Abstract

Versican drives metastasis Distant-site metastases are the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality. A study of the inflammatory microenvironment of cancer cells has identified versican, an extracellular matrix proteoglycan, as a possible factor in driving metastasis. It was isolated from the highly metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma cells as a potent inducer of macrophage activation. Versican, which is upregulated in many human tumours, stimulates bone marrow cells via the Toll-like receptor TLR2 to produce the inflammatory protein TNF-?, which enhances the spread of metastases. This points to versican and the other components of this signalling pathway as potential targets for antimetastatic intervention.
