A new study by Folkert et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20230420) defines an "iron-rich" subset of tumor-associated macrophages (iTAMs). The metabolism of heme leads to the degradation of the transcriptional repressor Bach1 and shapes the transcriptional profile of iTAMs. The endothelin receptor B in iTAMs signals tumor-supportive functions.
一项由 Folkert 等人开展的新研究(https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20230420)定义了肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)中的“富含铁”亚群。血红素代谢导致转录抑制因子 Bach1 的降解,并塑造 iTAMs 的转录特征。iTAMs 中的内皮素受体 B 信号转导支持肿瘤的功能。
