Morusin regulates the migration of M2 macrophages and GBM cells through the CCL4-CCR5 axis
Background
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive tumor in the central nervous system. Tumor-associated macrophage (TAMs) represent a major immune cell population in tumor microenvironment (TME) and exert immunosuppressive effects that impede GBM treatment. Morusin is a flavonoid extracted from mulberry trees and has anti-tumor properties against various cancers, including glioma. However, the impact of morusin on the TME of gliomas has not been explored.
Methods
We evaluated the effect of morusin on the tumor microenvironment using a mouse glioma model through in vivo and in vitro experiments. In vitro experiments demonstrated the effects of morusin on the viability of RAW264.7 and THP1 cells, and the migration ability of M2 macrophages. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of conditioned medium (CM) of morusin-treated M2 macrophages on the migration of glioblastoma cell lines GL261, U87, and U251.
Result
Morusin alleviated the GBM progression and prolonged mouse survival by inhibiting the ratio of macrophages to CD206+ macrophages. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that morusin could effectively inhibit the secretion of the chemokine CCL4 in M2 macrophage which consequently decreased CCL4-dependent CCR5 activation. This leads to the reduced migration of both macrophages and glioblastoma cells in TME. These findings provide a strong rationale for the development of morusin as a potential therapeutic agent for GBM, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other immunotherapeutic strategies, and warrant further preclinical and clinical investigations.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
