Modulating tumor-associated macrophage polarization by anti-maRCO mAb exerts anti-osteosarcoma effects through regulating osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Osteosarcoma is a primary bone tumor lacking optimal clinical treatment options. Tumor-associated macrophages in the tumor microenvironment are closely associated with tumor development and metastasis. Studies have identified the macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) as a specific receptor expressed in macrophages. This study aimed to investigate whether anti-MARCO mAb treatment can induce macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment and elicit anti-tumor effects.

Methods

THP-1 cells were treated with 20 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and 80 ng/mL interleukin-4 for 48 h to induce macrophage polarization to alternatively activated macrophages (M2). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, flo
