Abstract

Significance: Prostate cancer often responds to hormone ablation therapy or chemotherapy by becoming more aggressive and metastatic. B cells recruited into hormone-deprived tumors by C-X-C motif chemokine 13 (CXCL13) play an important role in this process. We investigated how androgen ablation induces CXCL13 expression and found that CXCL13 is expressed by myofibroblasts within the tumor microenvironment that become activated as a result of low oxygen tension and hypoxia in androgen-deprived tumors. Hypoxia activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and induces TGF-β expression, which converts fibroblasts to myofibroblasts and stimulates CXCL13 production. We show that several treatments that block CXCL13 expression, including immunodepletion of myofibroblasts, blockade of TGF-β signaling, and phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, inhibit B-cell recruitment into androgen-deprived prostate tumors and prevent the emergence of a more aggressive type of cancer.

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.
