Popis: Circulating tumor cells become fully metastatic if they are able to extravasate from the microvasculature and move into microenvironmental niches that facilitate their survival within distant site organs. To determine if inflammation promotes this process in the lungs, inflammatory asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or bleomycin-induced injury were initiated prior to the intravenous introduction of low malignant potential B16F0 melanoma cells. All three conditions increased end-stage metastatic burden without increasing the initial tumor cell extravasation from the lung microvasculature. There was, however, an increase in the number and size of early micrometastatic lesions within the lung interstitia that were visible 96 hr after melanoma cell introduction. There was also an increase in tumor cell survival within these early lesions located in the inflamed lungs that was associated with the presence of nearby newly recruited CD11c+CD11b+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoDM). Adoptive transfer experiments indicated that these MoDM cells facilitated B16F0 cell metastasis in the absence of inflammation. Additionally, a factor, or factors, secreted by MoDM promoted B16F0 cell survival under stress-inducing condition. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that inflammation-induced monocyte-derived macrophages act as a modifier of the post-extravasation microenvironment that appears to facilitate the early emergence of distant site metastasis.
