Characterization of tumor-associated-macrophage of breast cancer patient-derived xenografts

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to characterize the stroma displayed by different models of breast cancer tumors in mice. For this purpose, transcriptomic and flow cytometry analyses on murine populations were performed in a series of 25 PDXs and 2 most commonly used GEMs (MMTV-PyMT and MMTV-erBb2). Specifically, macrophages from 5 models were sorted and profiled by gene expression and phenotypically characterized by flow cytometry. Composition of hematopoietic cells, mainly macrophages and granulocytes, varied tumor from tumor. Macrophages were shown to display specific polarization phenotype related to M1/M2 classification and associated with genes implicated in recruitment, invasion and metastasis processes. The heterogeneity of stroma component of the studied models suggests that tumor cells educate their microenvironment to fulfill their needs. This observation therefore supports the relevance of such models for preclinical study purposes.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of the cancer cells-macrophages interactions growing in vitro conditions as a co-culture. The five canine mammary cancer cell lines were cultured with monocytes sorted from the canine blood for 72hrs. Then, the cancer cells and macrophages were sorted and the gene expression analysis was conducted. The control for each co-cultured cell line was the same cell line growing as a single culture, whereas the control for the macrophages growing in a co-culture conditions were macrophages growing as a single culture. Solid tumors are comprised of various cells, like cancer cells, resident stromal cells, migratory hemopoietic cells and so on. These cells regulate tumor growth and metastasis. Macrophages are probably the most important element of the interactions within the tumor microenvironment. However, the molecular mechanism how the tumor environment can educate tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward a tumor-promoting phenotype still remains unknown. Moreover, there are no information how the presence of macrophages change the cancer cells phenotype. Exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of these phenomena was the aim of this study.
