Despite growing evidence of cancer stem cell (CSC) niches' crucial role in solid tumor progression within the tumor microenvironment (TME), many molecular players in this regulation remain unidentified. Researchers demonstrate that pharmacological β3-AR blockade in B16 melanoma-bearing mice reduces CSC marker expression and induces hematopoietic differentiation in the TME. β3-AR antagonist SR59230A promotes lymphoid/HSC and myeloid progenitor/HSC ratios, increases Ter119 and NK precursor cells, and enhances granulocyte precursors, indicating active hematopoiesis within tumors. Moreover, it induces MSC differentiation into adipocytes, potentially curbing melanoma progression by diminishing stemness traits.
Figure 1. Tumor growth rates were evaluated by researchers in C57BL/6 mice injected with B16-F10 cells, under control, vehicle, propranolol, or SR59230A treatment. Annexin V/PI staining, PI staining using confocal microscopy, Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining, and β2- and β3-ARs immunohistochemical staining in tumor tissues were also examined. The murine B16-F10 melanoma GFP stable cell line was acquired from Creative Biogene. (Calvani M, et al., 2020)
