Project description:Tumor cells attract and dynamically interact with monocytes/macrophages to subvert their differentiation into tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), which mainly promote immunosuppression and neoplastic progression, but the pathways and microenvironmental cues governing their protumoral deviation are not completely understood. Thus, identifying molecular pathways responsible for TAM differentiation may provide new therapeutic targets to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy of cancer.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HS/PCs) were transduced with lentiviral vectors overexpressing OFP and either miR-511-3p or a control, mutated miRNA sequence (miR-511-3p-mut). The transduced HS/PCs were then transplanted in recipient C57BL/6 mice. Tumors (Lewis lung carcinomas, LLC) were injected s.c. 4 weeks after HS/PC transplant. Lentiviral vector-transduced (OFP+), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) were isolated 4 weeks after LLC injection by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Gene expression profiles of TAMs overexpressing either miR-511-3p or miR-511-3p-mut were obtained from 3 independent biological samples/each. Gene expression profiles of miRNA-overexpressing TAMs were then compared with the gene expression profiles of wild-type TAMs isolated from LLCs grown in nontransplanted C57BL/6 mice; the latter TAMs were subfractioned into MRC1+CD11c(low) or CD11c+MRC1(low) subsets before RNA isolation and analysis. Comparison of gene expression profiles of TAMs revealed that miR-511-3p overexpression tunes down the expression of multiple genes that are classically upregulated in protumoral MRC1+CD11c(low) TAMs. TAMs were isolated from Lewis lung carcinomas grown s.c. in C57BL/6 mice.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have immunosuppressive capacity in mouse models of cancer. Here we show that the genetic deletion of the microRNA (miRNA)-processing enzyme DICER in TAMs broadly programs them to a CD11c+MRC1â/low M1-like immunostimulatory phenotype characterized by activated interferon-γ (IFN-γ)/STAT1/IRF signaling. M1-like TAM programming fostered the recruitment of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs), including tumor-antigen-specific CTLs, inhibited tumor growth, and enhanced the efficacy of PD1 checkpoint blockade. Bioinformatics analysis of TAM transcriptomes identified a limited set of miRNAs putatively involved in TAM programming. Re-expression of Let-7 in Dicer-deficient TAMs was sufficient to partly rescue the M2-like (protumoral) TAM phenotype and abate tumor CTL infiltration. Targeted suppression of DICER activity in TAMs may, therefore, stimulate antitumor immunity and enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. To explore the role of DICER in the development, activation and immunological functions of TAMs, we crossed homozygous LysM-Cre (Clausen et al., 1999) with Dicerlox/lox (Harfe et al., 2005) mice to obtain mice with myeloid-cell-specific Dicer1 gene deletion (LysM-Cre;Dicerâ/â, referred to as Dâ/â). These mice were then backcrossed to LysM-Cre to obtain the control LysM-Cre; Dicer+/+ mice (referred to as D+/+). Both LysM-Cre and Dicerlox/lox mutations were always homozygous in our experiment. We then inoculated Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells subcutaneously (s.c.) in Dâ/â and control D+/+ mice. Once the tumors were established, we isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) tumor-associated macrophages (F4/80+ cells).

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have immunosuppressive capacity in mouse models of cancer. Here we show that the genetic deletion of the microRNA (miRNA)-processing enzyme DICER in TAMs broadly programs them to a CD11c+MRC1−/low M1-like immunostimulatory phenotype characterized by activated interferon-γ (IFN-γ)/STAT1/IRF signaling. M1-like TAM programming fostered the recruitment of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs), including tumor-antigen-specific CTLs, inhibited tumor growth, and enhanced the efficacy of PD1 checkpoint blockade.

Project description:Tumor immunotherapy has been convincingly demonstrated as a feasible approach for treating cancers. Although promising, however, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) has been recognized as a major obstacle in tumor immunotherapy. It is highly desirable to release an immunosuppressive “brake” for improving cancer immunotherapy. Among tumor-infiltrated immune cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in the growth, invasion and metastasis of tumors. The polarization of TAMs (M2) into the M1 type can alleviate the immunosuppression of the TME and enhance the effect of immunotherapy. Inspired by this, we constructed a therapeutic exosomal vaccine from antigen-stimulated M1-type macrophages (M1OVA-Exos). M1OVA-Exos are capable of polarizing TAMs into M1 type through downregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Mediating the TME further activates the immune response and inhibits tumor growth and metastasis via the exosomal vaccine. Our study provides a new strategy for the polarization of TAMs, which augments cancer vaccine therapy efficacy.

Project description:Chemotherapies have been shown to enhance anti-tumor immunity, but whether chemotherapies affect tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is still unclear. We found TAMs is different before and after chemotherapy by comparing proteomic profiles of TAMs before and after chemotherapy.

Project description:Recent studies have shown the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) associates with immunosuppression, and that targeting the ECM can improve immune infiltration and immunotherapy response. A question that remains is whether the ECM is directly educating the immune phenotypes seen in cancer. We identified a tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) population correlated with poor prognosis, interruption of the cancer immunity cycle, and tumor ECM composition. To investigate whether ECM was capable of generating the TAM phenotype seen, we developed a decellularized tissue model that retains the native ECM architecture and composition. Macrophages cultured on decellularized ovarian metastasis shared transcriptional profiles with the TAMs found in human tissues. ECM educated macrophages have a tissue remodeling and immunoregulatory phenotype, inducing altered T cell function. We conclude that the tumor ECM is directly educating this macrophage population found in cancer tissues. Therefore, current and emerging cancer therapies that target the tumor ECM may be tailored to improve macrophage phenotype and their downstream regulation of immunity.

Project description:Active immunotherapy is a promising strategy for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. Recently, we have reported that a vaccine using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced specific anti-endothelial immune responses in the most of immunized patients, and resulted in tumor regression in some patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors, whereas not in colorectal cancer patients. In this study, we hypothesized that non-hypoxic perivascular tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in colorectal cancer, but not in glioblastoma, might negatively alter the therapeutic efficacy of anti-angiogenic active immunotherapy. To test this hypothesis, we examined global gene expression profiles of non-hypoxic macrophages stimulated in vitro by soluble factors released from tumor cells of human glioblastoma U-87MG (‘brain TAMs’) or colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 (‘colon TAMs’). Murine non-hypoxic TAMs were induced in vitro by incubation with soluble factors released from human cancer cell lines U-87MG ('brain TAMs') or HT-29 ('colon TAMs'), for RNA extraction and subsequent hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To evaluate homogeneous macrophage populations at different tumour developmental stages, RNA aliquots of control macrophages and TAMs obtained at five different time-points, i.e. 8h, 16h, 24h, 32h and 40h, were pooled and used for screening of differentially expressed genes. The experiments for TAMs as well as for control unstimulated macrophages were performed in triplicates.
