Vascular pericytes, an important cellular component in the tumor
microenvironment, are often associated with tumor vasculatures, and their
functions in cancer invasion and metastasis are poorly understood. Here we show
that PDGF-BB induces pericyte-fibroblast transition (PFT), which significantly
contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis. Gain- and loss-of-function
experiments demonstrate that PDGF-BB-PDGFR? signaling promotes PFT both in vitro
and in in vivo tumors. Genome-wide expression analysis indicates that
PDGF-BB-activated pericytes acquire mesenchymal progenitor features.
Pharmacological inhibition and genetic deletion of PDGFR? ablate the
PDGF-BB-induced PFT. Genetic tracing of pericytes with two independent mouse
strains, TN-AP-CreERT2:R26R-tdTomato and NG2-CreERT2:R26R-tdTomato, shows that
PFT cells gain stromal fibroblast and myofibroblast markers in tumors.
Importantly, coimplantation of PFT cells with less-invasive tumor cells in mice
markedly promotes tumor dissemination and invasion, leading to an increased
number of circulating tumor cells and metastasis. Our findings reveal a mechanism
of vascular pericytes in PDGF-BB-promoted cancer invasion and metastasis by
inducing PFT, and thus targeting PFT may offer a new treatment option of cancer
metastasis.
