中文摘要
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是中枢神经系统中最具侵袭性的原发性肿瘤形式,主要影响年长的男性个体。GBM的免疫格局在很大程度上受胶质瘤相关小胶质细胞和浸润性巨噬细胞(GAMs)的影响,两者合计可占肿瘤质量的45%。这些细胞具有高度可塑性,能够根据不同的环境信号在抗肿瘤、促炎(M1样)和促肿瘤、抗炎(M2样)状态之间转换表型。对这种可塑性的表观遗传调控已成为重编程TME内先天免疫的一种有前景的治疗策略。在此,我们证明选择性IIb类HDAC抑制剂处理主要将巨噬细胞和小胶质细胞重编程为促炎、吞噬和肿瘤杀伤状态。利用BV2小胶质细胞系和骨髓来源的巨噬细胞,我们发现IIb类HDAC抑制剂增加M1标志物、降低M2表型并增强吞噬作用。有趣的是,它们增强了M1样和M2样细胞的小胶质细胞迁移,这可能反映了这些脑内驻留免疫细胞固有的迁移能力,它们持续进行监视并对环境信号快速做出反应。相比之下,这些IIb类抑制剂降低了巨噬细胞的迁移,凸显了这两类细胞之间的功能分歧。为了在生理相关系统中进一步验证我们的发现,我们优化了一套从小鼠脑中分离高纯度原代小胶质细胞的稳健方案。未来的工作包括转录组分析和体内研究,以评估治疗疗效和免疫重塑。我们的结果支持将IIb类HDAC抑制作为一种有前景的策略来调节GBM中的免疫反应,并提示靶向髓系细胞可塑性可能增强GBM中免疫治疗反应的疗效。

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) stands as the most aggressive form of primary tumor in the central nervous system, primarily affecting older male individuals. The immune landscape in GBM is significantly influenced by Glioma-associated microglia and infiltrating macrophages (GAMs), which together account for up to 45% of the tumor mass. These cells are highly plastic and can shift their phenotype between tumor-fighting, pro-inflammatory (M1-like) and tumor-supportive, anti-inflammatory (M2-like) states in response to different environmental cues. Epigenetic regulation of this plasticity has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to reprogram innate immunity within the TME. Here, we demonstrated that selective class IIb HDAC inhibitor treatment reprograms primarily macrophages and microglia toward a pro-inflammatory, phagocytic, and tumor-killing state. Using the BV2 microglial cell line and bone marrow-derived macrophages, we found that HDAC class IIb inhibitors increased M1 markers, decreased M2 phenotype, and enhanced phagocytosis. Interestingly, they enhanced microglial migration in both M1-like and M2-like cells, potentially reflecting the innate migratory capacity of these resident immune cells in the brain, which are constantly surveilling and rapidly responding to environmental cues. In contrast, these class IIb inhibitors reduced macrophage migration, underscoring the functional divergence between these cell types. To further validate our findings in a physiologically relevant system, we optimized a robust high-purity primary microglia isolation protocol from murine brains. Future work includes transcriptomic profiling and in vivo studies to assess therapeutic efficacy and immune remodeling. Our results support HDAC class IIb inhibition as a promising strategy to modulate immune responses in GBM and suggest that targeting myeloid cell plasticity may enhance the efficacy of immunotherapeutic responses in GBM.
