Despite the important role that mechanical forces play in tumor growth and
therapy, the contribution of swelling to tumor mechanopathology remains
unexplored. Tumors rich in hyaluronan exhibit a highly negative fixed charge
density. Repulsive forces among these negative charges as well as swelling of
cancer cells due to regulation of intracellular tonicity can cause tumor swelling
and development of stress that might compress blood vessels, compromising tumor
perfusion and drug delivery. Here, we designed an experimental strategy, using
four orthotopic tumor models, to measure swelling stress and related swelling to
extracellular matrix components, hyaluronan and collagen, as well as to tumor
perfusion. Subsequently, interventions were performed to measure tumor swelling
using matrix-modifying enzymes (hyaluronidase and collagenase) and by repurposing
pirfenidone, an approved antifibrotic drug. Finally, in vitro experiments on
cancer cell spheroids were performed to identify their contribution to tissue
swelling. Swelling stress was measured in the range of 16 to 75 mm Hg, high
enough to cause vessel collapse. Interestingly, while depletion of hyaluronan
decreased swelling, collagen depletion had the opposite effect, whereas the
contribution of cancer cells was negligible. Furthermore, histological analysis
revealed the same linear correlation between tumor swelling and the ratio of
hyaluronan to collagen content when data from all tumor models were combined. Our
data further revealed an inverse relation between tumor perfusion and swelling,
suggesting that reduction of swelling decompresses tumor vessels. These results
provide guidelines for emerging therapeutic strategies that target the tumor
microenvironment to alleviate intratumoral stresses and improve vessel
functionality and drug delivery.
