Combined BRAF/MEK inhibition offers significant therapeutic benefit in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant ATCs. However, relapses are common and overall survival remains poor. Compared with differentiated thyroid cancer, a hallmark of ATCs is significant infiltration with myeloid cells, particularly macrophages. ATCs are most common in the aging population, which also has an increased incidence of TET2-mutant clonal hematopoiesis (CH). CH-mutant macrophages have been shown to accelerate CH-associated pathophysiology including atherosclerosis. However, the clinical and mechanistic contribution of CH-mutant clones to solid tumour biology, prognosis and therapeutic response has not been elucidated. Here we show that TET2-mutant CH is enriched in the tumour microenvironment of patients with solid tumours and associated with adverse prognosis in ATC patients. We find that Tet2-mutant macrophages selectively infiltrate mouse BrafV600E-mutant ATC and that their overexpression of Tgfβ-family ligands mediates resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibition. Importantly, inhibition of Tgfβ signalling restores sensitivity to MAPK pathway inhibition, opening a path for synergistic strategies to improve outcomes of patients with ATCs and concurrent CH.2026/09/28GSE307554GSM9226670GSM9226671GSM9226672GSM9226673GSM9226674GSM922667524247307554Mus musculus
