PFKFB3 overexpression in monocytes of patients with colon but not rectal cancer programs pro-tumor macrophages and is indicative for higher risk of tumor relapse [RNAseq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Circulating monocytes are main source for tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that control tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis and therapy resistance. We raised the questions how monocyte programming is affected by growing tumors localized in colon and rectal sections, and how treatment onsets affect monocyte programming in the circulation. Patients with rectal cancer and colon cancer were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood monocytes were characterized by transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing. NGS analysis identified tumor-specific transcriptional programming of monocytes in all CRC patients compared to healthy individuals. The analysis also identified difference between colon and rectal cancer monocytes and chemotherapy effects on monocyte profile in rectal cancer.
