Supplementary Figure 4. Comparison of IL-8 serum concentrations with the serum concentration of IL-6 and c-reactive protein (CRP) in available samples from 14 melanoma and 19 RCC patients from Figure 2A. (**, p

Supplementary Figure 1B. Time course of the serum concentrations of IL-8 (lower panels) and tumor volume (upper panels) in Rag2-/-IL2Rγc-/- mice xenografted with the indicated cell lines. Individual mice are represented and at the time point indicated by the arrow the tumor was surgically removed. Serum IL-8 concentrations are depicted at 2h and 24h after surgery.

Supplementary Figure 2. Serum IL-8 levels before (day -1) and after (day 5-7) disease-reduction surgery of 7 patients: 1 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); 2 colorectal carcinoma (CRC); 1 pancreatic cancer (PC); 3 renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Supplementary Figure 3. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of the mRNA encoding IL-8 in malignant cells from the biopsy of three melanoma patients. The serum IL-8 levels at the time of the biopsy from each patient is provided under the graph.

Purpose: Interleukin-8 (IL8) is a chemokine produced by malignant cells of multiple cancer types. It exerts various functions in shaping protumoral vascularization and inflammation/immunity. We evaluated sequential levels of serum IL8 in preclinical tumor models and in patients to assess its ability to estimate tumor burden.Experimental Design: IL8 levels were monitored by sandwich ELISAs in cultured tumor cells supernatants, tumor-xenografted mice serum, and in samples from 126 patients with cancer. We correlated IL8 serum levels with baseline tumor burden and with treatment-induced changes in tumor burden, as well as with prognosis.Results: IL8 concentrations correlated with the number of IL8-producing tumor cells in culture. In xenografted neoplasms, IL8 serum levels rapidly dropped after surgical excision, indicating an accurate correlation with tumor burden. In patients with melanoma (n = 16), renal cell carcinoma (RCC; n = 23), non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; n = 21), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; n = 30), serum IL8 concentrations correlated with tumor burden and stage, survival (melanoma, n = 16; RCC, n = 23; HCC, n = 33), and objective responses to therapy, including those to BRAF inhibitors (melanoma, n = 16) and immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies (melanoma, n = 8). IL8 concentrations in urine (n = 18) were mainly elevated in tumors with direct contact with the urinary tract.Conclusions: IL8 levels correlate with tumor burden in preclinical models and in patients with cancer. IL8 is a potentially useful biomarker to monitor changes in tumor burden following anticancer therapy, and has prognostic significance. Clin Cancer Res; 20(22); 5697–707. ©2014 AACR.
