Title : The role of transforming growth factor-?1 signaling pathway during the process of angiogenesis induced by chronic stress in colorectal cancer

Abstract:

Chronic stress could induce stress-related hormone (SRH), including norepinephrine (NE). In this study, chronic restraint stress (CRS) was demonstrated to attenuate the efficacy of bevacizumab and promote tumor growth and angiogenesis in a colorectal tumor model. Propranolol, blocked this effect and inhibited the elevation of TGF-β1 caused by CRS or NE. Furthermore, we found that NE up-regulated HIF-1α expression, which was reversed by propranolol and Ly2157299 (the inhibitor of TGF-β receptor Type I kinase). Therefore, β-AR/TGF-β1 signaling/HIF-1α/VEGF was a signaling pathway involved in chronic stress-related tumor angiogenesis.

 Audience Take aways:

  • This study indicates that psychosocial stress could weaken the efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy in colorectal cancer.
  • Propranolol blocked chronic stress-stimulated tumor growth and angiogenesis
  • Norepinephrine induced TGF-β1 and HIF-1α expression leading to VEGF secretion.
  • It also indicates that psychosocial stress might be a risk factor in cancer patients.
