中文摘要：
骨轉移是乳腺癌死亡的主要原因。缺乏有效的治療表明，疾病機制在很大程度上仍然未知。作為腫瘤微環境的關鍵組成部分，巨噬細胞促進腫瘤進展和轉移。在這項研究中，我們發現巨噬細胞在人和小鼠乳腺癌骨轉移中含量豐富。巨噬細胞被清除/耗竭（Liposoma，CP-005-005）顯著抑制骨轉移生長。譜系追蹤實驗表明，這些巨噬細胞主要來源于 Ly6C+CCR2+ 炎性單核細胞。趨化因子受體 CCR2 的消融顯著抑制了骨轉移的生長并延長了生存期。免疫表型分析發現，骨轉移相關巨噬細胞表達高水平的 CD204 和 IL4R。此外，單核細胞/巨噬細胞限制性 IL4R 消融顯著抑制骨轉移生長，IL4R 無效突變單核細胞未能促進骨轉移生長?？傊@項研究確定了以 IL4R 依賴性方式促進乳腺癌骨轉移的單核細胞衍生巨噬細胞亞群。這表明 IL4R 和巨噬細胞抑制對乳腺癌骨病具有潛在的治療益處。
英文摘要：
Bone metastasis is the major cause of death in breast cancer. The lack of effective treatment suggests that disease mechanisms are still largely unknown. As a key component of the tumor microenvironment, macrophages promote tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, we found that macrophages are abundant in human and mouse breast cancer bone metastases. Macrophage ablation（Liposoma，CP-005-005） significantly inhibited bone metastasis growth. Lineage tracking experiments indicated that these macrophages largely derive from Ly6C+CCR2+ inflammatory monocytes. Ablation of the chemokine receptor, CCR2, significantly inhibited bone metastasis outgrowth and prolonged survival. Immunophenotyping identified that bone metastasis–associated macrophages express high levels of CD204 and IL4R. Furthermore, monocyte/macrophage-restricted IL4R ablation significantly inhibited bone metastasis growth, and IL4R null mutant monocytes failed to promote bone metastasis outgrowth. Together, this study identified a subset of monocyte-derived macrophages that promote breast cancer bone metastasis in an IL4R-dependent manner. This suggests that IL4R and macrophage inhibition can have potential therapeutic benefit against breast cancer bone disease.

Bone metastasis was generated through intracardiac injection of 105 tumor cells into 4-wk-old female mice of strains described above. Bioluminescent signal was recorded twice a week using the Photon IMAGER Optima system (Biospace) or IVIS spectrum (PerkinElmer). The region of interest was quantified by Photon IMAGER software or IVIS Living Imaging v4.3.1. Macrophage depletion was performed by i.v. injection of liposome-encapsulated clodronate (1 mg/mouse; Liposoma) twice a week. BLZ945 was given as daily gavage (200 mg/kg body weight; MedChemExpress). CCL2-neutralizing antibody or the control antibody (20 mg/kg body weight; Ortho BiotechOncology) was administered twice a week. Osteoclast depletion was performed by i.p. injections of free clodronate (dichloromethylenediphosphonic acid disodium salt; Sigma-Aldrich; 1 mg/mouse) on day 0, day 1, and then twice a week after tumor was detected.
For adoptive transfer, 1 × 106 monocytes (CD45+CD11b+CSF1R+Ly6C+) from the bone of WT, Ccr2?/?, or Il4ra?/? were sorted and injected via intracaudal injection to mice with detectable bone metastasis. Mice were imaged right before monocyte transfer and on day 1, 3, 7, and 10 for quantification of tumor growth. For lineage tracking, 1 × 106 GFP+ monocytes (from FVB-eGFP or Csf1r-EGFP mice) were injected i.v. into mice with late-stage bone metastasis. Bone and blood were collected 48 h after injection.
