In contrast to C-reactive protein (CRP), PCT is not elevated in inflammations of noninfectious origin. Febrile inflammatory conditions are frequent in patients with hemato-oncological diseases. A reliable marker to discriminate infectious inflammations from drug-related and tumor-associated fever is still lacking. To evaluate the impact of PCT in this setting, PCT and CRP were prospectively measured in 95 febrile hemato-oncological patients. Infections could be identified in 40 of 95 patients: 38 of 95 had fever of unknown origin (FUO), 9 patients were suspected to suffer from drug-related fever, and 8 patients from tumor-associated fever. In the noninfection group (drug-related and tumor-associated fever), PCT levels were significantly lower than in patients with infections (P<0.001) or FUO (P<0.001). Differences were still highly significant comparing patients with suspected drug-related or tumor-associated fever alone with the infection or the FUO cohort. All eight patients with tumor-associated fever as well as eight of the nine patients with drug-related fever had PCT levels within the normal range (<0.5 mu g/l). CRP values only partially allowed discrimination between the various subgroups. Differences were significant between patients with drug-related fever and the infection (P=0.001) or FUO group (P=0.004). However, as CRP levels were far above the normal range also in the patients with drug-related fever, the significance of individual values was rather limited. In conclusion, PCT may provide useful additional information to assess the clinical significance of febrile conditions. PCT may facilitate the decision on when to initiate antimicrobial or cytotoxic therapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00277-002-0584-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000181574600007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","12601488"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/46448"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0584"],["dc.relation.issn","0939-5555"],["dc.title","Procalcitonin: a useful discriminator between febrile conditions of different origin in hemato-oncological patients?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Expression of the MMPs was significantly stronger in the carcinomas than in non-malignant tissues. High levels were demonstrated particularly in clear cell RCCs (CC-RCC). Except for MMP-1, MMP expression in the papillary RCCs (P-RCC) was, for most MMPs, significantly lower. Expression of the TIMPs in malignant cells of both subtypes was weak, with the exception of TIMP-4 which was strongly expressed in the P-RCCs and downregulated in the CC-RCCs. The latter was correlated with chromosomal loss of 3p, harbouring the TIMP-4 gene locus. In conclusion, deregulated expression of the MMPs and TIMPs in RCCs differs according to histology, grade, size and cytogenetic characteristics, suggesting that MMP and TIMP expression patterns play an important role for the typical histomorphological features of RCC subtypes and their respective biological behaviour.

To investigate mechanisms by which macrophages interact with tumor cells, we developed an in vitro coculture model. Previously we reported that coculture enhanced invasiveness of the tumor cells in a TNF-alpha- and matrix metalloprotease-dependent manner. In this report, we studied intracellular signaling pathways and induction of inflammatory genes in malignant cells under the influence of macrophage coculture. We report that coculture of macrophages with ovarian or breast cancer cell lines led to TNF-alpha-dependent activation of JNK and NF-kappa B pathways in tumor cells, but not in benign immortalized epithelial cells. Tumor cells with increased JNK and NF-kappa B activity exhibited enhanced invasiveness. Inhibition of the NF-kappa B pathway by TNF-alpha neutralizing Abs, an NF-kappa B inhibitor, RNAi to Re1A, or overexpression of I kappa B inhibited tumor cell invasiveness. Blockade of JNK also significantly reduced invasiveness, but blockade of p38 MAPK or p42 MAPK had no effect. Cocultured tumor cells were screened for the expression of 22 genes associated with inflammation and invasion that also contained an AP-1 and NF-kappa B binding site. EMMPRIN and MIF were up-regulated in cocultured tumor cells in a JNK- and NF-kappa B-dependent manner. Knocking down either MIF or EMMPRIN by RNAi in the tumor cells significantly reduced tumor cell invasiveness and matrix metalloprotease activity in the coculture supernatant. We conclude that TNF-alpha, via NF-kappa B, and JNK induces MIF and EMMPRIN in macrophage to tumor cell cocultures and this leads to increased invasive capacity of the tumor cells."],["dc.identifier.isi","000233647600067"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16002723"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19268"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Assoc Immunologists"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-1767"],["dc.title","Macrophages induce invasiveness of epithelial cancer cells via NF-kappa B and JNK"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We therefore investigated the effect of RLX on invasiveness and MNIP expression of human breast cancer cell lines.

Similar effects could be achieved in MCF-7 cells, especially when RLX was combined with epidermal growth factor.

Of five human breast tumor cell lines tested, all expressed mRNAs for ET-1, ET-2, and ET-RB. ET-RA mRNA was expressed by four of five tumor cell lines. Breast tumor cells migrated toward ET-I and ET-2 but not toward ET-3. Chemotaxis involved signaling via both receptors, and a pertussis toxin-sensitivep42/p44mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)mediated pathway that could be inhibited by MAPK kinase (MEK)1/2 antagonists. Chemotaxis toward ETs did not involve p38 or stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and was not inhibited by hypoxia. Incubation of tumor cells with ET-2 also increased chemotaxis toward the chemokines CXCL12 and CCL21. As well as inducing chemotaxis of tumor cells, ET-1 and ET-2 increased tumor cell invasion through Matrigel. Furthermore, stimulation of macrophage/tumor cell cocultures with ETs led to increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 production by macrophages and a marked increase in invasion of tumor cells. Antagonism of either ET-RA or ET-RB decreased the invasion seen in ET-stimulated cocultures, as did a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor. Immunohistochemical staining of human breast tumor sections showed increased ET and ET receptor protein expression by tumor cells in invasive ductal carcinoma compared with normal breast tissue or ductal carcinoma in situ. Furthermore, tumor cell ET and receptor expression was stronger at the invasive margin of invasive ductal carcinomas, in the lymphovascular space, and in lymph node metastases. ET expression often colocalized with ET-RB expression in all neoplastic tissue indicating a possible autocrine action of ETs.

Wnt genes, involved in cell migration and often deregulated in cancers, are attractive candidates to regulate these effects. We have recently shown that coculture of breast cancer cells with macrophages enhances invasiveness via matrix metal loproteases and TNF-alpha. Here we demonstrate that coculture of MCF-7 cells and macrophages leads to up-regulation of Writ 5a in the latter. This was accompanied by activation of AP-1/c-Jun in MCF-7. Recombinant Writ 5a mimicked the coculture effect. Writ 5a was also detectable in tumor-associated macrophages in primary breast cancers. Experiments with agonists and antagonists of Writ signaling revealed that a functional canonical pathway in the tumor cells was a necessary prerequisite; however, noncanonical signaling via Writ 5a and the Jun-N-terminal kinase pathway was critical for invasiveness. It was also responsible for induction of matrix metalloprotease-7, known to release TNF-alpha. All these effects could be antagonized by dickkopf-1. Our results indicate that Wnt 5a is essential for macrophage-induced invasiveness, because it regulates tumor cell migration as well as proteolytic activity of the macrophages. The function of Writ 5a as either a suppressor or promoter of malignant progression seems to be modulated by intercellular interactions.
