Zusammenfassung: | [Display omitted]
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin cancer caused by mutagenesis resulting from excess UVR or other types of oxidative stress. These stressors also upregulate the production of a cutaneous innate immune element, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP), through endoplasmic reticulum stress–initiated, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway. Although CAMP has beneficial antimicrobial activities, it also can be proinflammatory and procarcinogenic. We addressed whether and how S1P-induced CAMP production leads to cSCC development. Our study demonstrated that (i) CAMP expression is increased in cSCC cells and skin from patients with cSCC; (ii) S1P levels are elevated in cSCC cells, whereas inhibition of S1P production attenuates CAMP-stimulated cSCC growth; (iii) exogenous CAMP stimulates cSCC but not normal human keratinocyte growth; (iv) blockade of FPRL1 protein, a CAMP receptor, attenuates cSCC growth as well as the growth and invasion of cSCC cells mediated by CAMP into an extracellular matrix–containing fibroblast substrate; (v) FOXP3+ regulatory T-cell (which decreases antitumor immunity) levels increase in cSCC skin; and (vi) CAMP induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in cSCC cells. Together, the endoplasmic reticulum stress–S1P–CAMP axis forms a vicious circle, creating a favorable environment for cSCC development, that is, cSCC growth and invasion impede anticancer immunity. |
