Treatment options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are limited. In this study, we investigated impact of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor 4 (EP4) on RCC metastasis. We found that knockdown of EP4 in two RCC cell lines, ACHN and SN12C, does not affect xenograft tumor take or growth rate in mice, but reduces metastasis by decreasing tumor intravasation. Using chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, we confirmed that blockade of EP4 signaling inhibits tumor intravasation. In vitro studies associated EP4 expression and activity with RCC cell transendothelial migration (TEM).
