BACKGROUND: High mammographic density has been correlated with a 4-fold to 6-fold
increased risk of developing breast cancer, and is associated with increased
stromal deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen I. The
molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for high breast tissue density are
not completely understood. METHODS: We previously described accelerated tumor
formation and metastases in a transgenic mouse model of collagen-dense mammary
tumors (type I collagen-?1 (Col1?1)(tm1Jae) and mouse mammary tumor virus -
polyoma virus middle T antigen (MMTV-PyVT)) compared to wild-type mice. Using
ELISA cytokine arrays and multi-color flow cytometry analysis, we studied
cytokine signals and the non-malignant, immune cells in the collagen-dense tumor
microenvironment that may promote accelerated tumor progression and metastasis.
RESULTS: Collagen-dense tumors did not show any alteration in immune cell
populations at late stages. The cytokine signals in the mammary tumor
microenvironment were clearly different between wild-type and collagen-dense
tumors. Cytokines associated with neutrophil signaling, such as granulocyte
monocyte-colony stimulated factor (GM-CSF), were increased in collagen-dense
tumors. Depleting neutrophils with anti-Ly6G (1A8) significantly reduced the
number of tumors, and blocked metastasis in over 80 % of mice with collagen-dense
tumors, but did not impact tumor growth or metastasis in wild-type mice.
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that tumor progression in a collagen-dense
microenvironment is mechanistically different, with pro-tumor neutrophils,
compared to a non-dense microenvironment.
