Lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels, is a normal event in childhood but promotes tumor spread and metastasis during adulthood. Blocking lymphangiogenesis may therefore be of therapeutic interest. Production of adenosine is enhanced in the tumor environment and contributes to tumor progression through stimulation of angiogenesis. In this study, we determined whether adenosine affects lymphangiogenesis.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Lymphatic endothelial cells (HMVEC-dLy) were cultured in presence of adenosine and their proliferation, migration and tube formation was assessed. Gelatin sponges embedded with the stable analogue of adenosine 2-chloro adenosine were implanted in mice ear and lymphangiogenesis was quantified. Mice were intravenously injected with adenoviruses containing expression vector for 5′-endonucleotidase, which plays a major role in the formation of adenosine.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>In vitro, we observed that adenosine decreased the proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells, their migration and tube formation. However, in vivo, gelatin sponges containing 2-chloro adenosine and implanted in mice ear displayed an elevated level of lymphangiogenesis (2.5-fold, p<0.001). Adenovirus-mediated over-expression of cytosolic 5′-nucleotidase IA stimulated lymphangiogenesis and the recruitment of macrophages in mouse liver. Proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells was enhanced (2-fold, p<0.001) when incubated in the presence of conditioned medium from murine macrophages.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>We have shown that adenosine stimulates lymphangiogenesis in vivo, presumably through a macrophage-mediated mechanism. This observation suggests that blockade of adenosine receptors may help in anti-cancer therapies.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name

Lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels, is a normal event in childhood but promotes tumor spread and metastasis during adulthood.

Production of adenosine is enhanced in the tumor environment and contributes to tumor progression through stimulation of angiogenesis. In this study, we determined whether adenosine affects lymphangiogenesis.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Lymphatic endothelial cells (HMVEC-dLy) were cultured in presence of adenosine and their proliferation, migration and tube formation was assessed. Gelatin sponges embedded with the stable analogue of adenosine 2-chloro adenosine were implanted in mice ear and lymphangiogenesis was quantified. Mice were intravenously injected with adenoviruses containing expression vector for 5′-endonucleotidase, which plays a major role in the formation of adenosine.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>In vitro, we observed that adenosine decreased the proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells, their migration and tube formation. However, in vivo, gelatin sponges containing 2-chloro adenosine and implanted in mice ear displayed an elevated level of lymphangiogenesis (2.5-fold, p<0.001). Adenovirus-mediated over-expression of cytosolic 5′-nucleotidase IA stimulated lymphangiogenesis and the recruitment of macrophages in mouse liver. Proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells was enhanced (2-fold, p<0.001) when incubated in the presence of conditioned medium from murine macrophages.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>We have shown that adenosine stimulates lymphangiogenesis in vivo, presumably through a macrophage-mediated mechanism.

We first used a collagen lymphangiogenesis assay with gelatin sponges. Sponges were embedded in collagen containing either the stable analogue of adenosine 2-chloro adenosine (CADO), VEGF-C as a positive control, or the A2b receptor antagonist MRS1754. Sponges were implanted between the two skin layers of mice ear. PBS or MRS1754 were injected at the apex of the ear every two days. After 3 weeks, sponges were removed, frozen and sliced for immunostaining for LYVE-1 lymphatic marker. As expected, sponges containing VEGF-C displayed a higher level of lymphangiogenesis compared to control condition, as assessed by the area of the sponges occupied by lymphatic vessels (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092715-g005">Fig.5</xref>). Interestingly, a 2.5-fold increase in lymphatic vessels was observed in CADO-containing sponges, as compared to control. This increase was blunted by MRS1754. Of note, administration of MRS1754 alone did not affect lymphangiogenesis (not shown).

In vitro experiments showed that adenosine inhibits the proliferation and migration of cultured lymphatic endothelial cells. Most importantly, we observed that adenosine stimulates lymphangiogenesis in vivo, which might have therapeutic potential.</p><p>Since our initial hypothesis was that adenosine may directly bind to adenosine receptors present at the surface of LEC, we started our investigation with in vitro experiments involving cultured human primary LEC. We observed that adenosine consistently decreased cell proliferation and migration. This was not a consequence of cell death since adenosine was not cytotoxic for concentrations up to 10 μM. Adenosine had the optimal inhibitory effect at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10 μM, which are observed in the setting of pathological conditions such as ischemia. Indeed, physiological concentrations of adenosine are generally in the submicromolar range. Pharmacological in vitro studies with agonists of adenosine receptors suggested that the A2b receptor mediates the anti-proliferative effect of adenosine on LEC.</p><p>Surprisingly, we observed opposite effects in the whole animal, i.e. adenosine stimulated lymphangiogenesis. This observation was made in mice implanted with a gelatin sponge containing the stable analog of adenosine CADO, and in mice injected with an adenoviral vector encoding the sequence of the 5′-nucleotidase which results in over-production of adenosine <xref rid="pone.0092715-SalaNewby1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0092715-SalaNewby2" ref-type="bibr">[26]</xref>. In mice implanted with gelatin sponges, we observed a blockade of the pro-lymphangiogenic effects of adenosine by MRS1754, an antagonist of adenosine A2b receptor, supporting the involvement of this sub-type of receptor in the effect of adenosine.</p><p>A possibility to explain the apparent discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo experiments may be the need for a microenvironment. Indeed, our data showing enhanced presence of macrophages in the liver where the adenovirus encoding 5′-nucleotidase accumulates suggest that adenosine stimulates lymphangiogenesis indirectly through macrophages. Accordingly, macrophages have been shown to drive lymphangiogenesis in different pathological conditions by secreting growth factors such as VEGF-C and VEGF-D <xref rid="pone.0092715-UtreraBarillas1" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0092715-Detry1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0092715-Ji1" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0092715-Ferrante1" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>.

Although we failed to demonstrate that adenosine induces the production of VEGF-C by cultured macrophages (not shown), the possibility remains that adenosine may trigger the secretion of other pro-lymphangiogenic factors by macrophages.</p><p>The involvement of macrophages in the stimulation of lymphangiogenesis by adenosine is indirectly suggested by our present data showing that conditioned medium from macrophages, but not adenosine itself, stimulates LEC proliferation, and by the capacity of adenosine to enhance the migration of macrophages. Furthermore, a recent report by Keshet's group showed that VEGF induced the recruitment of circulating Ly6C<sup>hi</sup> monocytes to the liver and endowed them with pro-angiogenic and pro-arteriogenic properties which stimulate vascularization <xref rid="pone.0092715-AvrahamDavidi1" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref>. To which extent infiltrated monocytes/macrophages, resident Kupffer cells and M-LEC contribute to the stimulation of lymphangiogenesis by adenosine is currently unknown.</p><p>A similar discrepancy in the in vitro and in vivo effects of adenosine in LEC observed in the present study is less expected to occur in vascular endothelial cells. Indeed, we previously reported that adenosine stimulates the production of VEGF-A by cultured macrophages <xref rid="pone.0092715-Ernens1" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref> and it is known that adenosine has pro-angiogenic properties in vivo (unpublished data and <xref rid="pone.0092715-Feoktistov1" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref> for review). Thus, adenosine directly and indirectly activates angiogenesis, which confers its role in tissue vascularization and repair.</p><p>Knowledge of the effects of adenosine on lymphangiogenesis, in addition to its effects on angiogenesis, finds its relevance in multiple biomedical fields such as oncology and any disease with an inflammatory component or a cellular stress.
