Recent investigations point at the stromal microenvironment to assess additional diagnostic information and provide new therapeutic targets in cancer. The aim of the study was to contribute to the characterization of the phenotype of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in prostate cancer (PCa) compared with normal prostate-associated fibroblasts (NAFs) and fibroblasts from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Three patient populations were prospectively recruited: 23 patients with new localized PCa, 14 patients with advanced PCa treated with androgenic deprivation therapy (ADT), and 7 patients with BPH. Gene expression of 20 stroma-derived factors, including the androgen receptor (AR), chaperones (HSPA1A and HSF1), growth factors (FGF2, FGF7, FGF10, HGF, PDGFB, and TGFβ), proteins implicated in invasion (MMP2, MMP9, and MMP11), inflammation (IL6, IL17RB, NFκB, and STAT3), and in-stroma/epithelium interaction (CDH11, CXCL12, CXCL14, and FAP), was evaluated. Localized PCa CAFs showed a significant higher expression of FGF7, IL6, MMP2, and MMP11 compared with NAFs or IL17RB compared with BPH fibroblasts, but significantly lower expression of FGF10 and IL17RB compared with NAFs or CXCL14 compared with BPH fibroblasts. In addition, CAFs from ADT-resistant PCa showed significantly higher MMP11 and NFκB but significant lower TGFβ expression compared with CAFs from ADT-sensitive tumors. Our results contribute to defining the CAFs phenotypes associated to PCa progression, which may contribute to the diagnosis and design of alternative therapies in PCa.
近期研究指出,基质微环境可用于评估更多诊断信息,并为癌症提供新的治疗靶点。本研究的目的是,与正常前列腺相关成纤维细胞(NAFs)和良性前列腺增生(BPH)来源的成纤维细胞相比,对前列腺癌(PCa)中癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)的表型特征进行研究。前瞻性招募了三组患者:23例新诊断的局限性PCa患者、14例接受雄激素剥夺治疗(ADT)的晚期PCa患者和7例BPH患者。评估了20种基质衍生因子的基因表达,包括雄激素受体(AR)、伴侣蛋白(HSPA1A和HSF1)、生长因子(FGF2、FGF7、FGF10、HGF、PDGFB和TGFβ)、与侵袭相关的蛋白(MMP2、MMP9和MMP11)、炎症相关蛋白(IL6、IL17RB、NFκB和STAT3)以及基质/上皮相互作用相关蛋白(CDH11、CXCL12、CXCL14和FAP)。局限性PCa的CAFs与NAFs相比,FGF7、IL6、MMP2和MMP11的表达显著更高,与BPH成纤维细胞相比,IL17RB的表达显著更高;但与NAFs相比,FGF10和IL17RB的表达显著更低,与BPH成纤维细胞相比,CXCL14的表达显著更低。此外,与ADT敏感肿瘤的CAFs相比,ADT抵抗PCa的CAFs中MMP11和NFκB的表达显著更高,但TGFβ的表达显著更低。我们的研究结果有助于明确与PCa进展相关的CAFs表型,这可能有助于PCa的诊断和替代疗法的设计。
