VEGF-A and Tenascin-C produced by S100A4 + stromal cells are important for metastatic colonization
Open accessAbstract
Increased numbers of S100A4 + cells are associated with poor prognosis in patients who have cancer. Although the metastatic capabilities of S100A4 + cancer cells have been examined, the functional role of S100A4 + stromal cells in metastasis is largely unknown. To study the contribution of S100A4 + stromal cells in metastasis, we used transgenic mice that express viral thymidine kinase under control of the S100A4 promoter to specifically ablate S100A4 + stromal cells. Depletion of S100A4 + stromal cells significantly reduced metastatic colonization without affecting primary tumor growth. Multiple bone marrow transplantation studies demonstrated that these effects of S100A4 + stromal cells are attributable to local non–bone marrow-derived S100A4 + cells, which are likely fibroblasts in this setting. Reduction in metastasis due to the loss of S100A4 + fibroblasts correlated with a concomitant decrease in the expression of several ECM molecules and growth factors, particularly Tenascin-C and VEGF-A. The functional importance of stromal Tenascin-C and S100A4 + fibroblast-derived VEGF-A in metastasis was established by examining Tenascin-C null mice and transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the S100A4 promoter crossed with mice carrying VEGF-A alleles flanked by loxP sites, which exhibited a significant decrease in metastatic colonization without effects on primary tumor growth. In particular, S100A4 + fibroblast-derived VEGF-A plays an important role in the establishment of an angiogenic microenvironment at the metastatic site to facilitate colonization, whereas stromal Tenascin-C may provide protection from apoptosis. Our study demonstrates a crucial role for local S100A4 + fibroblasts in providing the permissive “soil” for metastatic colonization, a challenging step in the metastatic cascade.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
