Tumor microenvironment components dictate the growth and progression of various cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages are the most predominant cells in TME and play a major role in cancer invasiveness. Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in Asia, and recently, various cases of resistance to fluorouracil treatment have been reported. In this study, we investigated the role of alternatively activated macrophages in the resistance of AGS gastric cancer cells to fluorouracil. THP-1 cells were polarized using recombinant human IL-4, then were cocultured with AGS cells treated with fluorouracil. Cell viability, Western blot, immunofluorescence, and cell invasion were performed for this investigation. Our results demonstrated that polarized macrophages initiated the survival of treated AGS cells and induced the resistance in AGS by upregulating the expression of integrin β3, focal adhesion protein (FAK), and cofilin proteins. These results reveal that integrin β3, focal adhesion protein (FAK), and cofilin proteins are potential targets for the improvement of fluorouracil efficacy in gastric cancer treatment.

AbstractPlasticity between adhesive and less-adhesive states is important for mammalian cell behaviour. To investigate adhesion plasticity, we have selected a stable isogenic subpopulation of MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cells which grows in suspension. These suspension cells are unable to re-adhere to various matrices or to contract three-dimensional collagen lattices. By transcriptome analysis, we identified the focal adhesion protein tensin3 (Tns3) as a determinant of adhesion plasticity. Tns3 is strongly reduced on mRNA and protein level in suspension cells. Furthermore, challenging breast cancer cells transiently with non-adherent conditions markedly reduces Tns3 expression, which is regained upon re-adhesion. Stable knockdown of Tns3 in parental cells results in defective adhesion, spreading and migration. Tns3 knockdown cells display impaired structure and dynamics of focal adhesion complexes as determined by immunostaining. Restoration of Tns3 expression in suspension cells partially rescues adhesion and focal contact composition. Our work identifies Tns3 as a critical focal adhesion component regulated by, and functionally contributing to, the switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states in MDA-MB-468 cancer cells.Summary statementWe identify the cell-matrix adapter protein tensin3 as a determinant of adhesion plasticity, using cancer cells selected for non-adherent growth. Tensin3 expression constitutes a feedback loop controlling adhesion and motility.
