Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are frequently found near pancreatic cancer cells, but it is uncertain whether they are involved in pancreatic cancer progression and the Warburg effect. Here, we show that CCL18 secreted by TAMs facilitates malignant progression and induced a glycolytic phenotype in pancreatic cancer, partially owing to paracrine induction of VCAM-1 in pancreatic cancer cells. Reciprocally, VCAM-1-induced lactate production from pancreatic cancer cells with enhanced aerobic glycolysis activates macrophages to a TAM-like phenotype, forming a positive feedback loop. VCAM-1 was found to be highly expressed in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissues and cell lines, and is associated with disease progression and predicts clinical outcome in PDAC patients. Flow cytometry analysis further demonstrated that VCAM-1 downregulation induced an accumulation of PDAC cells in G0/G1 phase, accompanied by a significant decrease in S phase. Downregulation of VCAM-1 significantly inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of PDAC cellsin vitro, whereas the ectopic expression of VCAM-1 had the opposite effect. VCAM-1 on pancreatic cancer cells might tethers THP-1 monocytes to cancer cells via counter–receptor interaction, providing a survival advantage to pancreatic cancer cells that infiltrate leukocyte-rich microenvironments. Furthermore, downregulation of VCAM-1 could repress tumor growth in mouse xenograft models. In particular, our results highlighted the contribution of VCAM-1 to the maintenance of the Warburg effect in PDAC cells. Finally, we investigated the clinical correlations of CCL18 and VCAM-1 in human PDAC specimens. In summary, these findings indicate that the CCL18/PITPNM3/NF-kB/VCAM-1 regulatory network might provide a potential new therapeutic strategy for PDAC.
