The histological distinction between bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and other adenocarcinomas is tissue invasion. The clinical importance of lung adenocarcinoma invasion is supported by several recent studies indicating that the risk of death in non-mucinous BAC is significantly lower than that of pure invasive tumors and in tumors with greater than 0.6 cm of fibrosis or linear invasion. Using microarray gene expression profiling of human tumors, dysregulation of transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) signaling was identified as an important mediator of tumor invasion. Subsequent studies showed that the CC chemokine RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal T-cell Expressed, and presumably Secreted) was upregulated in invasive tumors and was required for invasion in cells with repressed levels of the TGF-ß type II receptor. Taken together, these studies illustrate how information gained from global expression profiling of tumors can be used to identify key pathways and genes mediating tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.
