However, the intricate interactions between CSF immune cells and infiltrating cancer cells remain poorly understood. Here we use fate mapping, longitudinal time-lapse imaging and multiomics technologies to investigate the precise origin, cellular crosstalk and molecular landscape of macrophages that contribute to leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) progression. Mechanically, we find that dura-derived LM-associated macrophages (dLAMs) migrate into the CSF in a matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14)-dependent manner. Furthermore, we identify that dLAMs critically require the presence of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) in cancer cells for their recruitment, fostering an immunosuppressed microenvironment characterized by T cell exhaustion and inactivation. Conversely, inhibition of the SPP1–MMP14 axis can impede macrophages from bypassing the border barrier, prevent cancer cell growth and improve survival in LM mouse models. Our findings reveal an unexpectedly private source of innate immunity within the meningeal space, shed light on CSF barrier dysfunction dynamics and supply potential targets of clinical immunotherapy. Zhao et al. find that a macrophage subset migrates from the dura matter to reshape the cerebrospinal fluid microenvironment and promote metastasis and show that the secreted phosphoprotein 1–matrix metallopeptidase 14 axis can be targeted to inhibit this.","PeriodicalId":18885,"journal":{"name":"Nature cancer","volume":"5 12","pages":"1940-1961"},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142870516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
