Canonical NFκB signaling in myeloid cells is required for the glioblastoma growth.

ABSTRACT: Tumor development and therapeutic resistance are linked with tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) and myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) infiltration in tumors via chemokine axis. Chemokine expression, which determines the pro or anti-inflammatory status of myeloid cells, are partly regulated by the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. Here, we identified that conditional deletion of canonical NF-κB signaling (p65) in myeloid cells inhibited syngeneic glioblastoma (GBM) through decreased CD45 infiltration in tumors, as characterized by decreased TAMs (CD206+) and MDSCs (Gr1+ CD11b+), increased dendritic cells (CD86+) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) in the p65 knockout (KO) mice. Proinflammatory cytokines (IFNγ, MCP1, MIP1α, and TNFα) and myeloid differentiation factor (Endoglin) were incr
