CCL20 production was verified by immunohistochemistry in different tumour tissues and correlated with clinical data. The effects of CCL20 on endothelial cell migration and tumour-associated vascularisation were comprehensively analysed with chemotaxis assays in vitro and in CCR6-deficient mice in vivo.\r\nResults: Tumours facilitate progression by the EGFR/Ras-induced production of CCL20. Expression of the chemokine CCL20 in tumours correlates with advanced tumour stage, increased lymph node metastasis and decreased survival in patients. Microvascular endothelial cells abundantly express the specific CCL20 receptor CCR6. CCR6 signalling in endothelial cells induces angiogenesis. CCR6-deficient mice show significantly decreased tumour growth and tumour-associated vascularisation. The observed phenotype is dependent on CCR6 deficiency in stromal cells but not within the immune system.\r\nConclusion: We propose that the chemokine axis CCL20–CCR6 represents a novel and promising target to interfere with the tumour microenvironment, and opens an innovative multimodal strategy for cancer therapy.","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"checksum":"05a8e65d49c3f5b8e37ac4afe68287e2","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","creator":"cchlebak","file_name":"2020_BrJournalCancer_Hippe.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2021-12-02T12:35:12Z","date_created":"2021-12-02T12:35:12Z","file_size":3620691,"success":1,"file_id":"10398"}],"type":"journal_article","day":"15","month":"09","article_processing_charge":"No","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"pmid":1,"date_updated":"2023-08-22T07:51:12Z","acknowledgement":"The authors would like to thank A. van Lierop for technical assistance.
