Popis: The mechanisms tumor cells use to hijack the immune system are largely uncharted. Here we used bioluminescent nuclear factor (NF)-κB reporter mice and macrophages to discover that metastatic tumors trigger NF-κB activation in host macrophages, dependent on mutant KRAS signaling and delivered via secretory versican. Versican activates NF-κB in tumor-associated macrophages via inhibitor of NF-κB kinase (IKK) β, resulting in release of interleukin (IL)-1β into the tumor microenvironment. Versican silencing in cancer cells or conditional IKKβ deletion in macrophages prevents myeloid NF-κB activation and metastasis. Versican is overexpressed and/or mutated in human cancers and metastatic effusions with KRAS mutations, predicts poor survival, can aid in the development of diagnostic platforms for pleural metastasis, and is druggable via toll-like receptor (TLR) 1/2 inhibition. The data indicate a cardinal role for tumor-derived versican in establishing cross-talk with macrophage IKKβ during metastasis and may foster the development of new therapies and diagnostic tools.
