Permanent Pro-Tumorigenic Shift in Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Induced by Breast Malignancy

During cancer progression, breast tumor cells interact with adjacent adipose tissue, which has been shown to be engaged in cancer aggressiveness. However, the tumor-directed changes in adipose tissue-resident stromal cells affected by the tumor−stroma communication are still poorly underst...

description During cancer progression, breast tumor cells interact with adjacent adipose tissue, which has been shown to be engaged in cancer aggressiveness. However, the tumor-directed changes in adipose tissue-resident stromal cells affected by the tumor&#8722;stroma communication are still poorly understood. The acquired changes might remain in the tissue even after tumor removal and may contribute to tumor relapse. We investigated functional properties (migratory capacity, expression and secretion profile) of mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from healthy (<i>n</i> = 9) and tumor-distant breast adipose tissue (<i>n</i> = 32). Cancer patient-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) (MSC-CA) exhibited a significantly disarranged secretion profile and proliferation potential. Co-culture with MDA-MB-231, T47D and JIMT-1, representing different subtypes of breast cancer, was used to analyze the effect of MSCs on proliferation, invasion and tumorigenicity. The MSC-CA enhanced tumorigenicity and altered xenograft composition in immunodeficient mice. Histological analysis revealed collective cell invasion with a specific invasive front of EMT-positive tumor cells as well as invasion of cancer cells to the nerve-surrounding space. This study identifies that adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells are primed and permanently altered by tumor presence in breast tissue and have the potential to increase tumor cell invasive ability through the activation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in tumor cells.
