Project description:Macrophage infiltration in mammary tumors is associated with enhanced tumor progression, metastasis, and poor clinical outcome, and considered as target for therapeutic intervention. Here we used different genetic mouse models and show that ablation of the tyrosine kinase PYK2, either in breast cancer cells, only in the tumor microenvironment, or both, markedly reduced the number of infiltrating tumor macrophages and concomitantly inhibited tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth. Strikingly, PYK2 depletion only in macrophages was sufficient to induce similar effects. These phenotypic changes were associated with reduced monocyte recruitment and a substantial decrease in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Mechanistically, we show that PYK2 mediates mutual communication between breast cancer cells and macrophages through critical effects on key receptor signaling. Specifically, PYK2 ablation inhibited Notch1 signaling and consequently reduced CCL2 secretion by breast cancer cells, and concurrently reduced the levels of CCR2, CXCR4, IL4R, and Stat6 activation in macrophages. These bidirectional effects modulate monocyte recruitment, macrophage polarization and tumor angiogenesis. PYK2 expression is correlated with infiltrated macrophages in breast cancer patients, and its significant effects on macrophage infiltration and their pro-tumorigenic phenotype suggest that PYK2 targeting can be utilized as an effective strategy to modulate TAMs and possibly sensitize breast cancer to immunotherapy.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) secrete cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in tumor microenvironment to support cancer progression. Previous studies have demonstrated role of macrophages in stimulating long range intercellular bridges referred as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in cancer cells. Intercellular communication between cancer cells via TNTs promote cancer growth, invasion, and therapy resistance. Given the important role of TNTs and macrophages in cancer, the mechanism of macrophage mediated TNT formation is elusive. In this study, it is shown that the macrophage-conditioned medium treated MCF-7 cells showed enrichment of NFκB and focal adhesion pathway as well as upregulation of genes involved in EMT, extracellular remodelling, and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Interestingly, inhibition of PKC, Src, NFκB and p38 inhibited macrophage-induced TNT formation in MCF-7 cells. These results reveal novel role of PKC and Src in inducing TNT formation in cancer cells and suggest that inhibition of PKC and Src activity may likely contribute to reduced macrophage-breast cancer cell interaction and potential therapeutic strategy of cancer.

Project description:Paracrine signals relayed between heterogenous cell types through small and large extracellular vesicles promote cancer cell growth, invasion and metastasis. Microplasts, also called as cytoplasts or cytokineplasts are large extracellular vesicles (0.5-11µm diameter) originating from migratory cells. Microplasts are known to be associated with invasive phenotypes of cancer cells and promote metastasis. Treatment with macrophage conditioned medium induces significant shedding of microplasts from MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells. To characterise microplasts and to study their potential role in intercellular communication in cancer, we isolated microplasts derived from macrophage conditioned medium treated MCF-7 cells and investigated their protein cargo through LC-MSMS.

Project description:Activation of inflammatory pathways is one plausible mechanism underlying the association between obesity and increased breast cancer risk. However, macrophage infiltration and local biomarkers of inflammation in breast adipose tissue have seldom been studied in association with obesity. Gene expression profiles of normal breast tissue from reduction mammoplasty patients were evaluated by whole genome microarrays to identify patterns associated with obesity status (normal-weight, body mass index (BMI) <25; overweight, BMI 25-29.9; obese, BMI > or equal to 30). The presence of macrophage-enriched inflammatory loci with immunopositivity for CD68 protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). After adjusting for confounding by age, 760 genes were differentially expressed (203 up and 557 down; FDR = 0.026) between normal-weight and obese women. Gene ontology analysis suggested significant enrichment for pathways involving IL-6, IL-8, CCR5 signaling in macrophages and RXRalpha and PPARalpha activation, consistent with a pro-inflammatory state and suggestive of macrophage infiltration. Gene set enrichment analysis also demonstrated that the genomic signatures of monocytes and macrophages were over-represented in the obese group with FDR of 0.08 and 0.13, respectively. Increased macrophage infiltration was confirmed by IHC, which showed that the breast adipose tissue of obese women had higher average macrophage counts (mean = 8.96 vs. 3.56 in normal-weight women) and inflammatory foci counts (mean = 4.91 vs. 2.67 in normal-weight women). Obesity is associated with local inflammation and macrophage infiltration in normal human breast adipose tissues. Given the role of macrophages in carcinogenesis, these findings have important implications for breast cancer etiology and progression. 72 normal breast tissue samples from patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty.

Project description:The roles of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and circulating monocytes in human cancer are poorly understood. Here, we show that monocyte subpopulation distribution and transcriptomes are significantly altered by the presence of endometrial and breast cancer. Furthermore, TAMs from endometrial and breast cancers are transcriptionally distinct from monocytes and their respective tissue-resident macrophages. We identified a breast TAM signature that is highly enriched in aggressive breast cancer subtypes and associated with shorter disease-specific survival. We also identified an auto-regulatory loop between TAMs and cancer cells driven by tumor necrosis factor alpha involving SIGLEC1 and CCL8, which is self- reinforcing through the production of CSF1. Together these data provide direct evidence that monocyte and macrophage transcriptional landscapes are perturbed by cancer, reflecting patient outcomes.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as novel regulators of macrophage biology and related inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. However, studies focused on lncRNAs in human macrophage subtypes, particularly human lncRNAs that are not conserved in rodents, are limited. Through RNA-seq of human monocyte-derived macrophages, we identified Suppressor of Inflammatory Macrophage Apoptosis lncRNA (SIMALR), a human macrophage-specific long intergenic noncoding RNA, to be highly induced in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated macrophages. Treatment of LPS/IFNγ stimulated THP1 human macrophages with SIMALR antisense oligonucleotides induced apoptosis of inflammatory macrophages, as shown by increased protein expression of cleaved PARP, caspase 9, caspase 3, and Annexin V+. RNA-seq of control versus SIMALR knockdown in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated human monocyte derived macrophages showed NTN1 to be significantly decreased upon SIMALR knockdown. As expected, NTN1 knockdown in LPS/IFNγ-stimulated macrophages induced apoptosis. This apoptotic phenotype was attenuated by adding recombinant NTN1 after SIMALR knockdown. Furthermore, NTN1 promoter-luciferase reporter activity was increased in HEK293T cells treated with lentiviral overexpression of SIMALR. NTN1 promoter activity is known to require HIF1α. RNA immunoprecipitation and microscopy studies suggest that SIMALR may interact with HIF1α to regulate NTN1 transcription, thereby regulating apoptosis of macrophages. In translational studies, SIMALR was found to be expressed in macrophages in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques of symptomatic patients. SIMALR is a non-conserved, human macrophage lincRNA expressed in human atherosclerosis that regulates macrophage apoptosis. SIMALR partners with HIF1α to regulate NTN1, which is a known macrophage survival factor. This work illustrates the importance of interrogating the functions of non-conserved human lincRNAs and exploring their translational and therapeutic potential in human atherosclerosis.
