Oncologic Trogocytosis of an Original Stromal Cells Induces Chemoresistance of Ovarian Tumours

Abstract: BackgroundThe microenvironment plays a major role in the onset and progression of metastasis. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tends to metastasize to the peritoneal cavity where interactions within the microenvironment might lead to chemoresistance. Mesothelial cells are important actors of the peritoneal homeostasis; we determined their role in the acquisition of chemoresistance of ovarian tumours.Methodology/Principal FindingsWe isolated an original type of stromal cells, referred to as “Hospicells” from asc… Show more

“…In addition, the uptake of multidrug resistance proteins by ovarian cancer cells resulted in decreased sensitivity of tumor cells toward chemotherapeutic drugs (17). Together, these data implicate that trogocytosis plays an important role in the modulation of cellular immune responses.…”

“…Human and murine T cells exchange molecules with DCs in a bidirectional manner (12). Trogocytosis is a ubiquitous phenomenon as it is observed for T cells, DCs, B cells, NK cells, tumor cells, and other immune cells (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Moreover, trogocytosis of membrane patches was not only described in vitro, but also in vivo in mice (19).…”

“…In addition to these well-known examples, other cellular structures involved in cell-cell communication have been identified (1). A frequent result of cell-cell communication is collective population behavior that can potentially lead to complex phenotypes not observed in separate individual cells, for example, in development or tumor formation (2,3). Immune responses against pathogens or any foreign antigens require fine immune regulation, where cellular communications are mediated by either soluble or cell surface molecules.…”

“…These ABC transporters are physiologically expressed by normal cells to maintain hermetically closed biological barriers, particularly the intestinal mucosa and the blood-brain barrier, but cancer cells are able to activate their transcription to gain protection 20 J. Clairambault Cell proliferation control and cancer treatment against anticancer agents when normal cells are not. Moreover, at least one of these transporters (the P-glycoprotein, or P-gp) may be exchanged by trogocytosis (membrane fusion) between tumour cells and special stromal cells (the so-called "hospicells"), to confer acquired resistance to these tumour cells [226]. It is a goal for pharmaceutical companies to develop ABC transporter inhibitors, that can be associated in combined treatments with the drug they are known to expel, and partial success have been obtained toward this aim by drugs such as Verapamil, Ciclosporin and others [129], some of them specific of such blockade, as Zosuquidar, that has proved activity in treated Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML) [256].…”
