Abstract

Inflammation is a major driver of tumor progression and metastasis, although the mechanisms by which proinflammatory cytokines drive metastatic invasion are unknown. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that is elevated in individuals with pancreatic cancer (PDAC), is required for PDAC progression in mice, and increases tumor cell invasion in vitro Here, we provide insights into the mechanisms by which IL-6 activates tumor cell invasion. We found that IL-6 stimulation rapidly and robustly activates the small GTPase cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) in human PDAC cells and promotes the formation of premigratory filopodia. The CDC42 activation was required for IL-6-induced invasion as blocking CDC42 activity rendered the cells insensitive to IL-6's proinvasive effects. Loss of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) or signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) prevented IL-6-mediated CDC42 activation, indicating that IL-6 activates CDC42 through both JAK2 and STAT3. However, the rapid activation of CDC42 suggested that this activation may be distinct from canonical STAT3-mediated transcriptional activation. Importantly, we observed an interaction between STAT3 and IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (...Continue Reading
