Abstract
Bone metastasis (BM) is one of the most common complications of advanced cancer. Immunotherapy for bone metastasis of lung cancer (LCBM) is not so promising and the immune mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we utilized a model of BM by injecting cancer cells through caudal artery (CA) to screen out a highly bone metastatic derivative (LLC1-BM3) from a murine lung cancer cell line LLC1. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics was performed in LLC1-parental and LLC1-BM3 cells. Combining with prognostic survival information from patients with lung cancer, we identified serpin B9 (SB9) as a key factor in BM. Molecular characterization showed that SB9 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis and high bone metastatic burden in lung cancer. Moreover, SB9 could increase the ability of lung cancer cells to metastasize to the bone. The mechanistic studies revealed that tumor-derived SB9 promoted BM through an immune cell-dependent way by inactivating granzyme B, manifesting with the decreased infiltration of cytotoxic T cells and increased expression level of exhausted markers. A specific SB9-targeting inhibitor [1,3-benzoxazole-6-carboxylic acid (BTCA)] significantly suppressed LCBM in the CA mouse model. This study reveals that SB9 may serve as a therapeutic target and potential prognostic marker for patients with LCBM.
Implications: SB9 as a therapeutic target for LCBM.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Cancer Research publishes articles describing novel basic cancer research discoveries of broad interest to the field. Studies must be of demonstrated significance, and the journal prioritizes analyses performed at the molecular and cellular level that reveal novel mechanistic insight into pathways and processes linked to cancer risk, development, and/or progression. Areas of emphasis include all cancer-associated pathways (including cell-cycle regulation; cell death; chromatin regulation; DNA damage and repair; gene and RNA regulation; genomics; oncogenes and tumor suppressors; signal transduction; and tumor microenvironment), in addition to studies describing new molecular mechanisms and interactions that support cancer phenotypes. For full consideration, primary research submissions must provide significant novel insight into existing pathway functions or address new hypotheses associated with cancer-relevant biologic questions.
