Short Abstract

The prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) is an enzyme playing an important role in the processing within the regulated secretory pathway in the nervous system. We showed by proteomic that PC1/3 is implicated un innate immunity. We demonstrated that PC1/3 inactivated macrophages express an M1-like phenotype, pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines secretion and TLR4 Myd88 dependent signaling activation. Under LPS/taxol challenge, PC1/3 KO cells secrete through store-operated calcium entry increase, a cocktail of pro-inflammatory factors including DAMPS. This secreted factors have been shown to favors Th1 response and inhibit viability and resistance of breast and ovarian cancer cells. This strategy can be used as a potential immune therapy for awaking intratumoral macrophages.

Long Abstract

Introduction

he prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) is an enzyme playing an important role in the processing within the regulated secretory pathway in the nervous system. Recently, a possible implication of PC1/3 in innate immunity has been highlighted. These studies have reported a role of PC1/3 in Toll-like receptor immune response in macrophages. A dysfunctional phenotype characterized by uncontrolled cytokine secretion without stimulation has been observed in PC1/3 knock-out mice and in NR8383 macrophages cell line.

Methods

Here, using lentivirus strategy, we investigated the consequences of PC1/3 down-regulation in NR8383 on the intracellular impact and its biological application to cancer therapy. A proteomic approach (shotgun and FASP) has been undertaken in order to obtain a global vision of secreted and cellular proteins overtime. Results were validated by 3D mixed spheroids macrophages/glioma, ELISA and confocal microscopy.

Results

Under sterile conditions, we demonstrated that PC1/3 inactivated macrophages express an M1-like phenotype characterized by filopodia extensions, pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines secretion (IL-6, CXCL10, TNF-α) and TLR4 Myd88 dependent signaling activation.

Under LPS challenge, PC1/3 KO cells secrete through store-operated calcium entry increase, a cocktail of pro-inflammatory factors including alarmins and chemokines. This secreted factors have been shown to attract naïve T helper lymphocytes (Th0) which favors cytotoxic response. These factors are also able to inhibit viability and resistance of breast and ovarian cancer cells (SKBR3 and SKOV3). Under inhibitory conditions using IL-10, PC1/3 KO cells still continue to produce inflammatory cytokines.

Conclusions & Discussion

These data established that inhibition of PC1/3 increase pro-inflammatory response giving an M1-like phenotype to macrophages. This strategy may be used as a potential immune therapy for awaking intratumoral macrophages.
