CD276 is an important player in macrophage recruitment into the tumor and an upstream regulator for PAI-1.

ABSTRACT: More than 70% of colorectal, prostate, ovarian, pancreatic and breast cancer specimens show expression of CD276 (B7-H3), a potential immune checkpoint family member. Several studies have shown that high CD276 expression in cancer cells correlates with a poor clinical prognosis. This has been associated with the presence of lower tumor infiltrating leukocytes. Among those, tumor-associated macrophages can comprise up to 50% of the tumor mass and are thought to support tumor growth through various mechanisms. However, a lack of information on CD276 function and interaction partner(s) impedes rigorous evaluation of CD276 as a therapeutic target in oncology. Therefore, we aimed to understand the relevance of CD276 in tumor-macrophage interaction by employing a 3D spheroid coculture system with human cells. Our data show a role for tumor-expressed CD276 on the macrophage recruitment into the tumor spheroid, and also in regulation of the extracellular matrix modulator PAI-1. Furthermore, our experiments focusing on macrophage-expressed CD276 suggest that the antibody-dependent CD276 engagement triggers predominantly inhibitory signaling networks in human macrophages.

Project description:Background We assessed the mechanism by which multiple myeloma (MM) shapes the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and affects MΦ polarization. Methods In vivo xenograft model of BM-disseminated human myeloma, as well as analysis of MM cell lines, stromal components, and primary samples from patients with MM, was utilized. Results Analysis of the BM from MM-bearing mice inoculated with human CXCR4-expressing RPMI8226 cells revealed a significant increase in M2 MΦ cell numbers (p < 0.01). CXCL13 was one of the most profoundly increased factors upon MM growth with increased levels in the blood of MM-bearing animals. Myeloid cells were the main source of the increased murine CXCL13 detected in MM-infiltrated BM. MM cell lines induced CXCL13 and concurrent expression of M2 markers (MERTK, CD206, CD163) in co-cultured human MΦ in vitro. Interaction with MΦ reciprocally induced CXCL13 expression in MM cell lines. Mechanistically, TGFβ signaling was involved in CXCL13 induction in MM cells, while BTK signaling was implicated in MM-stimulated increase of CXCL13 in MΦ. Recombinant CXCL13 increased RANKL expression and induced TRAP+ osteoclast (OC) formation in vitro, while CXCL13 neutralization blocked these activities. Moreover, mice inoculated with CXCL13-silenced MM cells developed significantly lower BM disease. Reduced tumor load correlated with decreased numbers of M2 MΦ in BM, decreased bone disease, and lower expression of OC-associated genes. Finally, higher levels of CXCL13 were detected in the blood and BM samples of MM patients in comparison with healthy individuals. Conclusions Altogether, our findings suggest that bidirectional interactions of MΦ with MM tumor cells result in M2 MΦ polarization, CXCL13 induction, and subsequent OC activation, enhancing their ability to support bone resorption and MM progression. CXCL13 may thus serve as a potential novel target in MM. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13045-022-01366-5.
