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

ABSTRACT: 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.

DCBLD2 promotes perivascular anti-tumor immune deprivation by educating SPP1+ pro-angiogenic macrophages

Project description:The crosstalk between tumor vasculature and immune microenvironment underpins the anti-tumor effect of anti-angiogenic therapy (AAT) combined with immunotherapy. However, the efficacy improved by AAT in the above combination therapy is limited and its adverse effects are concerning. Integrated transcriptome and surfaceome data identified DCBLD2 as a bipotent molecule on tumor cells as a trigger for abnormal tumor vascular-immune interactions. Dcbld2 overexpression accelerated tumor growth through tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in preclinical mouse models. Mechanically, DCBLD2 domesticates SPP1+ pro-angiogenic TAMs through ALDH1A3-RXRG-PLK1 axis, constructing TAMs-coated vascular niches that sequester CD8+ T cell infiltration. DCBLD2 expression levels predicted the efficacy of traditional AAT in our lung cancer patient cohorts. Targeting DCBLD2 or ALDH1A3 combined with PD-1 antibody outperformed traditional AAT and immunotherapy combination. Our study identifies DCBLD2 on tumor cells as a checkpoint in abnormal vascular-immune crosstalk, offering a promising target to amplify the potency of vascular normalization and immune activation.

An Ets2-specific transcriptional program in tumor-associated macrophages promotes metastasis

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.

Spatiotemporal single-cell transcriptomics in mouse and human to investigate TAM evolution during GBM progression

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. Although immunotherapy has shown promise in certain cancer types, it has not been effective against GBM, largely due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TMEs), which is rich in tumor-associated macrophages/microglia (TAMs). TAMs in late-stage GBM contribute to T-cell exhaustion and worsen prognosis, but the role of TAMs in earlier stages of tumor development is unclear. By employing genetically engineered mouse models and human samples, we used spatiotemporal single-cell transcriptomics to investigate TAM evolution during GBM progression.

pH-gated nanoparticles selectively regulate lysosomal function of tumour-associated macrophages for cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), as one of the most abundant and phagocytic tumour-infiltrating immune cells, play a pivotal role in tumour antigen clearance and immune suppression. M2-like TAMs present a heightened lysosomal acidity and protease activity, which limits the function of antigen cross-presentation. How to selectively reprogram the antigen-destroying TAMs to a restorative phenotype for efficient anti-tumour immunity is challenging. Here, we report a pH-gated nanoadjuvant (PGN) that selectively targets the lysosomes of M2-like TAMs in tumours rather than the corresponding organelles from macrophages in healthy tissues. Enabled by the PGN nanotechnology, M2-like TAMs are specifically switched to M1-like phenotypes with tuned-down lysosomal function featured by attenuated lysosomal acidity and cathepsin activity for improved antigen cross-presentation, thus provoking adaptive immune response and sustained tumour regression. Our findings provide new insights into how to specifically regulate lysosomal function of TAMs for efficient cancer immunotherapy.

SHISA3 reprograms tumor-associated macrophages toward an M1 phenotype and enhances cancer immunotherapy

Project description:The main challenge for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy lies in immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Repolarizing M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into inflammatory M1 phenotype is a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we found that the transmembrane protein SHISA3 is induced by DAMPs/PAMPs in macrophages via nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription factors, and SHISA3 forms complex with HSPA8 to reciprocally activates NF-κB signaling thus maintains M1 polarization of macrophages. Enforced expression of Shisa3 in TAMs increases their phagocytosis and antigen presentation abilities and promotes CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. Local delivery of mRNA encoding Shisa3 enables therapy of cancer by dual effects on tumor cells and TAMs, and enhance the efficacy of PD-1 antibody. Taken together, our findings describe the role of SHISA3 in reprogramming TAMs that ameliorates cancer immunotherapy To find new molecules that regulate macrophage polarization, we performed transcriptomic analysis on early macrophages polarization induced by LPS for 0, 2, 4 hours.

