Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), contains different tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) populations that can either promote tumor growth and therapeutic resistance (pTAMs) or have tumor suppressive properties (sTAMs), and thus reprograming pTAMs into sTAMs represents an attractive therapeutic strategy. By screening a collection of small molecule compounds we find that inhibition of the β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) by TAM_MK-8931 potently reprograms pTAMs into sTAMs and promotes macrophage phagocytosis of glioma cells; moreover, low-dose radiation markedly enhances TAM infiltration and synergizes with TAM_MK-8931 treatment to suppress malignant growth. BACE1 is preferentially expressed by pTAMs in human GBMs and is required for maintaining pTAM polarization through trans-IL-6-sIL-6R-STAT3 signaling. TAM_MK-8931 and other BACE1 inhibitors have been developed for Alzheimer's disease in clinical trials, and have been shown to be safe for humans, these could be potentially streamlined for cancer therapy. Collectively, this study offers a promising therapeutic approach to enhance macrophage-based therapy in GBM.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major component of the leukocyte and a heterogenous population in tumors. Recent reports have increasingly suggested that manipulating the function of TAMs may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy against advanced tumors. Our present work indicates that CSF-1R+ TAMs are abundantly found in a significant proportion of COAD specimens. Therefore，to determine the role of the CSF-1Rhigh TAMs in COAD, we sorted the CSF-1Rhigh TAMs and the CSF-1R low TAMs from the colon adenocarcinomas for Smart-seq2. We found that CSF-1Rhigh TAM infiltration involved in multiple tumor immune signaling pathways. CSF-1Rhigh TAMs mostly exhibited a immunosuppressive phenotypes, and were associated with enhanced levels of Treg cells. CSF-1R high TAMs promotes COAD progression by modulating tumor immunity environment

Project description:PPARγ regulates glucose and lipid homeostasis, insulin signaling and adipocyte differentiation. Here we report the skipping of exon 5 as legitimate splicing event generating PPARγΔ5, a new truncated isoform lacking the ligand binding domain. PPARγΔ5 is endogenously expressed in human adipose tissue and during adipocyte differentiation, lacks the ligand-dependent transactivation ability and acts as dominant negative reducing PPARγ activity. Ligand-mediated PPARγ activation induces exon 5 skipping in a negative feedback loop, suggesting alternative splicing as a new mechanism regulating PPARγ activity. PPARγΔ5 over-expression modifies PPARγ-induced transcriptional network, significantly impairing the differentiation ability of adipocyte precursor cells. Additionally, PPARγΔ5 expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue positively correlates with BMI in two independent cohorts of obese and diabetic patients. From a functional perspective, PPARγΔ5 mimics PPARG dominant negative mutated receptors, possibly contributing to adipose tissue dysfunctions. These findings open unexplored scenario in PPARG regulation and PPARγ-related diseases.

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.

