Chitinase 3-like-1 Inhibits Innate Antitumor and Tissue Remodeling Immune Responses by Regulating CD47-SIRPα- and CD24-Siglec10-Mediated Phagocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Innate immune responses such as phagocytosis are critically linked to the generation of adaptive immune responses against the neoantigens in cancer and the efferocytosis that is essential for homeostasis in diseases characterized by lung injury, inflammation, and remodeling as in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) is induced in many cancers where it inhibits adaptive immune responses by stimulating immune checkpoint molecules (ICPs) and portends a poor prognosis. CHI3L1 is also induced in COPD where it regulates epithelial cell death. In this study, we demonstrate that pulmonary melanoma metastasis inhibits macrophage phagocytosis by stimulating the CD47-SIRPα and CD24-Siglec10 phagocytosis checkpoint pathways while inhibiting macrophage "eat me" sign
