要旨

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote tumor growth and progression, and increase drug resistance through several mechanisms. We have investigated the effect of CAFs on the p53 response to doxorubicin in prostate cancer cells. We show that CAFs produce interleukin-6 (IL-6), and that IL-6 attenuates p53 induction and upregulation of the pro-apoptotic p53 target Bax upon treatment with doxorubicin. This is associated with increased levels of MDM2 mRNA, Mdm2 protein bound to p53, and ubiquitinated p53. IL-6 also inhibited doxorubicin-induced cell death. Inhibition of JAK or STAT3 alleviated this effect, indicating that IL-6 attenuates p53 via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. These results suggest that CAF-derived IL-6 plays an important role in protecting cancer cells from chemotherapy and that inhibition of IL-6 could have significant therapeutic value.
