of MDA-MB-231 cells with activated fibroblasts expressing FGF2 dramatically enhanced activation of Akt. Stable knockdown of FGFR1 blunted Akt phosphorylation in xenograft tumors. MDA-MB-231 cells co-cultured with CAFs or directly stimulated with FGF2 exhibited enhanced nuclear localization of FGFR1. Notably, FGF2 stimulation produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in MDA-MB-231 cells, and FGF2-induced nuclear accumulation of FGFR1 was abrogated by the ROS scavenging agent, N-acetylcysteine.
