Mesenchymal-Stromal Cell-like Melanoma-Associated Fibroblasts Increase IL-10 Production by Macrophages in a Cyclooxygenase/Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase-Dependent Manner

Abstract: Melanoma-associated fibroblasts (MAFs) are integral parts of melanoma, providing a protective network for melanoma cells. The phenotypical and functional similarities between MAFs and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) prompted us to investigate if, similarly to MSCs, MAFs are capable of modulating macrophage functions. Using immunohistochemistry, we showed that MAFs and macrophages are in intimate contact within the tumor stroma. We then demonstrated that MAFs indeed are potent inducers of IL-10 production in v… Show more

“…Enzyme activity can be calculated by (KYN/TRP) proportion. IDO act as main immunoregulator & transforms tryptophan into kynurenine, which causes cytotoxicity and apoptosis in tumor histology [15,16]. Indomethacin cox-2 inhibitor exhibited raised IDO1 inhibitory activity, which is beneficial for the malignant cells immunotherapy by suppressing interleukin-10 & prostaglandin E2 [19,20].…”

“…Both tumor cells and melanoma-associated fibroblasts (MAFs) produce COX-2 and IDO, inducing the expression of IL-10 in macrophages. Consequently, the pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 and IDO reverts the suppressive phenotype in macrophages ( 93 ). In addition, monocyte-derived macrophages induced by M-CSF upregulate IDO in response to IFN-γ or CD40L to deplete milieu tryptophan and suppress T cell responses to maintain peripheral tolerance ( 94 ).…”

“…Recently, our research group studied MAFs and showed that these cells suppress cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity [ 23 ]. We also found that, similarly to bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs or MSCs), MAFs drive macrophages to produce IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine that suppresses natural anti-cancer immunity [ 24 ].…”
