Abstract

There is a strong correlation between obesity and cancer. Here, we investigated the influence of IL-6 and gut microbiota of obese mice in melanoma development. We first evaluated B16F10 melanoma growth in preclinical models for obesity: mice deficient for leptin (ob/ob) or adiponectin (AdpKO) and in wild-type mice (WT, C57BL/6J) fed a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 12 weeks. The survival rates of ob/ob and HFD-fed mice were lower than those of their respective controls. AdpKO mice also died earlier than WT control mice. We then verified the involvement of IL-6 signaling in obese mice that were inoculated with melanoma cells. Both ob/ob and AdpKO mice had higher circulating IL-6 levels than wild-type mice. Melanoma tumor volumes in IL-6 KO mice fed an HFD were reduced compared to those of WT mice subjected to the same diet. Also evaluated the effect of microbiota in tumor development. Cohousing and fecal matter transfer experiments revealed that microbiota from ob/ob mice can stimulate tumor development in lean WT mice. Taken together, our data show that in some conditions IL-6 and the gut microbiota are key mediators that link obesity and melanoma. (AU)
