Abstract

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute major infiltrates of solid tumors and express a marker profile that characterizes alternatively activated macrophages (MФs). TAMs accumulate in hypoxic tumor regions, express high amounts of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and contribute to tumor angiogenesis and invasiveness. However, the precise role of HIF-1 on MФ infiltration and phenotype alterations remains poorly defined. Therefore, we cocultured wild type (wt) versus HIF-1α(-/-) MФs with tumor spheroids. Both, wt and HIF-1α(-/-) MФs, infiltrated hypoxic regions of tumor spheroids at equal rates and got alternatively activated. Interestingly, significantly higher amounts of HIF-1α(-/-) MФs expressed the TAM markers CD206 and stabilin-1 compared with wt phagocytes. Stimulation of infiltrated TAMs with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/interferon-γ revealed a reduced expression of the pro-inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase in HIF-1α(-/-) MФs. Furthermore, HIF-1α(-/-) MФs were less cytotoxic toward tumor cells. Although infiltration of MФs increased the invasive potential of tumor spheroids independently of HIF-1, the ability to stimulate differentiation of stem cells toward CD31-positive cells was triggered by wt but not by HIF-1α(-/-) MФs. Our data suggest that HIF-1α-deficient MФs develop a more prominent TAM marker profile accompanied by reduced cytotoxicity, whereas HIF-1 seems indispensable for the angiogenesis-promoting properties of TAMs.

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.