Therapeutic Exosomal Vaccine for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy by Mediating Tumor Microenvironment

Project description:Tumor immunotherapy has been convincingly demonstrated as a feasible approach for treating cancers. Although promising, however, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) has been recognized as a major obstacle in tumor immunotherapy. It is highly desirable to release an immunosuppressive “brake” for improving cancer immunotherapy. Among tumor-infiltrated immune cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in the growth, invasion and metastasis of tumors. The polarization of TAMs (M2) into the M1 type can alleviate the immunosuppression of the TME and enhance the effect of immunotherapy. Inspired by this, we constructed a therapeutic exosomal vaccine from antigen-stimulated M1-type macrophages (M1OVA-Exos). M1OVA-Exos are capable of polarizing TAMs into M1 type through downregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Mediating the TME further activates the immune response and inhibits tumor growth and metastasis via the exosomal vaccine. Our study provides a new strategy for the polarization of TAMs, which augments cancer vaccine therapy efficacy.

Targeting IRG1 in tumor-associated macrophages for cancer therapy

Project description:Immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) is a mitochondrial aconitate decarboxylase and can produce the immunomodulatory metabolite itaconic acid (ITA). However, its role in modulating the function of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) remains elusive. Here, we show that IRG1 is expressed in TAMs in human tumors and mouse models of cancer. Tumor cells induce Irg1 expression in macrophages which dampens the inflammatory response and restricts M1-like TAM polarization. In contrast, Irg1-deficent macrophages acquire more proinflammatory M1-like features, promote immunogenic antigen presentation, and enhance cytotoxic T cell infiltration into tumor sites. Consequently, Irg1 deficiency suppresses the growth of mouse syngeneic tumors, including melanoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Irg1-deficient macrophages not only dictate the tumoricidal effect but enhance the efficacy of anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy. In conclusion, our data identify IRG1 as a myeloid immune check point gene and foster the development of genetic or pharmacologic targeting of IRG1 for skewing macrophages toward an anti-tumor phenotype to treat a broad spectrum of cancer.

PAD4 controls tumor immunity via restraining the MHC-II machinery in macrophages

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.

DICER controls macrophage polarization and tumor response to immunotherapy

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have immunosuppressive capacity in mouse models of cancer. Here we show that the genetic deletion of the microRNA (miRNA)-processing enzyme DICER in TAMs broadly programs them to a CD11c+MRC1â/low M1-like immunostimulatory phenotype characterized by activated interferon-Î³ (IFN-Î³)/STAT1/IRF signaling. M1-like TAM programming fostered the recruitment of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs), including tumor-antigen-specific CTLs, inhibited tumor growth, and enhanced the efficacy of PD1 checkpoint blockade. Bioinformatics analysis of TAM transcriptomes identified a limited set of miRNAs putatively involved in TAM programming. Re-expression of Let-7 in Dicer-deficient TAMs was sufficient to partly rescue the M2-like (protumoral) TAM phenotype and abate tumor CTL infiltration. Targeted suppression of DICER activity in TAMs may, therefore, stimulate antitumor immunity and enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. To explore the role of DICER in the development, activation and immunological functions of TAMs, we crossed homozygous LysM-Cre (Clausen et al., 1999) with Dicerlox/lox (Harfe et al., 2005) mice to obtain mice with myeloid-cell-specific Dicer1 gene deletion (LysM-Cre;Dicerâ/â, referred to as Dâ/â). These mice were then backcrossed to LysM-Cre to obtain the control LysM-Cre; Dicer+/+ mice (referred to as D+/+). Both LysM-Cre and Dicerlox/lox mutations were always homozygous in our experiment. We then inoculated Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells subcutaneously (s.c.) in Dâ/â and control D+/+ mice. Once the tumors were established, we isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) tumor-associated macrophages (F4/80+ cells).
