ABSTRACT
Metastasis, which is the spread of cancer cells into distant organs, is a critical determinant of prognosis in patients with cancer, and blood vessels are the major route for cancer cells to spread systemically. Extravasation is a critical process for the hematogenous metastasis; however, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identified that senescent ECs highly express C-type lectin domain family 1 member B (CLEC-1b), and that endothelial CLEC-1b inhibits the hematogenous metastasis of a certain type of cancer. CLEC-1b expression was enhanced in ECs isolated from aged mice, senescent cultured human ECs, and ECs of aged human. CLEC-1b overexpression in ECs prevented the disruption of endothelial integrity, and inhibited the transendothelial migration of cancer cells expressing podoplanin (PDPN), a ligand for CLEC-1b. Notably, target activation of CLEC-1b in ECs decreased the hematogenous metastasis in the lungs by cancer cells expressing PDPN in mice. Our data reveal the protective role of endothelial CLEC-1b against cancer hematogenous metastasis. Considering the high CLEC-1b expression in senescent ECs, EC senescence may play a beneficial role with respect to the cancer hematogenous metastasis.
