Interaction Between Macrophage Extracellular Traps and Colon Cancer Cells Promotes Colon Cancer Invasion and Correlates With Unfavorable Prognosis
BackgroundMacrophage extracellular traps (METs) and tumor-infiltrating macrophages contribute to the progression of several diseases. But the role of METs and tumor-infiltrating macrophages in colon cancer (CC) has not been illuminated. In this study, we aimed to clarify the prognostic value of METs...

In this study, we aimed to clarify the prognostic value of METs for CC patients and to explore the interaction between CC cells and METs in vitro and in vivo.MethodsA training cohort consisting of 116 patients and a validation cohort of 94 patients were enrolled in this study. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was conducted to determine METs formation in CC patients. Cox regression was used to perform prognostic analysis and screen out the best prognostic model. A nomogram was established to predict 5-year overall survival (OS). The correlation between METs with clinicopathological features and inflammatory markers was analyzed. The formation of METs in vitro was detected by SYTOX® green and IF staining, and the effect of METs on CC cells was detected by transwell assays.

The prognostic model consisting of age, tumors local invasion, lymph node metastasis and METs were confirmed to be consistent and accurate for predicting the 5-year OS of CC patients. Besides, METs were correlated with distant metastasis and inflammation. Through in vitro experiments, we confirmed that there was a positive feedback loop between CC cells and METs, in that METs promoted the invasion of CC cells and CC cells enhanced the production of METs, in turn.
