Abstract
Objectives: Uncertainties remain regarding the effect of elevated glucose levels on lymphatic metastasis of cancer cells. Our study elucidated the mechanisms linking high glucose to lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic barrier-related factors and investigated the protective role of linagliptin against lymphatic barrier dysfunction.
Materials and methods: A CAL-27-LEC co-culture system was established. Sodium fluorescein permeability assay observed lymphatic endothelial cell permeability. Western blotting and RT-qPCR detected protein and mRNA expression under different conditions, respectively. CCK-8, scratch wound healing, and transwell assays revealed cell migration and proliferation. Tube formation experiment tested capacity for endothelial tube formation. Immunohistochemical staining analyzed tissue sections from 43 oral cancer individuals with/without diabetes.
Results: In high-glucose co-culture system, we observed increased lymphatic barrier permeability and decreased expression of ZO-1 and occludin, two tight-junction proteins; conversely, the expression of PAR2, a high permeability-related protein, was increased. Following linagliptin treatment, the expression levels of VEGF-C, VEGFR-3, and PAR2 decreased, while those of ZO-1 and occludin increased. Considerably higher levels of LYVE-1 expression in individuals with diabetes than in those without diabetes.
Conclusions: By ameliorating the high glucose-induced disruption of the lymphatic endothelial barrier, linagliptin may reduce lymphangiogenesis and exhibit an inhibitory effect on lymphatic metastasis in oral cancer patients with diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
