Immunoprofiling of prostate cancer infiltrate

ABSTRACT: Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are correlated with the progression of prostatic adenocarcinoma (PCa) but are still poorly described in this context. Here we applied high dimensional single-cell RNA-seq to profile the transcriptional landscape of TAMs in PCa. We identified a subset of tumor infiltrating macrophages that shows a dysregulation in transcriptional pathways associated with lipid metabolism. In human and mouse models of PCa this subset of macrophages expresses the scavenger receptor MARCO and is characterized by accumulation of lipid droplets. We identified a gene signature derived from MARCO-expressing TAMs that correlates with PCa progression and is associated with shorter disease-free survival. Mechanistically, we observed that lipid accumulation in TAMs is promoted by the secretome of cancer cells. Lipid-loading confers to tumor-conditioned macrophages the capability to promote cancer cell migration mediated by CCL6. Importantly, administration of high fat diet to tumor-bearing mice raises lipid accumulation in TAMs and affects their transcriptional profile. Finally, we demonstrate that the accumulation of lipids in macrophages is dependent on MARCO expression and we show that MARCO blockade hinders tumor growth and invasiveness in models of advanced PCa. Our findings provide evidence that lipid-loaded TAMs represent a new therapeutic target in PCa.

Transcriptional profile of tumor associated macrophages in High fat diet mouse models

Immunoprofiling of mouse prostate cancer infiltrate

Project description:NK cells are effector cells that contribute to tumor immune surveillance. Due to their spontaneous ability to eliminate tumor cells, NK cell have been exploited for cancer treatment. However, most cancers impair NK cell infiltration and hinder their cytotoxic capability. As a consequence, the efficacy of NK cell-based immunotherapies is still limited. Here we applied high dimensional single-cell RNA-seq to profile the transcriptional landscape of tumor-infiltrating NK in murine prostate cancer. We identified two subsets of tumor infiltrating NK cells. Tumor samples resulted to be abundantly infiltrated by the immunomodulatory subset at the expense of the cytotoxic one. Importantly, the anayles of the interaction network existing between NK cells and tumor cells revealed a deregulation of the autophagic process. Finally, genetic and pharmacological activation of autophagy rescues NK cell effector functions and confers to NK cells a superior ability in controlling tumor growth in vivo.

Super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles reprogram the tumor microenvironment and reduce lung cancer growth

Project description:Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to play a role in a multitude of processes that facilitate lung cancer growth, including the suppression of tumoricidal immune activation and the absorption of chemotherapeutics. Therefore, deciphering new therapies to reprogram TAMs towards an anti-tumor phenotype is at the cutting-edge of therapy development. The presence of iron-loaded macrophages has been associated with a better prognosis in lung cancer patients. Iron accumulation in macrophages stimulates pro-tumoricidal macrophage activity that triggers cytotoxic T-cell responses in the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we propose super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a promising anti-lung cancer adjuvant therapy to reduce tumor cell growth. We used SPIONs to target iron to macrophages and observed that SPION-loaded macrophages reduced tumor cell growth due to the oxidative stress. Additionally, we found that SPIONs completely rewire the tumor microenvironment in mice towards an anti-tumor state and that in combination with crizotinib, a lung cancer targeted therapy, SPIONs show an additive effect in decelerating tumor growth

Single-cell characterization of macrophages in glioblastoma reveals MARCO as a mesenchymal pro-tumor marker

Project description:Macrophages are the most common infiltrating immune cells in glioblastoma (GBM), and play a wide variety of pro-tumor and anti-tumor roles. However, the different subpopulations of macrophages and their effects on the tumor microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we combine new and previously-published single-cell RNA-seq data from 86,279 single cells from a total of 63 gliomas to profile 17,774 individual macrophages. Unsupervised clustering revealed an anti-inflammatory subpopulation of macrophages characterized by expression of MARCO (macrophage receptor with collagenous structure), a gene which has not been previously well-characterized in gliomas. MARCO is almost exclusively expressed in macrophages of IDH1-wildtype GBM rather than IDH1-mutated GBM or lower-grade gliomas. Previous studies have implicated MARCO as an unfavorable marker in melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer; here, we find that bulk MARCO expression is associated with worse prognosis in TCGA glioblastomas, and associates with the mesenchymal expression subtype. Our single-cell analysis shows that this previously-reported mesenchymal signature primarily arises from MARCO-expressing macrophages. These MARCO-expressing macrophages differentially over-express gene sets related to hypoxia and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and under-express gene sets related to inflammation and antigen presentation. We show evidence that MARCO-expressing macrophages are recruited from the blood (as opposed to being resident microglia), and paired single-cell analysis of tumor and myeloid cells demonstrate that this recruitment may be driven by known chemoattractant factors. Furthermore, MARCO expression is significantly altered over the course of treatment with PD1 checkpoint inhibitors. These findings illustrate a novel myeloid subpopulation that drives tumor progression in glioblastomas, and suggest potential therapeutic targets to prevent their recruitment glioblastoma.

Chemotherapy-polarized macrophages from breast tumor of PyMT mice

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.

The Cellular and Molecular Origin of Tumor-associated Macrophages

Project description:Long recognized as an evolutionarily ancient cell type involved in tissue homeostasis and immune defense against pathogens, macrophages are being rediscovered as regulators of several diseases including cancer. Here we show that in mice, mammary tumor growth induces the accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that are phenotypically and functionally distinct from mammary tissue macrophages (MTMs). TAMs express the adhesion molecule Vcam1 and proliferate upon their differentiation from inflammatory monocytes, but do not exhibit an “alternatively activated” phenotype. TAM differentiation depends on the transcriptional regulator of Notch signaling, RBPJ; and TAM, but not MTM, depletion restores tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T cell responses and suppresses tumor growth. These findings reveal the ontogeny of TAMs and a discrete tumor-elicited inflammatory response, which may provide new opportunities for cancer immunotherapy. MMTV-PyMT mice (Jackson Laboratory) were backcrossed to the C57BL/6 background for 10 generations. Rbpjfl/fl mice were provided by Tasuku Honjo and crossed to CD11ccre mice provided by Boris Reizis. Littermate controls were used in all experiments when possible. All mice were maintained in a specific pathogen-free facility and animal experimentation was conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines. In the MMTV-PyMT spontaneous mammary tumor model, we found the key Notch transcriptional regulator, RBPJ, to be required for TAM terminal differentiation from inflammatory monocytes. The bulk myeloid cell population that remains in CD11cCreRbpj fl/fl mice (the cells in "Rbpj KO" samples), represents monocytes that have begun their differentiation into macrophages, but are unable to terminally differentiate due to the lack of Rbpj.

scRNA of the immune infiltrate of TRAMP-C1 allografts upon different androgen-deprivation therapeutic combinations

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis made in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Since PCa initiation and disease progression are driven by androgen receptor (AR) signaling, several effective AR signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) have been developed in the last few years. However, despite initial clinically significant therapy responses, secondary resistance to these treatments eventually emerges. Therapy resistance in prostate cancer is commonly associated with inflammation and accumulation of immunosuppressive neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment, also secreting oncogenic factors.

Expression data from in vitro-induced non-hypoxic tumour associated macrophages (TAMs)

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.
