酷炫:肿瘤相关巨噬细胞3D成像!
- ①肿瘤进展过程中免疫系统的参与,是肿瘤研究的最前沿;
- ②在小鼠肺癌模型中,采用组织光透明技术以及注射肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAM)靶向荧光纳米颗粒(NP),可进行快速肿瘤体积分析,获得在全肺内细胞水平上TAM浸润的空间信息;
- ③TAM的密度,在相同动物上,不同肿瘤之间,具有异质性,独立的肺肿瘤模型中,TAM总密度不同,纳米药物输送与TAM异质性相关;
- ④提高TAM在全部肿瘤和肿瘤内的穿透力,可改善集落刺激因子1受体(CSF-1R)阻断剂的疗效。

Abstract:收起
Involvement of the immune system in tumour progression is at the forefront of cancer research. Analysis of the tumour immune microenvironment has yielded a wealth of information on tumour biology, and alterations in some immune subtypes, such as tumour-associated macrophages (TAM), can be strong prognostic indicators. Here, we use optical tissue clearing and a TAM-targeting injectable fluorescent nanoparticle (NP) to examine three-dimensional TAM composition, tumour-to-tumour heterogeneity, response to colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) blockade and nanoparticle-based drug delivery in murine pulmonary carcinoma. The method allows for rapid tumour volume assessment and spatial information on TAM infiltration at the cellular level in entire lungs. This method reveals that TAM density was heterogeneous across tumours in the same animal, overall TAM density is different among separate pulmonary tumour models, nanotherapeutic drug delivery correlated with TAM heterogeneity, and successful response to CSF-1R blockade is characterized by enhanced TAM penetration throughout and within tumours.
