Project description:The pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) microenvironment is composed of a variety of cell types and marked by extensive fibrosis and inflammation. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are abundant, and they are important mediators of disease progression and invasion. TAMs are polarized in situ to a tumor promoting and immunosuppressive phenotype via cytokine signaling and metabolic crosstalk from malignant epithelial cells and other components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the specific distinguishing features and functions of TAMs remain poorly defined. Here, we generated tumor-educated macrophages (TEM) in vitro and performed detailed, multi-omic characterization (i.e. transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics). Our results reveal unique genetic and metabolic signatures of TEMs, the veracity of which were queried against our in-house single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset of human pancreatic tumors. This analysis identified expression of novel, metabolic TEM markers in human pancreatic TAMs, including ARG1, ACLY, and TXNIP. We then utilized our TEM model system to study the role of mutant Kras signaling in cancer cells on TEM polarization. This revealed an important role for GM-CSF and lactate on TEM polarization, molecules released from cancer cells in a mutant Kras-dependent manner. Lastly, we demonstrate that GM-CSF dysregulates TEM gene expression and metabolism through PI3K-AKT pathway signaling. Collectively, our results define new markers and programs to classify pancreatic TAMs, how these are engaged by cancer cells, and the precise signaling pathways mediating polarization.

Project description:Chemotherapies have been shown to enhance anti-tumor immunity, but whether chemotherapies affect tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is still unclear. We found TAMs is different before and after chemotherapy by comparing proteomic profiles of TAMs before and after chemotherapy.

Project description:Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily and is up-regulated in tumors that originate from a diversity of lineages. DcR3 is capable of promoting angiogenesis, inducing dendritic cell apoptosis, and modulating macrophage differentiation. Since tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major infiltrating leukocytes in most malignant tumors, we used microarray technology to investigate whether DcR3 contributes to the development of TAMs. Among the DcR3-modulated genes expressed by TAMs, those that encode proteins involved in MHC class II (MHC-II)-dependent antigen presentation were down-regulated substantially, together with the master regulator of MHC-II expression (the class II transactivator, CIITA). The ERK- and JNK-induced deacetylation of histones associated with the CIITA promoters was responsible for DcR3-mediated down-regulation of MHC-II expression. Furthermore, the expression level of DcR3 in cancer cells correlated inversely with HLA-DR levels on TAMs and with the overall survival time of pancreatic cancer patients. The role of DcR3 in the development of TAMs was further confirmed using transgenic mice over-expressing DcR3. This elucidates the molecular mechanism of impaired MHC-II-mediated antigen presentation by TAMs, and raises the possibility that subversion of TAM-induced immunosuppression via inhibition of DcR3 expression might represent a target for the design of new therapeutics. Experiment Overall Design: Freshly isolated human monocytes were cultured with DcR3 or control hIgG1 in the presence of M-CSF for 2 days. Data were collected from two independent donors

Project description:Active immunotherapy is a promising strategy for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. Recently, we have reported that a vaccine using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced specific anti-endothelial immune responses in the most of immunized patients, and resulted in tumor regression in some patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors, whereas not in colorectal cancer patients. In this study, we hypothesized that non-hypoxic perivascular tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in colorectal cancer, but not in glioblastoma, might negatively alter the therapeutic efficacy of anti-angiogenic active immunotherapy. To test this hypothesis, we examined global gene expression profiles of non-hypoxic macrophages stimulated in vitro by soluble factors released from tumor cells of human glioblastoma U-87MG (‘brain TAMs’) or colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 (‘colon TAMs’). Murine non-hypoxic TAMs were induced in vitro by incubation with soluble factors released from human cancer cell lines U-87MG ('brain TAMs') or HT-29 ('colon TAMs'), for RNA extraction and subsequent hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To evaluate homogeneous macrophage populations at different tumour developmental stages, RNA aliquots of control macrophages and TAMs obtained at five different time-points, i.e. 8h, 16h, 24h, 32h and 40h, were pooled and used for screening of differentially expressed genes. The experiments for TAMs as well as for control unstimulated macrophages were performed in triplicates.

Project description:Experiments expression profile several FACS-sorted pancreas tumor-associated macrophages. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are essential components of the cancer microenvironment and play critical roles in the regulation of tumor progression. Optimal therapeutic intervention requires in-depth understanding of the sources that sustain macrophages in malignant tissues. In this study, we investigated the ontogeny of TAMs in murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) models. We identified both inflammatory monocytes and tissue-resident macrophages as sources of TAMs. Unexpectedly, significant portions of pancreas-resident macrophages originate during embryonic development and expand through in situ proliferation during tumor progression. While monocyte-derived TAMs play more potent roles in antigen presentation, embryonically derived TAMs exhibit a pro-fibrotic transcriptional profile, indicative of their role in producing and remodeling extracellular matrix molecules. Collectively, these findings uncover the heterogeneity of TAM origin and functions, and could provide therapeutic insight for PDAC treatment.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease with high resistance to therapies. Inflammatory and immunomodulatory signals co-exist in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME), leading to dysregulated repair and cytotoxic responses. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key players in PDAC, but their diversity prevented therapeutic exploitation. Here, we combined single-cell and spatial genomics with functional experiments to elucidate macrophage functions in pancreatic cancer. We uncovered an inflammatory loop between tumor cells and interleukin (IL)-1B+ TAMs, a subset of macrophages elicited by a local synergy between prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-A. Physical proximity with IL-1B+ TAMs was associated with inflammatory reprogramming and acquisition of pathogenic properties by a subset of PDAC cells. This occurrence was an early event in pancreatic tumorigenesis and led to persistent transcriptional changes associated with disease progression and poor patient outcome. Blocking PGE2 or IL-1B elicited TAM reprogramming and antagonized tumor cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic inflammation, leading to PDAC control in vivo. Targeting the PGE2-IL-1B axis may enable preventive or therapeutic strategy to reprogramming of immune dynamics in pancreatic cancer.
