Abstract

Bone marrow (BM) angiogenesis significantly influences disease progression in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and correlates with adverse prognosis. The present study shows a statistically significant correlation of the AP-1 family member JunB with VEGF, VEGFB, and IGF1 expression levels in MM. In contrast to the angiogenic master regulator Hif-1α, JunB protein levels were independent of hypoxia. Results in tumor-cell models that allow the induction of JunB knockdown or JunB activation, respectively, corroborated the functional role of JunB in the production and secretion of these angiogenic factors (AFs). Consequently, conditioned media derived from MM cells after JunB knockdown or JunB activation either inhibited or stimulated in vitro angiogenesis. The impact of JunB on MM BM angiogenesis was finally confirmed in a dynamic 3D model of the BM microenvironment, a xenograft mouse model as well as in patient-derived BM sections. In summary, in continuation of our previous study (Fan et al., 2017), the present report reveals for the first time that JunB is not only a mediator of MM cell survival, proliferation, and drug resistance, but also a promoter of AF transcription and consequently of MM BM angiogenesis. Our results thereby underscore worldwide efforts to target AP-1 transcription factors such as JunB as a promising strategy in MM therapy.

摘要

骨髓(BM)血管生成显著影响多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者的疾病进展,并与不良预后相关。本研究表明,AP-1 家族成员 JunB 与 MM 中的 VEGF、VEGFB 和 IGF1 表达水平呈统计学显著相关。与血管生成主调控因子 Hif-1α 不同,JunB 蛋白水平不依赖于缺氧。允许分别诱导 JunB 敲低或 JunB 激活的肿瘤细胞模型的结果证实了 JunB 在这些血管生成因子(AFs)的产生和分泌中的功能作用。因此,来自 MM 细胞的条件培养基在 JunB 敲低或 JunB 激活后,分别抑制或刺激体外血管生成。最后,在 BM 微环境的动态 3D 模型、异种移植小鼠模型以及患者来源的 BM 切片中证实了 JunB 对 MM BM 血管生成的影响。总之,继我们之前的研究(Fan 等人,2017)之后,本报告首次揭示 JunB 不仅是 MM 细胞存活、增殖和耐药性的介导物,也是 AF 转录和因此 MM BM 血管生成的促进物。我们的结果因此强调了靶向 AP-1 转录因子(如 JunB)作为 MM 治疗中一种有前途的策略的全球努力。
