摘要

Breast involution following pregnancy has been implicated in the high rates of metastasisobserved in postpartum breast cancers; however, it is not clear how this remodelingprocess promotes metastasis. Here, we demonstrate that human postpartum breast cancershave increased peritumor lymphatic vessel density that correlates with increased frequencyof lymph node metastases. Moreover, lymphatic vessel density was increased in normalpostpartum breast tissue compared with tissue from nulliparous women. In rodents, mammarylymphangiogenesis was upregulated during weaning-induced mammary gland involution.Furthermore, breast cancer cells exposed to the involuting mammary microenvironmentacquired prolymphangiogenic properties that contributed to peritumor lymphatic expansion,tumor size, invasion, and distant metastases. Finally, in rodent models of postpartumbreast cancer, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition during the involution window decreasednormal mammary gland lymphangiogenesis, mammary tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis, tumorcell invasion into lymphatics, and metastasis. Our data indicate that physiologicCOX-2–dependent lymphangiogenesis occurs in the postpartum mammary gland andsuggest that tumors within this mammary microenvironment acquire enhancedprolymphangiogenic activity. Further, our results suggest that the prolymphangiogenicmicroenvironment of the postpartum mammary gland has potential as a target to inhibitmetastasis and suggest that further study of the therapeutic efficacy of COX-2 inhibitorsin postpartum breast cancer is warranted.
