CaMKK2 in myeloid cells is a key regulator of the immune suppressive microenvironment in breast cancer


ABSTRACT: Tumor-associated myeloid cells play a pivotal role in the regulation of processes that control tumor growth and metastasis, and their accumulation in tumors is an established negative prognostic factor in breast cancer. Here, we show that inhibition of calcium/calmodulin-dependentkinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) expression within myeloid cells inhibits tumor growth in mouse models of mammary cancer. This activity is associated with the accumulation of macrophages within the tumor microenvironment that express high levels of the major histocompatibility molecule class II molecule I-A (MHC II I-A), and granzyme positive CD8+T-cells. Treatment with specific CaMKK2 inhibitors block tumor growth, in a CD8+ T-cell dependent manner, and facilitates favorable reprogramming of the immune cell microenvironment. CaMKK2 protein expression was highest in the most aggressive subtypes of human breast cancer and, in the most malignant tumors, both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages express high levels of this enzyme. In aggregate, these findings implicate CaMKK2 as a macrophage-selective immune checkpoint, the inhibition of which may have utility in the immunotherapy of breast cancer.
