Macrophages and microglia in glioblastoma: heterogeneity, plasticity, and therapy

Journal of Clinical Investigation, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 133(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2023

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive tumor in central nervous system and contains a highly immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME). Tumor-associated macrophages microglia (TAMs) are dominant population of immune cells GBM TME that contribute to hallmarks, including immunosuppression. The understanding TAMs has been limited by lack powerful tools characterize them. However, recent progress on single-cell technologies offers an opportunity precisely at level identify new TAM subpopulations with specific tumor-modulatory functions GBM. In this Review, we discuss heterogeneity plasticity summarize current TAM-targeted therapeutic potential We anticipate use followed functional studies will accelerate development novel effective therapeutics for patients.

The hypoxia-driven crosstalk between tumor and tumor-associated macrophages: mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies

Molecular Cancer, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 21(1)

Published: Sept. 8, 2022

Abstract Given that hypoxia is a persistent physiological feature of many different solid tumors and key driver for cancer malignancy, it thought to be major target in treatment recently. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells tumor microenvironment (TME), which have large impact on development immunotherapy. TAMs massively accumulate within hypoxic regions. represent deadly combination because has been suggested induce pro-tumorigenic macrophage phenotype. Hypoxia not only directly affects polarization, but also an indirect effect by altering communication between macrophages. For example, can influence expression chemokines exosomes, both profound impacts recipient cells. Recently, demonstrated intricate interaction TME relevant poor prognosis increased malignancy. However, there no comprehensive literature reviews molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia-mediated TAMs. Therefore, this review aim collect all recently available data topic provide insights developing novel therapeutic strategies reducing effects hypoxia.

Emerging evidence suggests that metabolic adaptation is a vital hallmark and prerequisite for macrophage phenotype transition.Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) an essential molecular determinant of adaptions in pro-inflammatory macrophages.Post-translational modifications play central role the regulation PKM2.However, doubt remains on whether lactylation PKM2 exists how modulates function PKM2.For first time, our study reports lactate inhibits Warburg effect by activating PKM2, promoting transition macrophages towards reparative phenotype.We identify as substrate confirm occurs mainly at K62 site.We find increases level which its tetramer-to-dimer transition, pyruvate activity reducing nuclear distribution.In short, novel post-translational modification type clarifies potential regulating inflammatory macrophages.

Acetyl-CoA metabolism in cancer

Nature reviews. Cancer, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(3), P. 156 - 172

Published: Jan. 19, 2023

Few metabolites can claim a more central and versatile role in cell metabolism than acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). Acetyl-CoA is produced during nutrient catabolism to fuel the tricarboxylic acid cycle essential building block for fatty isoprenoid biosynthesis. It also functions as signalling metabolite substrate lysine acetylation reactions, enabling modulation of protein response acetyl-CoA availability. Recent years have seen exciting advances our understanding normal physiology cancer, buoyed by new mouse models, vivo stable-isotope tracing approaches improved methods measuring acetyl-CoA, including specific subcellular compartments. Efforts target metabolic enzymes are advancing, with one therapeutic agent targeting synthesis receiving approval from US Food Drug Administration. In this Review, we give an overview regulation cancer relevance major pathways which participates. We further discuss recent tissues tumours potential these therapeutically. conclude commentary on emerging nodes that may impact biology.

Roles of macrophages in tumor development: a spatiotemporal perspective

Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(9), P. 983 - 992

Published: July 10, 2023

Abstract Macrophages are critical regulators of tissue homeostasis but also abundant in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In both primary tumors and metastases, such tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) seem to support development. While we know that TAMs dominant immune cells TME, their vast heterogeneity associated functions only just being unraveled. this review, outline various known TAM populations found thus far delineate specialized roles with main stages cancer progression. We discuss how may prime premetastatic niche enable growth a metastasis then subsequent metastasis-associated can secondary growth. Finally, speculate on challenges remain be overcome research.

Reversal of Lactate and PD-1–mediated Macrophage Immunosuppression Controls Growth of PTEN/p53-deficient Prostate Cancer

Clinical Cancer Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 29(10), P. 1952 - 1968

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss of function occurs in approximately 50% patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), is associated poor prognosis responsiveness to standard-of-care therapies immune checkpoint inhibitors. While PTEN hyperactivates PI3K signaling, combinatorial PI3K/AKT pathway androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has demonstrated limited anticancer efficacy clinical trials. Here, we aimed elucidate mechanism(s) resistance ADT/PI3K-AKT axis blockade, develop rational strategies effectively treat this molecular subset mCRPC.Prostate-specific PTEN/p53-deficient genetically engineered mice (GEM) established 150-200 mm3 tumors, as assessed by ultrasound, were treated either ADT (degarelix), inhibitor (copanlisib), or anti-PD-1 antibody (aPD-1), single agents their combinations, tumors monitored MRI harvested for immune, transcriptomic, proteomic profiling, ex vivo co-culture studies. Single-cell RNA sequencing on human mCRPC samples was performed using 10X Genomics platform.Coclinical trials GEM revealed that recruitment PD-1-expressing tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) thwarts ADT/PI3Ki combination-induced tumor control. The addition aPD-1 combination led TAM-dependent 3-fold increase responses. Mechanistically, decreased lactate production from PI3Ki-treated cells suppressed histone lactylation within TAM, resulting phagocytic activation, which augmented ADT/aPD-1 treatment abrogated feedback activation Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
