Coordinating Effect of VEGFC and Oleic Acid Participates to Tumor Lymphangiogenesis

Résumé

In cancer, the lymphatic system is hijacked by tumor cells that escape from primary tumor and metastasize to the sentinel lymph nodes. Tumor lymphangiogenesis is stimulated by the vascular endothelial growth factors-C (VEGFC) after binding to its receptor VEGFR-3. However, how VEGFC cooperates with other molecules to promote lymphatics growth has not been fully determined. We showed that lymphangiogenesis developed in tumoral lesions and in surrounding adipose tissue (AT). Interestingly, lymphatic vessel density correlated with an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) in the lymph from tumor-bearing mice. We showed that adipocyte-released FFA are uploaded by lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) to stimulate their sprouting. Lipidomic analysis identified the monounsaturated oleic acid (OA) as the major circulating FFA in the lymph in a tumoral context. OA transporters FATP-3, -6 and CD36 were only upregulated on LEC in the presence of VEGFC showing a collaborative effect of these molecules. OA stimulates fatty acid β-oxidation in LECs, leading to increased AT lymphangiogenesis. Our results provide new insights on the dialogue between tumors and adipocytes via the lymphatic system and identify a key role for adipocyte-derived FFA in the promotion of lymphangiogenesis, revealing novel therapeutic opportunities for inhibitors of lymphangiogenesis in cancer.
