AbstractPurpose: Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric tumor that is derived from improperly differentiated neural crest cells (NCC). We recently revealed that endocrine gland - derived vascular endothelial growth factor/prokineticin-1 (EG-VEGF/Prok-1) is a key factor mediating the growth and differentiation of enteric NCCs during development. In this report, we further elucidate its role in neuroblastoma progression. Experimental Design: We studied the expression and copy number of EG-VEGF/Prok-1 receptors (PK-R1 and PK-R2) in 26 neuroblastoma tumors by real-time reverse transcription-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis. Implication of EG-VEGF/Prok-1 signaling in neuroblastoma progression was further shown in a neuroblastoma cell line (SK-N-SH). Results: We found that all neuroblastoma samples from stages II to IV expressed both PK-R1 and PK-R2. Kruskall-Wallis signed rank tests revealed that the expression level of PK-R1 transcript is associated with the stages and metastasis of the neuroblastoma (P < 0.05), and PK-R2 is persistently higher in advanced-stage neuroblastoma samples. About 38% of the neuroblastoma tumors (10:26) possessed MYCN amplification, whereas no PK-R1 and PK-R2 amplifications were detected, suggesting that the overexpression of the receptors was not due to gene amplification. Subsequent functional studies showed that EG-VEGF/Prok-1 activates the Akt pathway to induce the proliferation of neuroblastoma cells. Targeted down-regulation studies revealed that EG-VEGF/Prok-1 - mediated proliferation requires the presence of these two receptors, and that PK-R2 is essential for inhibiting apoptosis. In vitro migration and invasion assays also indicated that EG-VEGF/Prok-1 significantly enhances the cell migration/invasion of SK-N-SH. Conclusions: Our study has shown for the first time that aberrant EG-VEGF/Prok-1 signaling favors neuroblastoma progression and could be a potential target for future neuroblastoma treatment. © 2007 American Association for Cancer Research.
