Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of
malignancy-related mortality in males in the United States. As a solid
tumor, clinically significant tumor growth and metastasis are
dependent on nutrients and oxygen supplied by tumor-associated
neovasculature. As such, there is a selective tumorigenic
advantage for those neoplasms that can produce angiogenic mediators. We
show here that human prostate cancer cell lines can constitutively
produce angiogenic CXC chemokines. Tumorigenesis of PC-3 prostate
cancer cells was shown to be attributable, in part, to
the production of the angiogenic CXC chemokine, interleukin
(IL)-8. Neutralizing antisera to IL-8 inhibits PC-3 tumor growth in a
human prostate cancer/SCID mouse model. Furthermore, angiogenic
activity in PC-3 tumor homogenates was attributable to IL-8. In
contrast, the Du145 prostate cancer cell line uses a different
angiogenic CXC chemokine, GRO-
, to mediate
tumorigenicity. Neutralizing antisera to GRO-
but not IL-8 reduced
tumor growth in vivo and reduced the angiogenic activity
in tumor homogenates. Thus, prostate cancer cell lines can use
distinct CXC chemokines to mediate their tumorigenicity.
