| Abstract | Metastasis continues to be the leading cause of mortality for patients with cancer. High expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 correlates with poor prognosis in many cancers, including osteosarcoma and melanoma. CXCL12, the ligand for CXCR4, is expressed at high levels in the lung and lymph node, which are the primary sites to which these tumors metastasize respectively. These findings suggest that therapy aimed at disruption of this specific receptor/ligand complex may lead to a decrease in metastases. CTCE-9908, a small peptide CXCR4 antagonist was utilized in two murine metastasis models to test this hypothesis. Treatment of osteosarcoma cells in vitro with CTCE-9908 led to the following changes: decreased adhesion, decreased migration, decreased invasion, and decreased growth rate. Following tail vein injection of osteosarcoma cells, mice that were treated with CTCE-9908 had a 50% reduction in the number of gross metastatic lung nodules and a marked decrease in micro-metastatic disease. Similar findings were observed following injection of melanoma cells and treatment with CTCE-9908. However, these results could only be consistently reproduced when the cells were pre-treated with the inhibitor. A novel ex vivo luciferase assay showed decreased numbers of cells in the lung immediately after injection into mice, when treated with CTCE-9908, suggesting the importance of interactions between the receptor and the ligand. Our findings show that inhibition of the CXCR4/CXCL12 pathway decreases metastatic disease in two murine tumor models and expands on previous reports to describe potential mechanisms of action. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
