Crosstalk between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and bone marrow stromal cells: role of interleukin 8 and CML derived- exosomes
2013
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the t(9:22) (q34:q11) reciprocal translocation, resulting in the expression of the chimeric Bcr–Abl oncoprotein with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. Exosomes (Exo) are small vesicles of endosomal origin and of 40-100 nm diameter released by many cell types including cancer cells. Several data indicate that Exo play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and tumor-stroma interaction, thus potentially affecting cancer progression. It is well known that stromal microenvironment contributes to disease progression through the establishment of a bi-directional crosstalk with cancer cells. In the b…

Introduction: CML is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by Bcr-Abl oncoprotein with a constitutive tyr-kinase activity. Exosomes (exo) shed by cancer cells potentially affect tumor-stroma interaction through the establishment of a bi-directional crosstalk. Interleukin-8 (IL8) is a proinflammatory chemokine that regulate proliferation and survival of cancer cells. We previously demonstrated that CML-derived exo modulate bone marrow microenvironment through the IL8 secretion from stromal cells. EGFR, as well as IL8, regulate cell proliferation and survival; it has been recently demonstrated that EGFR ligands can signal via exosomes shed by cancer cells. We hypothesized that the effec…
