Human Tumor-Associated Macrophage and Monocyte Transcriptional Landscapes Reveal Cancer-Specific Reprogramming, Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Targets

ABSTRACT: The roles of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and circulating monocytes in human cancer are poorly understood. Here, we show that monocyte subpopulation distribution and transcriptomes are significantly altered by the presence of endometrial and breast cancer. Furthermore, TAMs from endometrial and breast cancers are transcriptionally distinct from monocytes and their respective tissue-resident macrophages. We identified a breast TAM signature that is highly enriched in aggressive breast cancer subtypes and associated with shorter disease-specific survival. We also identified an auto-regulatory loop between TAMs and cancer cells driven by tumor necrosis factor alpha involving SIGLEC1 and CCL8, which is self- reinforcing through the production of CSF1. Together these data provide direct evidence that monocyte and macrophage transcriptional landscapes are perturbed by cancer, reflecting patient outcomes.

Effect of CSF1R inhibition in tumor macrophages on gene expression in metastatic epithelial cells

Project description:Metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in breast cancer patients. Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are active collaborators in mediating several steps of the tumor metastatic cascade, but the molecular details governing this collaboration remain ill-defined. Colony Stimulating Factor 1 (CSF1), a factor critical for macrophage differentiation and survival, functions to recruit TAMs to the primary tumor site, and anti-CSF1 therapies are in clinical trials.In this study, we tested the effect of inhibiting CSF1 signaling in macrophages on gene expression in metastatic tumor cells in mouse models of breast cancer metastasis. Tumor cells were sorted from lung metastases from control and CSF1R inhibitor treated mice. Several pro-tumor processes were significantly affected by CSF1R inhibitor treatment, including angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. In addition, a 29 gene signature derived from this data could retrospectively predict survival in a cohort of luminal B breast cancer patients. Collectievly, our results highlight the utility of employing CSF1R inhibitors for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. GFP tagged MVT1 metastatic mammary tumor cells were injected intravenously into FVB/N mice. Mice were gavaged with the CSF1R inhibitor GW2580 or vehicle starting one week post injection. GFP tagged tumor cells were sorted from metastatic tumor bearing lungs 1 and 2 weeks post injection from 2 vehicle treated mice for each. These are denoted 1_week_WT and 2_week_WT respectively. GFP tagged tumor cells were simultaneously sorted from mice gavaged with GW2580. These samples are denoted 2_week_GW. RNA was extracted and gene expression profiling was performed using the Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array platform.

RNAseq of untreated, CSF1-treated, CSF1+QVD-treated, and GM-CSF-treated monocytes

Project description:Caspases, which are key effectors of apoptosis, have demonstrated non-apoptotic functions. One of these functions is the differentiation into macrophages of peripheral blood monocytes exposed to Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF1). Conversely, GM-CSF induces the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages in a caspase-independent manner. Macrophages generated by CSF1 and GM-CSF have distinct polarity. Macrophage polarization plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diverse human diseases as cancer, leading us to explore if caspase inhibition would affect macrophage polarization. To explore the role of caspases in CSF1 differentiation, we used human monocytes sorted from buffy coats treated by cytokines. We reported that caspase inhibition delays the ex vivo differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes exposed to CSF1 and modifies the phenotype of generated macrophages, e.g. cell shape, surface markers. Moreover, by RNAseq, we observed that the macrophages generated in presence of CSF1 and QVD are different from CSF1-treated monocytes and from GM-CSF-treated monocytes. Cell cycle and focal adhesion-related pathway genes were selectively down-regulated. This study confirms the importance of caspase activation in CSF1 differentiation.

B-cell derived macrophage in mouse and human breast cancer macrophage

Project description:Cancer actively uses B cells to promote its progression and metastasis. For example, it causes accumulation of bone marrow (BM) B-cell precursors in spleen to convert into immunosuppressive Breg cells. Here, we provide evidence that cancer also coopts differentiation BM CSF1R+ Pax5Lo B-cell precursors to generate macrophages (termed B-MF cells). To do this, cancer uses CSF1 to trigger Csf1r signaling and downregulate PAX5 in B-cell precursors by activating FOXO1. Although tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are primarily derived from BM monocytes, our data suggest that some of them may have B-cell origin. Unlike monocyte-derived TAMs, B-MF exhibit a higher M2 polarization, more efficiently phagocytize apoptotic cells, induce FoxP3+ Tregs and suppress T cells activity. We propose that the cancer-B-MF axis is a novel immune escape pathway, thus a therapeutic target.

