It is unknown why only a minority of circulating tumor cells trapped in lung capillaries form metastases and involvement of immune cells remains uncertain. A novel model has been developed in this study showing that neutrophils regulate lung metastasis development through physical interaction and anchoring of circulating tumor cells to endothelium. Human melanoma cells were intravenously injected into nude mice leading to entrapment of many cancer cells; however, 24 hours later very few remained in the lungs. In contrast, injection of human neutrophils an hour after tumor cell injection, increased cancer cell retention by ~3-fold. Entrapped melanoma cells produced and secreted high levels of a cytokine called IL-8, attracting neutrophils and increasing tethering β2 integrin expression by 75-100%. ICAM-1 on melanoma cells and β2 integrin on neutrophils interacted, promoting anchoring to vascular endothelium. Decreasing IL-8 secretion from melanoma cells lowered extracellular levels by 20-50%, decreased β2 integrin on neutrophils by ~50% and reduced neutrophil-mediated extravasation by 25-60%, resulting in ~50% fewer melanoma cells being tethered to endothelium and retained in lungs. Thus, transendothelial migration and lung metastasis development decreased by ~50%, showing that targeting IL-8 in melanoma cells has the potential to decrease metastasis development by disrupting interaction with neutrophils.
