Abstract

Primary tumors are drivers of pre-metastatic niche formation, but the coordination by the secondary organ toward metastatic dissemination is underappreciated. Here, by single-cell RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence, we identified a population of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)-expressing adventitial fibroblasts that remodeled the lung immune microenvironment. At steady state, fibroblasts in the lungs produced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which drove dysfunctional dendritic cells (DCs) and suppressive monocytes. This lung-intrinsic stromal program was propagated by tumor-associated inflammation, particularly the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β, supporting a pre-metastatic niche. Genetic ablation of Ptgs2 (encoding COX-2) in fibroblasts was sufficient to reverse the immune-suppressive phenotypes of lung-resident myeloid cells, resulting in heightened immune activation and diminished lung metastasis in multiple breast cancer models. Moreover, the anti-metastatic activity of DC-based therapy and PD-1 blockade was improved by fibroblast-specific Ptgs2 deletion or dual inhibition of PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4. Collectively, lung-resident fibroblasts reshape the local immune landscape to facilitate breast cancer metastasis.

摘要

原发肿瘤是形成转移前龛的驱动因素,但次级器官对转移扩散的协调作用还未被充分认识。在这里,我们通过单细胞 RNA 测序和免疫荧光技术,鉴定了一群表达环氧化酶 2 (COX-2)的外膜成纤维细胞,它们重塑了肺部免疫微环境。在稳定状态下,肺部的成纤维细胞产生前列腺素 E2 (PGE2),这导致功能失调的树突状细胞 (DCs)和抑制性单核细胞增多。这种肺固有基质程序被肿瘤相关炎症,特别是促炎细胞因子白细胞介素-1β所传播,支持了转移前龛的形成。成纤维细胞中 Ptgs2(编码 COX-2)的基因缺失足以逆转肺驻留髓样细胞的免疫抑制表型,导致多种乳腺癌模型中免疫激活增强和肺转移减少。此外,基于 DC 的治疗和 PD-1 阻断的抗转移活性通过成纤维细胞特异性 Ptgs2 缺失或 PGE2 受体 EP2 和 EP4 的双重抑制得到改善。总之,肺驻留成纤维细胞重塑局部免疫景观,促进乳腺癌转移。
