ABSTRACT: Background
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a pivotal role in reshaping the tumor microenvironment following radiotherapy. The mechanisms underlying this reprogramming process remain to be elucidated.Methods
Subcutaneous Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) murine model was treated with hypofrationated radiotherapy (8 Gy × 3F). Single-cell RNA sequencing was utilized to identify subclusters and functions of TAMs. Multiplex assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were employed to measure serum chemokine levels. Bindarit was used to inhibit CCL8, CCL7, and CCL2. The infiltration of TAMs after combination treatment with hypofractionated radiotherapy and Bindarit was quantified with flow cytometry, while the influx of CD206 and CCL8 was assessed by immunostaining.
