Mucin 1 and venous thrombosis in tumor-bearing mice and patients with cancer

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

INTRODUCTION: Mucins released from epithelial tumors have been proposed to play a role in cancer-associated thrombosis. Mucin1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane mucin that is overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies, including breast and pancreatic cancer. We analyzed the association of MUC1 and venous thrombosis in a mouse tumor model and in patients with cancer.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used a human pancreatic cancer cell line HPAF-II that expresses a high level of MUC1. We grew HPAF-II tumors in the pancreas of Crl:NU-Foxn1nu male mice. MUC1 in plasma and extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from plasma was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. MUC1 in EVs and venous thrombi from tumor-bearing mice was assessed by western blotting. We measured MUC1 in plasma from healthy controls and patients with stomach, colorectal or pancreatic cancer with or without venous thromboembolism.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: MUC1 was detected in the plasma of mice bearing HPAF-II tumors and was associated with EVs. MUC1 was present in venous thrombi from mice bearing HFAP-II tumors. Recombinant MUC1 did not induce platelet aggregation. Levels of MUC1 were higher in patients with pancreatic cancer compared with healthy controls. In contrast to the mouse model, MUC1 was present in EV-free plasma in samples from healthy controls and patients with cancer. There was no significant difference in the levels of MUC1 in cancer patients with or without VTE. Our data did not find any evidence that MUC1 contributed to VTE in patients with cancer.
