We used allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and a mouse multistage cutaneous carcinogenesis model to probe recruitment of bone marrow-derived epithelial cells (BMDECs) in skin tumors initiated with the carcinogen, dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanolyphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). BMDECs clustered in the lesional epithelium, expressed cytokeratins, proliferated, and stratified. We detected cytokeratin induction in plastic-adherent bone marrow cells (BMCs) cultured in the presence of filter-separated keratinocytes (KCs) and bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5). Lineage-depleted BMCs migrated towards High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein and epidermal KCs in ex vivo invasion assays. Naive female mice receiving BMTs from DMBA-treated donors developed benign and malignant lesions after TPA promotion alone. We conclude that BMDECs contribute to the development of papillomas and dysplasia, demonstrating a systemic contribution to these lesions. Furthermore, carcinogen-exposed BMCs can initiate benign and malignant lesions upon tumor promotion. Ultimately, these findings may suggest targets for treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers.
我们使用异基因骨髓移植(BMT)和小鼠多阶段皮肤致癌模型,探究在二甲基苯并[a]蒽(DMBA)引发的皮肤肿瘤和 12-O-十四烷酰佛波醇-13-乙酸酯(TPA)促进下,骨髓来源的上皮细胞(BMDECs)在皮肤肿瘤中的募集情况。BMDECs 在病变上皮中聚集,表达细胞角蛋白,增殖并分层。我们在存在经滤器分离的角质形成细胞(KCs)和骨形态发生蛋白 5(BMP5)的情况下,检测到塑料贴附的骨髓细胞(BMCs)中细胞角蛋白的诱导。在体外侵袭实验中,耗尽谱系的 BMCs 向高迁移率族蛋白 1(HMGB1)蛋白和表皮 KC 迁移。在单独接受 TPA 促进后,接受来自 DMBA 处理供体的 BMT 的雌性小鼠发展出良性和恶性病变。我们得出结论,BMDECs 有助于乳头瘤和发育不良的发展,表明它们对这些病变有全身性贡献。此外,暴露于致癌剂的 BMCs 在肿瘤促进后可引发良性和恶性病变。最终,这些发现可能提示了治疗非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的靶点。
