The relevance of angiogenesis in tumor biology and as a therapeutic target is well established. MFG-E8 (also termed lactadherin) and developmental endothelial locus 1 (Del1) constitute a two-gene family of alpha(v)beta(3)/beta(5) ligands that regulate angiogenesis. After detecting MFG-E8 mWNA in murine tumor cell lines, we sought to determine if MFG-ES influenced tumorigenesis in Rip1-Tag2 transgenic mice, a cancer model in which angiogenesis is critical. MFG-E8 mRNA and protein were increased in angiogenic islets and tumors in Rip1-Tag2 mice compared with normal pancreas. Frequencies of angiogenic islets and tumor burdens were decreased in MFGE8-deficient Rip1-Tag2 mice compared with those in control Rip1-Tag2 mice. Invasive carcinomas were modestly under-represented in MFG-E8-deficient mice, but tumor frequencies and survivals were comparable in these two strains. Absence of MFG-E8 also led to decreases in tumor vascular permeability without obvious changes in vascular morphology. Decreased proliferation was noted in angiogenic islets and increases in apoptotic cells were detected in islets and tumors. Compensaton increases in mmRNA encoding proangiogenic proteins, including FGF2, in angiogenic islets, and Dell, in angiogenic islets and tumors, were also detected in MFG-E8-deficient mice. MFG-ES and its homologue Dell may represent relevant targets in cancer and other diseases in which angiogenesis is prominent.
