Transcriptome sequencing analysis of CSF-1Rhigh TAMs and CSF-1Rlow TAMs in colon adenocarcinoma.
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major component of the leukocyte and a heterogenous population in tumors. Recent reports have increasingly suggested that manipulating the function of TAMs may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy against advanced tumors. Our present work indicates that CSF-1R+ TAMs are abundantly found in a significant proportion of COAD specimens. Therefore,to determine the role of the CSF-1Rhigh TAMs in COAD, we sorted the CSF-1Rhigh TAMs and the CSF-1R low TAMs from the colon adenocarcinomas for Smart-seq2. We found that CSF-1Rhigh TAM infiltration involved in multiple tumor immune signaling pathways. CSF-1Rhigh TAMs mostly exhibited a immunosuppressive phenotypes, and were associated with enhanced levels of Treg cells. CSF-1R high TAMs promotes COAD progression by modulating tumor immunity environment Overall design: RNA samples from CSF-1Rlow TAMs and CSF1Rhigh TAMs in colon adenocarcinomas
