摘要

Abstract Tumor-infiltrating immune cells and their crosstalk with cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play a crucial role in shaping tumor progression and response to therapy. We utilized 3-dimensional liver cancer spheroids incorporating human primary monocytes to investigate the crosstalk between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, HepG2 and PLC/PRF/5. Using multiplexed gene expression panels, the critical pathways involved in shaping primary human monocytes to adopt TAMs phenotypes were identified. The specific inhibitor for an identified pathway was used to explore its involvement in polarization of TAMs. In the cocultured spheroids comprising the human HCC cell lines, the infiltrating monocytes resembled protumor M2-like macrophage phenotypes. Gene expression panels of the infiltrating monocytes demonstrated that the upregulated genes were enriched in the cholesterol metabolism pathway. Cholesterol metabolism–related genes were upregulated together with the nuclear receptors, PPARG and LXR. When lysosomal acid lipase (LAL), the key enzyme necessary for the hydrolysis of lipoprotein, was inhibited, infiltrating monocytes in 3-dimensional spheroid coculture showed significantly decreased M2 marker and lipid uptake receptor expression as well as increased cellular lipid content, which indicated that cholesterol metabolism was important for conditioning the TAMs. Moreover, LAL inhibition reduced the spheroid growth and invasiveness of HCC cell lines. Small interfering RNA–mediated LAL silencing in monocytes yielded similar results upon spheroid coculture. These data indicated that liver cancer cells and infiltrating monocytes participate in crosstalk via cholesterol metabolism to condition monocytes toward TAMs, which favors tumor growth and survival, thereby promoting liver cancer progression.