PFKFB3 overexpression in monocytes of patients with colon but not rectal cancer programs pro-tumor macrophages and is indicative for higher risk of tumor relapse [GeoMx]

Project description:Circulating monocytes are main source for tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that control tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis and therapy resistance. We raised the questions how monocyte programming is affected by growing tumors localized in colon and rectal sections, and how treatment onsets affect monocyte programming in the circulation. Patients with rectal cancer and colon cancer were enrolled in the study. Spatial transcriptomic analysis was applied using GeoMX DSP-NGS. The key transcriptional difference between monocytes of patients with colon and rectal cancer was increased expression of PFKFB3, activator of glycolysis that is currently considered as therapy target for major solid cancers. PFKFB3-expressing monocyte-derived macrophages massively infiltrated tumor in colon. Nanostring technology identified correlation of PFKFB3 with amount and tumor-promoting properties of TAMs in colon but not in rectal cancer.

Macrophage proliferation machinery leads to PDAC progression, but susceptibility to innate immunotherapy.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are involved in many aspects of cancer progression and correlated with poor clinical outcomes in many cancer types, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). Previous studies have shown that TAMs can populate PDAC tumors not only by monocyte recruitment but also by local proliferation. However, the impact local proliferation might have on macrhopage phenotype and cancer progression is unknown. Here, we utilized genetically engineered cancer models, single-cell RNA-sequencing data, and in vitro system to show that proliferation of TAMs was driven by colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF1) produced by cancer-associated fibroblasts. CSF1 induced high levels of p21 in macrophages, which regulated both TAM proliferation and phenotype. TAMs in human and mouse PDACs with high levels of p21 had more inflammatory and immunosuppressive phenotypes, independent of their proliferative status. The p21 expression in TAMs was induced by both stromal interaction and/or chemotherapy treatment. Finally, by modeling p21 expression levels in TAMs, we found that p21-driven macrophage immunosuppression in vivo drove tumor progression. Serendipitously, the same p21-driven pathways that drive tumor progression, also drive response to CD40 agonist. These data suggest that stromal or therapy-induced regulation of cell cycle machinery can regulate both macrophage-mediated immune suppression and susceptibility to innate immunotherapy.

RNAseq analysis of human macrophages differentiated from monocytes exposed to extracellular vesicles from tumor cells or recombinant CSF-1

Project description:Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), which differentiate from circulating monocytes, are pervasive across human cancers and comprise heterogeneous populations. The contribution of tumor-derived signals to TAM heterogeneity is not well understood. In particular, tumors release both soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs), whose respective impact on TAM precursors may be different. Here, we show that triple negative breast cancer cells (TNBC) release EVs and soluble molecules promoting monocyte differentiation towards distinct macrophage fates.

Mouse modeling dissecting macrophage-breast cancer communication uncovered roles of PYK2 in macrophage recruitment and breast tumorigenesis

Project description:Macrophage infiltration in mammary tumors is associated with enhanced tumor progression, metastasis, and poor clinical outcome, and considered as target for therapeutic intervention. Here we used different genetic mouse models and show that ablation of the tyrosine kinase PYK2, either in breast cancer cells, only in the tumor microenvironment, or both, markedly reduced the number of infiltrating tumor macrophages and concomitantly inhibited tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth. Strikingly, PYK2 depletion only in macrophages was sufficient to induce similar effects. These phenotypic changes were associated with reduced monocyte recruitment and a substantial decrease in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Mechanistically, we show that PYK2 mediates mutual communication between breast cancer cells and macrophages through critical effects on key receptor signaling. Specifically, PYK2 ablation inhibited Notch1 signaling and consequently reduced CCL2 secretion by breast cancer cells, and concurrently reduced the levels of CCR2, CXCR4, IL4R, and Stat6 activation in macrophages. These bidirectional effects modulate monocyte recruitment, macrophage polarization and tumor angiogenesis. PYK2 expression is correlated with infiltrated macrophages in breast cancer patients, and its significant effects on macrophage infiltration and their pro-tumorigenic phenotype suggest that PYK2 targeting can be utilized as an effective strategy to modulate TAMs and possibly sensitize breast cancer to immunotherapy.
