Macrophages of distinct origins contribute to tumor development in the lung
Abstract
Tissue-resident macrophages can self-maintain without contribution of adult hematopoiesis. Herein we show that tissue-resident interstitial macrophages (Res-TAMs) in mouse lungs contribute to the pool of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) together with CCR2-dependent recruited macrophages (MoD-TAMs). Res-TAMs largely correlated with tumor cell growth in vivo, while MoD-TAMs accumulation was associated with enhanced tumor spreading. Both cell subsets were depleted after chemotherapy, but MoD-TAMs rapidly recovered and performed phagocytosis-mediated tumor clearance. Interestingly, anti-VEGF treatment combined with chemotherapy inhibited both Res and Mod-TAM reconstitution without affecting monocyte infiltration and improved its efficacy. Our results reveal that the developmental origin of TAMs dictates their relative distribution, function, and response to cancer therapies in lung tumors.

(B) Dot plots show Ly6C and CD64 expressions of Siglec-F−CD11b+Ly6G− lung cells over time after CP treatment. Mean percentage ± SD of cells in each quadrant are indicated. (C) Blood/tissue partitioning monitoring of lung monocytes and macrophages during tumor growth after chemotherapy (graphs represent mean of the absolute number ± SEM/milligram of tissue, n = 6–10 mice per time point out of two to four independent experiments, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparisons test was performed. Only statistical differences compared with day of treatment [day 0] are indicated for each compartment). (D) Graph shows the absolute number per milligram of tissue of ECFP+-TAMs and EGFP+-TAMs from MacBlue × Cx3cr1EGFP/+ mice after CP (n = 4–10 mice per time point out of three independent experiments, two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparisons test was performed). (E) Lung cryo-sections of TC-1tdTomato tumor-bearing MacBlue × Cx3cr1EGFP/+ mice show TAM subset distribution within tumor nodules following CP treatment. (F) Dot plots show TC-1tdTomato phagocytosis by the indicated mononuclear phagocyte subsets (red). Fluorescent background from nonfluorescent TC-1 tumor is overlaid (left panels; black). Box and whisker graphs show the relative proportion of phagocytic cells among indicated subsets at 10 and 15 d after CP treatment (right panels; n = 9 mice out of three independent experiments).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
