Induction of the MCP Chemokine Cluster Cascade in the Periphery by Cancer Cell-Derived CCL3

The induction of localized pro-inflammatory niches in the periphery is instrumental in metastasis. In order to better understand how tumors engage distal sites and activate a pro-inflammatory response we utilized syngeneic breast cancers as a model and showed that soluble factors from the neoplastic epithelium activate the expression of the monocyte chemoatractive protein (MCP) chemokines of the mouse 11C cluster that include Ccl1, Ccl2, Ccl7, Ccl8, Ccl11 and Ccl12. Tissues such as the lungs and the brain, that are more prone to colonization by breast cancer cells, were more sensitive to MCP cluster chemokine induction than others such as the liver.
