Perivascular macrophages collaborate to facilitate chemotherapy resistance in cancer
Developmental Cell(2022)
Abstract
A subset of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) identified by their expression of the lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (Lyve-1) reside proximal to blood vasculature and contribute to disease progression. Using a spontaneous murine model of mammary adenocarcinoma ( MMTV-PyMT ), we show that Lyve-1+ TAMs, which co-express heme oxygenase-1, form coordinated multi-cellular ‘nest’ structures in the perivascular niche. We show that TAM nest formation is dependent on IL-6 and a communication axis involving CCR5 and its cognate ligands CCL3/4. We demonstrate that Lyve-1+ TAM nests are associated with CD8+ T-cell exclusion from the tumor and the resistance to immune-stimulating chemotherapeutics. This study highlights an unappreciated collaboration between TAMs and uncovers a spatially driven therapeutic resistance mechanism of these cells in cancer which can be therapeutically targeted.
