Abstract Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are abundant in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, their contribution to the immunosuppressive status of the TME remains unclear. Methods We integrated single-cell sequencing and transcriptome data from different tumor types to uncover the molecular features of TAMs. In vitro experiments and prospective clinical tests confirmed the results of these analysis. Results We first detected intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneities between TAM subpopulations and their functions, with CD86+ TAMs playing a crucial role in tumor progression. Next, we focused on the ligand-receptor interactions between TAMs and tumor cells in different TME phenotypes and discovered that aberrant expressions of six hub genes, including FLI1, are involved in this process. A TAM-tumor cell co-culture experiment proved that FLI1 was involved in tumor cell invasion, and FLI1 also showed a unique pattern in patients. Finally, TAMs were discovered to communicate with immune and stromal cells. Conclusion We determined the role of TAMs in the TME by focusing on their communication pattern with other TME components. Additionally, the screening of hub genes revealed potential therapeutic targets.

We report here the discovery of an acidic polysaccharide, namely IAPS-2, from the root of Ilex asprella, with anti-tumor activity via a repolarizing tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) phenotype. We obtained IAPS-2 polysaccharide from this herb based on acidity and found that IAPS-2 expressed the activity of promoting the secretion of anti-tumor cytokines in macrophages. Furthermore, we evaluated its anti-tumor effect on TAM cells, through the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling. In particular, in the tumor murine model, IAPS-2 demonstrated that it could significantly inhibit the growth of tumors via modulating the function of TAMs and increase the animal survival rate. In summary, IAPS-2, with a clearly illustrated chemical composition, potent anti-tumor activity, and a solid mechanism of action, may be developed into a valuable therapeutic tool for cancer immunotherapy.

PHNPs and 3-MA re-polarize TAMs to M1-type by activating the protein of NF-κB p65 and then remodelling the immunosuppressive microenvironment, thus activating immune response and inhibiting tumor growth.
