BACKGROUND: The anti-angiogenic Sorafenib is the only approved systemic therapy
for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, acquired resistance limits
its efficacy. An emerging theory to explain intrinsic resistance to other
anti-angiogenic drugs is 'vessel co-option,' ie, the ability of tumors to hijack
the existing vasculature in organs such as the lungs or liver, thus limiting the
need for sprouting angiogenesis. Vessel co-option has not been evaluated as a
potential mechanism for acquired resistance to anti-angiogenic agents. METHODS:
To study sorafenib resistance mechanisms, we used an orthotopic human HCC model
(n?=?4-11 per group), where tumor cells are tagged with a secreted protein
biomarker to monitor disease burden and response to therapy. Histopathology,
vessel perfusion assessed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and miRNA sequencing
and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to monitor changes
in tumor biology. RESULTS: While sorafenib initially inhibited angiogenesis and
stabilized tumor growth, no angiogenic 'rebound' effect was observed during
development of resistance unless therapy was stopped. Instead, resistant tumors
became more locally infiltrative, which facilitated extensive incorporation of
liver parenchyma and the co-option of liver-associated vessels. Up to 75%
(±10.9%) of total vessels were provided by vessel co-option in resistant tumors
relative to 23.3% (±10.3%) in untreated controls. miRNA sequencing implicated
pro-invasive signaling and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-like transition during
resistance development while functional imaging further supported a shift from
angiogenesis to vessel co-option. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first documentation of
vessel co-option as a mechanism of acquired resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy
and could have important implications including the potential therapeutic
benefits of targeting vessel co-option in conjunction with vascular endothelial
growth factor receptor signaling.
