- Introduction: Peritoneal carcinosis (PC) is the third common site of metastatic colorectal cancer which characterized by a very low survival rate. Surgical trauma has been identified as an important factor in the progression of PC, postulated to be caused by the inflammatory response to tissue injury. The mechanism behind tumor metastasis remains poorly understood. However, existing evidence indicates that neutrophils, via Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), are implicated in the development of metastatic disease and recently identified as one of the most significant key players in promoting tumor progression. In this study, we highlight the mechanism by which NETs promote surgery-induced colon cancer cell peritoneal metastasis through regulation of key receptors, CXCR2 and αvβ3 integrin.Methods: We developed a murine model of surgical stress-induced PC by post-surgery inoculation of CT-26 murine colon cancer cell line. Surface expression of CXCR2 and αvβ3 on CT-26 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry live staining. Gene expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins from wound incision wall was quantified using qRT-PCR. Function of CXCR2 and αvβ3 in tumor cell migration, proliferation, and adhesion were assessed by blocking assays using CXCR2 antagonist SB225002 and anti-CD51 in vitro and in vivo. Role of neutrophils in promoting cancer cell migration and adhesion was demonstrated using in vitro co-cultured migration and adhesion assays. NET formation was measured using modified ELISA technique of Histone-DNA complex. Depletion of NETs were achieved by daily intraperitoneal administration of 2mg/kg DNase I to mice for 10 days and tumor growth was evaluated by counting macroscopic nodules number on the peritoneum.Results: Blocking CXCR2 and Targeting αv integrin reduced tumor nodules number in vivo by 70% and 65% respectively and decreased cancer cell migration, proliferation, and adhesion in vitro. Incision wound tissue displayed pronounced reduction in ECM proteins mRNAs in treated mice with both CXCR2 antagonist and αv antibody. Mice treatment with DNase I significantly reduced tumor nodules number more than 90% compared to tumor control. Anti-CD51 decreased NET-induced CT-26 cell adhesion. Neutrophils stimulation with MIP-2 exhibits dose-dependent increase of NETosis. Co-culture of neutrophils and cancer cells provoked NETs formation and increased capacity of colon cancer cell migration while DNase I treatment abolished neutrophils NETs-induced tumor cell migration in vitroConclusion: Our novel findings implicate NETs in the development of PC due to surgical stress, suggesting that blocking NET formation might be an interesting potential therapeutic approach.

- Peritoneal metastasis is an insidious aspect of colorectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to define mechanisms regulating colon cancer cell adhesion and spread to peritoneal wounds after abdominal surgery. Mice was laparotomized and injected intraperitoneally with CT-26 colon carcinoma cells and metastatic noduli in the peritoneal cavity was quantified after treatment with a CXCR2 antagonist or integrin-αV-antibody. CT-26 cells expressed cell surface chemokine receptors CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4 and CXCR5. Stimulation with the CXCR2 ligand, CXCL2, dose-dependently increased proliferation and migration of CT-26 cells in vitro. The CXCR2 antagonist, SB225002, dose-dependently decreased CXCL2-induced proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells in vitro. Intraperitoneal administration of CT-26 colon cancer cells resulted in wide-spread growth of metastatic nodules at the peritoneal surface of laparotomized animals. Laparotomy increased gene expression of CXCL2 at the incisional line. Pretreatment with CXCR2 antagonist reduced metastatic nodules by 70%. Moreover, stimulation with CXCL2 increased CT-26 cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in a CXCR2-dependent manner. CT-26 cells expressed the αV, β1 and β3 integrin subunits and immunoneutralization of αV abolished CXCL2-triggered adhesion of CT-26 to vitronectin, fibronectin and fibrinogen. Finally, inhibition of the αV integrin significantly attenuated the number of carcinomatosis nodules by 69% in laparotomized mice. These results were validated by use of the human colon cancer cell line HT-29 in vitro. Our data show that colon cancer cell adhesion and growth on peritoneal wound sites is mediated by a CXCL2-CXCR2 signaling axis and αV integrin-dependent adhesion to ECM proteins.
