Abstract Several studies have reported that erythropoietin (Epo) is a pleiotropic cytokine with biological properties in addition to its primary function in regulating maturation, growth and survival along the erythroid lineage. Recently, a number of investigators have reported that various neoplastic tissues and human cancer cell lines express Epo and the Epo receptor (EpoR), raising suspicion for the presence of an autocrine-paracrine Epo-EpoR system. It has been shown that inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) results in an increase of Epo secretion and increased hematocrit in vivo. In this study, we used an in vivo Lewis lung carcinoma model to examine a converse Epo effect on VEGF production and metastasis. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were injected subcutaneously into C57BL mice. The plasma levels of VEGF, the tumor vessel formation, the size of the primary tumors and the extent of lung metastatic disease were determined. In addition, intravenously injected LLC cells seeded in the lungs were assessed. Tumor-bearing animals treated with Epo had 23.6% less VEGF in the plasma compared to saline treated mice (p<0.04). There was no correlation between VEGF concentration and hemoglobin levels in either group of animals. Tumor sections indicated that the number of blood vessels was higher (10.7% for inner and 23.8% for outer, respectively) in tumors obtained from animals treated with saline compared to Epo-treated mice (p>0.05). Using non-parametric analysis, we found that there was a statistically significant difference in tumor growth between saline-treated and Epo-treated animals (p<0.05). However, the number of lung metastases derived from primary tumors was similar in both groups. In assessing size of the metastatic tumors, we found that the average volume of lung nodules was 24.2% higher in saline-injected animals compared to Epo-treated mice. The number of tumors seeded in the lungs following intravenous injection of LLC cells was similar in animals treated with a high dosage of Epo, low dosage of Epo or saline. In addition, the average volume of the nodules was reduced by 42% in animals treated with high and low concentrations of Epo compared to the control group (p = 0.03). In conclusion, Epo exerts a paracrine suppressive effect on VEGF secretion resulting in slower tumor growth in this model.

AbstractCancer cachexia is a metabolic disorder characterized by skeletal muscle wasting and white adipose tissue browning. Specific functions of several hormones, growth factors, and cytokines derived from tumors can trigger cachexia. Moreover, adipose tissue lipolysis might explain weight loss that occurs owing to cachexia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in intercellular communication. However, whether EVs participate in lipolysis induced by cancer cachexia has not been thoroughly investigated. Using Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell culture, we tested whether LLC cell-derived EVs can induce lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. EVs derived from LLC cells were isolated and characterized biochemically and biophysically. Western blotting and glycerol assay were used to study lipolysis. LLC cell-derived EVs induced lipolysis in vivo and vitro. EVs fused directly with target 3T3-L1 adipocytes and transferred parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), activating the PKA signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Blocking PTHrP activity in LLC-EVs using a neutralizing antibody and by knocking down PTHR expression prevented lipolysis in adipocytes. Inhibiting the PKA signaling pathway also prevents the lipolytic effects of EVs. In vivo, suppression of LLC-EVs release by knocking down Rab27A alleviated white adipose tissue browning and lipolysis. Our data showed that LLC cell-derived EVs induced adipocyte lipolysis via the extracellular PTHrP-mediated PKA pathway. Our data demonstrate that LLC-EVs induce lipolysis in vitro and vivo by delivering PTHrP, which interacts with PTHR. The lipolytic effect of LLC-EVs was abrogated by PTHR knockdown and treatment with a neutralizing anti-PTHrP antibody. Together, these data show that LLC-EV-induced lipolysis is mediated by extracellular PTHrP. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of lipid droplet loss and identify a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer cachexia.

Insufficient transport of therapeutic cargo into tumor bed is a bottleneck in cancer nanomedicine. Block copolymers are promising carriers with smaller particle size by ratio modification. Here, we constructed cisplatin nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 8 to 40 nm to study the permeability and therapy of Lewis lung carcinoma. We synthesized methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)2000-block poly(L-glutamic acid sodium salt)1979 loading cisplatin through complexation reaction. The cisplatin nanomedicine has high drug loading and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro data demonstrated that cisplatin nanoparticles had equivalent growth-inhibiting effects on Lewis lung carcinoma cells compared to free cisplatin. In vivo evidences showed cisplatin nanoparticles had superior antitumor effects on the Lewis lung carcinoma mouse model with no obvious side effects. All results indicated that optimizing the ratio of block copolymers to obtain smaller sized nanomedicine could act as a promising strategy for overcoming the inadequate accumulation in poorly vascularized tumors.

Cyclophosphamide Dose

A new biological model of moderate inhibition of tumor growth and metastases with prolonged leukopenia on C57Bl/6 mice with the Lewis Lung Carcinoma was designed. The model was created by the injection of cyclophosphamide (dose 83.3mg/kg) on 6th, 12th, 18th days after tumor cells transplantation on animals. Experiment showed that 3-fold cyclo-phosphamide use leads to growth of primary tumor and metastases inhibition. Tumor growth inhibition was 34% on 21st day after cyclophosphamide inject. The number of metastases decreased by 4.7times (p<0,01). Metastatic area reduced. Metastasis frequency made 100%. In addition, the course of cyclophosphamide application caused inhibition of granulocytic and lymphoid hematopoiesis. The reducing the number of segmented neutrophils and lymphocytes was showed on the 3rd day after 1, 2 and 3 injections of cyclophosphamide. The model can be used to study the efficacy of drugs in tumor therapy and in correction of such toxic manifestation of chemotherapy as leukopenia.
