Local Production of Acute Phase Proteins: A Defense Reaction of Cancer Cells to Injury with Focus on Fibrinogen.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2024 March 20
This review is intended to demonstrate that the local production of acute phase proteins (termed local acute phase response (lAPR)) and especially fibrin/fibrinogen (FN) is a defense mechanism of cancer cells to therapy, and inhibition of the lAPR can augment the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Previously we detected a lAPR accompanying tumor cell death during the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) in mice. We observed a similar lAPR in in hypoxic mouse kidneys. In both models, production of FN chains was predominant among the locally produced acute phase proteins. The production and extracellular release of FN into the tumor microenvironment is a known method of self-defense in tumor cells. We propose that the lAPR is a new, novel cellular defense mechanism like the heat shock response (HSR). In this review, we demonstrate a potential synergism between FN inhibition and mEHT in cancer treatment, suggesting that the effectiveness of mEHT and chemotherapy can be enhanced by inhibiting the HSR and/or the lAPR. Non-anticoagulant inhibition of FN offers potential new therapeutic options for cancer treatment.
