Abstract
As vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), released into the tumor microenvironment stimulates motogenic and mitogenic activity of normal and transformed cells. In the present study, we investigate the effects of IL-3 and VEGF on neoplastic vascular growth. Engagement of IL-3 receptor β common (IL-3R βc) contributes to both IL-3- and VEGF-induced Rac1 activation, cell migration and in vitro tube-like structure formation as shown by the expression of the dominant-negative IL-3R βc construct (Δ455). In normal and transformed endothelial cells (EC) as well as in HEK 293 cells expressing KDR and IL-3R, VEGF and IL-3 treatment induces the formation of a KDR/IL-3R βc complex. Moreover, as shown by the IL-3R Δ455 mutant or by the kinase dead KDR, functional receptors are required for this interaction. Consistent with the contribution of IL-3R βc in both IL-3- and VEGF-mediated angiogenic signal, a reduced number of vessels inside tumors are found in mice injected with cells expressing the IL-3R Δ455 mutant. Thus, these findings provide a novel mechanism through which IL-3 and VEGF support cell survival and tumor neovascularization.
