Project description:In order to assess whether differences in the transcriptomic profile of human tumor-associated macrophages vs. alveolar macrophages from adjacent non-tumor-tissue (GSE162669) were caused by factors secreted by tumor cells, primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were polarized towards a TAM-like phenotype by cultivating them in tumor cell-conditioned medium. A genome-wide comparison by bulk RNA-Seq confirmed a high similarity of ex vivo TAMs and in vitro polarized TAM-like macrophages. Other polarization schemes (M1: LPS/IFN-gamma, M2: IL10 or IL4) did not lead to similar transcriptomic changes. For details, see Hoppstädter et al., 2021 (doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2021.103578).

Project description:Colorectal cancer is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Most patients develop colorectal liver metastases (CLM), and for such patients hepatectomy combined with chemotherapy may be curative. Nevertheless, in the era of precision medicine there is a critical need of prognostic markers to cope with the heterogeneity of CLM patients. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) pave the way to tissue invasion and intravasation providing a nurturing microenvironment formetastases. The quantification of immune landscape of tumors has provided novel prognostic indicators of cancer progression, and the quantification of TAMs might explain the heterogeneity of CLM patients. Here, we will investigate the development of a new diagnostic tool based on TAMs with the aim to define the causative role of TAMs in CLM patients. This will open new clinical scenarios both for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis, leading to the refinement of the therapeutic output in a personalized medicine perspective.

Project description:Macrophages have been implicated in breast cancer progression and metastasis, but relatively little is known about the genes and pathways that are involved. Using a conditional allele of Ets2 in the mouse, we have identified Ets2 as a critical gene in tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) that specifically promotes mammary tumor metastasis. Loss of Ets2 in TAMs decreased the frequency and size of lung metastases without impacting primary tumor burden. Expression profiling of isolated tumor macrophages established that Ets2 deficiency resulted in the de-repression of a defined set of anti-angiogenic genes. Activation of this transcriptional program correlated with decreased angiogenesis in metastatic tumors and decreased metastatic growth. Comparison of this Ets2-specific TAM expression profile with human breast cancer profiles revealed a macrophage gene expression signature that could predict overall survival of estrogen receptor negative patients. In summary, we have identified a critical factor, Ets2, in TAMs that represses a transcriptional program to promote the growth of mammary tumor metastases in the lung. Breast TAMs were isolated from early-stage PyMT-induced mammary tumors expressing Ets2 and also from the tumors with Ets2-deficient TAMs. Since macrophages have also been implicated in normal mammary gland remodeling, normal remeodeling macrophages were also purified from females expressing Ets2 and the ones where Ets2 is deleted in the macrophages. One RNA sample was extracted from each genetic group for gene-expression profiling.

Project description:Tumor associated macrophages show signs of both, classical pro-inflammatory as well as alternative macrophage activation. The aim of this study was to compare TAMs across tumor types, to characterize their phenotype in detail and to identify the signaling nodules involved regulating classical and alternative activation traits. To identify gene expression profiles and pathways differentially activated in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) we isolated TAMs from in vivo animal models of EG7 thymoma (n=3), glioma (n=3) and neuroblastoma (n=3) by tumor digestion and subsequent enrichment of CD11b+ cells using Miltenyi magnetic beads. Thymomas grown in WT or Myd88-/- mice (n=5 per group) were used to identify TLR/IL1R dependent signaling in TAMs. RNA extracted from CD11b+ TAMs was analyzed using the Affymetrx HT_MG-430_PM arrays. For in-depth analysis of the role of inflammatory signaling by TNFR1 (Tnfrsf1a) and/or Myd88, EG7 TAM populations A (CD11b+, Ly6G-, Ly6C+, MHCII-) and C (CD11b+, Ly6C-, MHCII+) were isolated by flow cytometric sorting from WT, TNFR1-/-, Myd88flox/flox; Tie2-Cre and TNFR-/-; Myd88flox/flox; Tie2-cre mice and extracted RNA was analyzed by microarray using the Mouse Gene 2.0 GeneChip arrays (n=2 per genotype and population).

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) shape tumor immunity and therapeutic efficacy. However, it is poorly understood if and how post-translational modifications (PTMs) intrinsically affect the phenotype and function of TAMs. Here, we found that peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) manifested the highest expression among common PTM enzymes in TAMs and negatively correlated to clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of PAD4 in macrophages prevented tumor progression in tumor-bearing mouse models, accompanied by an increase in macrophage MHC-II expression and T-cell effector function. Mechanistically, PAD4 citrullinated STAT1 at arginine 121 (R121), thereby promoting the interaction between STAT1 and PIAS1; and the loss of PAD4 abolished this interaction, ablating the inhibitory role of PIAS1 in the expression of MHC-II machinery in macrophages and enhancing T-cell activation. Thus, the PAD4-STAT1-PIAS1 axis is a previously unknown intrinsic immune restriction mechanism in macrophages and may serve as a cancer immunotherapy target.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HS/PCs) were transduced with lentiviral vectors overexpressing OFP and either miR-511-3p or a control, mutated miRNA sequence (miR-511-3p-mut). The transduced HS/PCs were then transplanted in recipient C57BL/6 mice. Tumors (Lewis lung carcinomas, LLC) were injected s.c. 4 weeks after HS/PC transplant. Lentiviral vector-transduced (OFP+), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) were isolated 4 weeks after LLC injection by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Gene expression profiles of TAMs overexpressing either miR-511-3p or miR-511-3p-mut were obtained from 3 independent biological samples/each. Gene expression profiles of miRNA-overexpressing TAMs were then compared with the gene expression profiles of wild-type TAMs isolated from LLCs grown in nontransplanted C57BL/6 mice; the latter TAMs were subfractioned into MRC1+CD11c(low) or CD11c+MRC1(low) subsets before RNA isolation and analysis. Comparison of gene expression profiles of TAMs revealed that miR-511-3p overexpression tunes down the expression of multiple genes that are classically upregulated in protumoral MRC1+CD11c(low) TAMs. TAMs were isolated from Lewis lung carcinomas grown s.c. in C57BL/6 mice.

Project description:Clinical and experimental evidence indicates that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote malignant progression. In breast cancer, TAMs enhance tumor angiogenesis, tumor cell invasion, matrix remodeling, and immune suppression against the tumor. In this study, we examined late-stage mammary tumors from a transgenic mouse model of breast cancer. We used flow cytometry under conditions that minimized gene expression changes to isolate a rigorously defined TAM population previously shown to be associated with invasive carcinoma cells. The gene expression signature of this population was compared with a similar population derived from spleens of non-tumor-bearing mice using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Using stringent selection criteria, transcript abundance of 460 genes was shown to be differentially regulated between the two populations. Bioinformatic analyses of known functions of these genes indicated that formerly ascribed TAM functions, including suppression of immune activation and matrix remodeling, as well as multiple mediators of tumor angiogenesis, were elevated in TAMs. Further bioinformatic analyses confirmed that a pure and valid TAM gene expression signature in mouse tumors could be used to assess expression of TAMs in human breast cancer. The data derived from these more physiologically relevant autochthonous tumors compared with previous studies in tumor xenografts suggest tactics by which TAMs may regulate tumor angiogenesis and thus provide a basis for exploring other transcriptional mediators of TAM trophic functions within the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages from late-stage mouse mammary tumors compared to splenic macrophages from non-tumor-bearing littermate controls. 4 biological replicates of each population were compared via gene expression arrays.
