    Techniques Used: Migration, Expressing, Western Blot, Double Immunofluorescence Staining, Recombinant, Control

    Biglycan (BGN) promotes proliferation, migration, and activation of macrophages and fibroblasts. ( A ) Cell–cell communication network analysis of BGN -expressing cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues. Fibroblasts in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) datasets from ESCC tissues were stratified into CAF_ BGN _High (scaled expression > 3) and CAF_ BGN _Low (≤3) groups based on BGN expression levels. Cell–cell communication inferred by CellChat revealed that CAF_ BGN _High cells exhibited strong outgoing signaling toward epithelial and myeloid cells, as well as prominent autocrine signaling within the CAF_ BGN _High population. ( B , C ) MTS assay ( B ) and Transwell migration assay ( C ) showing increased proliferation and migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) treated with recombinant human BGN (rhBGN; 100 ng/mL), respectively. ( D ) Western Blot analysis showing that fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) (CAF markers) were upregulated in MSCs treated with rhBGN for 24 h, whereas interleukin-6 (IL6) expression remained unchanged. TLR4 expression was detected; however, phosphorylation of NF-κB and Erk was not increased by rhBGN. ( E , F ) MTS assay ( E ) and Transwell migration assay ( F ) showing that rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration of MSCs were not suppressed by a TLR4-neutralizing antibody (1 μg/mL). ( G , H ) MTS assay ( G ) and Transwell migration assay ( H ) showing increased proliferation and migration of macrophages treated with rhBGN (100 ng/mL), respectively. ( I ) Western Blot analysis showing that rhBGN treatment upregulated the expression of CD163 and CD206 (M2 macrophage markers) and increased NF-κB phosphorylation, while TLR4 expression was also detected, but phosphorylated Erk was not changed. ( J , K ) MTS assay ( J ) and Transwell migration assay ( K ) showing that rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration of macrophages were attenuated by treatment with a TLR4-neutralizing antibody (1 μg/mL), respectively. ( L , M ) MTS assay ( L ) and Transwell migration assay ( M ) showing that treatment with the NF-κB pathway inhibitor Bay 11-7082 (1 μM) attenuated rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration to a similar extent, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) from three independent experiments ( B , C , E – H , J – M ). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. N.S., not significant. Scale bars: 100 μm ( C , F , H , K , M ).

    A schematic illustration of the role of BGN in the tumor–stromal interactions among ESCC cells, CAFs, and macrophages. BGN secreted from MSCs that have undergone CAF transition upon direct contact with ESCC cells promotes ESCC cell proliferation and migration through the TLR4–Erk/NF-κB signaling pathways. In addition, BGN enhances the proliferation and migration of MSCs and induces their differentiation into CAFs. Furthermore, BGN promotes the proliferation and migration of macrophages and drives their polarization toward the M2 phenotype through the TLR4–NF-κB signaling pathways.

    Biglycan (BGN) promotes proliferation and migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells through its receptor TLR4. ( A ) Expression of TLR4 in ESCC cells was confirmed by Western Blotting. ( B ) Double immunofluorescence staining for BGN (green) and TLR4 (red) was performed in ESCC cells treated with recombinant human BGN (rhBGN; 100 ng/mL). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). ( C , D ) MTS assays ( C ) and Transwell migration assays ( D ) were conducted to evaluate changes in the proliferation ( C ) and migration ( D ) of TE-9, TE-10, and TE-15 cells following treatment with rhBGN (100 ng/mL) in the presence of a TLR4-neutralizing antibody (1 μg/mL) or control immunoglobulin G (IgG; 1 μg/mL). Migrated cells were counted in five representative microscopic fields after 48 h, and representative images are shown beneath the graphs ( D ). The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) from three independent experiments ( C , D ). ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Scale bars: 20 μm ( B ) and 100 μm ( D ).

    Biglycan (BGN) promotes proliferation, migration, and activation of macrophages and fibroblasts. ( A ) Cell–cell communication network analysis of BGN -expressing cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues. Fibroblasts in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) datasets from ESCC tissues were stratified into CAF_ BGN _High (scaled expression > 3) and CAF_ BGN _Low (≤3) groups based on BGN expression levels. Cell–cell communication inferred by CellChat revealed that CAF_ BGN _High cells exhibited strong outgoing signaling toward epithelial and myeloid cells, as well as prominent autocrine signaling within the CAF_ BGN _High population. ( B , C ) MTS assay ( B ) and Transwell migration assay ( C ) showing increased proliferation and migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) treated with recombinant human BGN (rhBGN; 100 ng/mL), respectively. ( D ) Western Blot analysis showing that fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) (CAF markers) were upregulated in MSCs treated with rhBGN for 24 h, whereas interleukin-6 (IL6) expression remained unchanged. TLR4 expression was detected; however, phosphorylation of NF-κB and Erk was not increased by rhBGN. ( E , F ) MTS assay ( E ) and Transwell migration assay ( F ) showing that rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration of MSCs were not suppressed by a TLR4-neutralizing antibody (1 μg/mL). ( G , H ) MTS assay ( G ) and Transwell migration assay ( H ) showing increased proliferation and migration of macrophages treated with rhBGN (100 ng/mL), respectively. ( I ) Western Blot analysis showing that rhBGN treatment upregulated the expression of CD163 and CD206 (M2 macrophage markers) and increased NF-κB phosphorylation, while TLR4 expression was also detected, but phosphorylated Erk was not changed. ( J , K ) MTS assay ( J ) and Transwell migration assay ( K ) showing that rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration of macrophages were attenuated by treatment with a TLR4-neutralizing antibody (1 μg/mL), respectively. ( L , M ) MTS assay ( L ) and Transwell migration assay ( M ) showing that treatment with the NF-κB pathway inhibitor Bay 11-7082 (1 μM) attenuated rhBGN-induced proliferation and migration to a similar extent, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) from three independent experiments ( B , C , E – H , J – M ). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. N.S., not significant. Scale bars: 100 μm ( C , F , H , K , M ).

    A schematic illustration of the role of BGN in the tumor–stromal interactions among ESCC cells, CAFs, and macrophages. BGN secreted from MSCs that have undergone CAF transition upon direct contact with ESCC cells promotes ESCC cell proliferation and migration through the TLR4–Erk/NF-κB signaling pathways. In addition, BGN enhances the proliferation and migration of MSCs and induces their differentiation into CAFs. Furthermore, BGN promotes the proliferation and migration of macrophages and drives their polarization toward the M2 phenotype through the TLR4–NF-κB signaling pathways.
