LL-37 contributes the vertical invasion of tumor cells in melanoma. Indeed, the ratio of LL-37-expressing cells correlated positively to T stage severity. Moreover, LL-37 induced pro-angiogenic factors in both human and mouse systems. Our results suggested that LL-37 stimulates both tumor cells and macrophages to promote melanoma invasion by the induction of pro-angiogenic factors. LL-37 can stimulate various skin-resident cells to contribute to tumor development. Since tumor (T) stage is determined by the vertical invasion of tumor cells in melanoma, we hypothesized that the LL-37 expression level is correlated with the T stage in melanoma patients. Immunohistochemical staining of LL-37 was performed in each stage of melanoma (Tis-T4), suggesting the ratio of LL-37-expressing cells correlate positively to T stage severity. Next, to examine pro-angiogenetic factors induced by LL-37 stimulation, the B16F10 melanoma model was used. Intra-tumorally administered CRAMP, the mouse ortologe of LL-37, significantly increased the mRNA expression of CXCL5, IL23A, MMP1a, and MMP9 in B16F10 melanoma. To confirm the induction of pro-angiogenic factors, A375 human melanoma cells were stimulated by LL-37 in vitro. The mRNA expression of CXCL5, IL23A, and MMP9, but not MMP1, were significantly increased by LL-37 stimulation. Moreover, LL-37-stimulated A375 culture supernatant promoted tube networks, suggesting that these tumor-derived factors promote the pro-angiogenic effect on tumor development. In contrast to melanoma cell lines, M2 macrophages stimulated by LL-37 in vitro significantly increased their expression and secretion of MMP-1, but not MMP-9 expression. Collectively, these results suggest that LL-37 stimulates both tumor cells and macrophages to promote melanoma invasion by the induction of pro-angiogenic factors.
