Learn MoreWe have shown that activin promoted skin tumorigenesis in mice induced by the human papilloma virus 8 oncogenes. Activin attracted blood monocytes to the skin as revealed by depletion of CCR2-positive monocytes. To determine if activin also altered the gene expression profile of these cells, we performed RNA-Sequencing of macrophages FACS-sorted from the pre-cancerous ear skin. We have found that activin induces a pro-migratiory, pro-angiogenic and pro-tumorigenic genes in skin macrophages in vivo. This largely contributes to the pro-tumorigenic function of activin, since macrophage depletion delayed spontaneous tumorigenesis in HPV8-transgenic mice by reducing keratinocyte proliferation and angiogenesis.