Project description:Cells undergoing apoptosis are known to modulate their tissue microenvironments. By acting on phagocytes, notably macrophages, apoptotic cells inhibit immunological and inflammatory responses and promote trophic signaling pathways. Paradoxically because of their potential to cause death of tumor cells and thereby militate against malignant disease progression, both apoptosis and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are often associated with poor prognosis in cancer. In order to better understand the influence of tumor cell apoptosis and in particular its effect on TAM, we investigated global gene expression signatures of undisturbed TAM engaged in engulfment of apoptotic tumor cells. We studied a xenograft model of an aggressive ‘starry-sky’ non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), in which apoptotic tumor cells are common and frequently observed in association with the starry-sky TAM (SS-TAM, so called because they appear histologically as ‘stars’ in a ‘sky’ of tumor cells) that accumulate in these tumors. We used a BL cell line (BL2) whose cells phenotypically resemble the tumor biopsy cells from which the line was derived including the capacity to undergo apoptosis constitutively. BL xenografts in SCID mice closely recapitulated the starry-sky histological picture of the human lymphoma. Due to the high sensitivity of macrophages to their environments, we adopted laser-capture microdissection of individual SS-TAM in BL xenografts in order to obtain unbiased in situ transcriptional profiles of these cells, which we compared specifically with those of similarly-captured macrophages, the tingible-body macrophages from normal germinal centers (GCM). The rationale for this comparison was based upon BL being a germinal center malignancy and tingible-body macrophages being regarded as normal equivalents of SS-TAM. Gene expression profiles of SS-TAM from BL2 xenograft tumors were compared to splenic GCM profiles. Three mice from each group were analysed. RNA was isolated from 1000 captured macrophages from each mouse and global gene expression signatures were obtained using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 GeneChip arrays.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages are increasingly viewed as a target of great relevance in the tumor microenvironment, because of their important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, the endogenous regulatory mechanisms underlying tumor-associated macrophage differentiation remain largely unknown. Here, we report that caspase-1 promotes tumor-associated macrophage differentiation by cleaving peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) at Asp64, thus generating a 41 kDa fragment. This truncated PPARγ translocates to mitochondria, where it directly interacts with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD). This binding event attenuates MCAD activity and inhibits fatty acid oxidation, thereby leading to the accumulation of lipid droplets and promoting tumor-associated macrophage differentiation. Furthermore, the administration of caspase-1 inhibitors or the infusion of bone marrow-derived macrophages genetically engineered to overexpress murine MCAD markedly suppresses tumor growth. Therefore, targeting the caspase-1/PPARγ/MCAD pathway might be a promising therapeutic approach to prevent tumor progression.Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) promote cancer progression. Here, the author show that caspase-1 promotes TAMs differentiation by attenuating medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity and that inhibition of this axis results in suppression of tumour growth in a transgenic mouse model of breast cancer.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), often adopting an immunosuppressive M2-like phenotype, correlate with unfavorable cancer outcomes. Our investigation unveiled elevated expression of the butyrophilin (BTN)2A1 in M2-like TAMs across diverse cancer types. We developed anti-BTN2A1 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and notably, one clone demonstrated a robust inhibitory effect on M2-like macrophage differentiation, inducing a shift towards an M1-like phenotype both in vitro and ex vivo in TAMs from patients with cancer. Macrophages treated with this anti-BTN2A1 mAb exhibited enhanced support for T-cell proliferation and IFNγ secretion. Indeed, M1-like and M2-like macrophage differentiation involves complex signaling pathways leading to specific gene expression profiles. Typically, stimuli from the TME induce pathways including JAK/STATs, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, NOTCH and NF-κB influencing TAMs polarization. We investigated the signaling pathways activated in monocytes and M-CSF-induced M2-like macrophages upon BTN2A1 engagement using anti-BTN2A mAb5. After 30 min of treatment, we observed phosphorylation of MAPKs (i.e. ERK1/2, P38 and JNK) in CD14+ monocytes and in M2-like macrophages, unlike isotype control-treated cells. In contrast, the PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT, and NF-kB pathways were not consistently activated after 30 min of anti-BTN2A mAb5 treatment. Since BTN2A1 lacks intrinsic kinase activity, we explored whether BTN2A1 could form complexes with molecular partners in M2-like macrophages that provide kinase activity. We prepared lysates from M2-like macrophages treated with mAb5 or with its isotype control for 30 min and performed immunoprecipitation (IP) using another anti-BTN2A mAb followed by western blotting with anti-phosphoTyrosine (pTyr). A 70 kDa was co-immunoprecipitated with BTN2A1 and revealed by the anti-pTyr in lysates from anti-BTN2A mAb5-treated M2-like macrophages. To identify which Tyrosine kinase is enriched in anti-BTN2A mAb5-treated M2-like macrophages, we performed LC-MS/MS on anti-pTyr immunoprecipitates from treated cells. Several tyrosine kinases, including P38α/δ and JNK, were enriched. Notably, SYK was also identified and matched the 72kDa molecular weight of the pTyr band co-immunoprecipitated with BTN2A1.
