The understanding of the relationship between tumor-associated macrophages （TAMs） and lung cancer cells involves in the underlying mechanism of inflammatory cytokine production. Toll-like receptors （TLRs） are engaged in promoting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and play an important role in tumor immunology. Methods： To investigate the mechanisms by which TAMs influence the production of pro-inflammatory cytoldnes in lung cancer cells, we established an in vitro coculture system using TAMs and human non- small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） cell line SPC-A1. Levels of interleukin （IL）-113, IL-6 and IL-8 in SPC-A1 were evaluated by RT-PCR and cytometric bead array assay after being cocultured with TAMs. Expression changes of TLRs and TLRs signaling pathway proteins in SPC-Al were further confirmed by RT-PCR and western blot. The level changes of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 in SPC-Al were also detected after the stimulation of TLRs agonists. Results： We found that the phenotype markers of TAMs were highly expressed after stimulating human monocyte cell line THP-1 by phorbol-12-myristate-β-acetate （PMA）. Higher mRNA and supernate secretion levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 were detected in SPC-A1 after being eocultured with TAMs. We also found that TLR1, TLR6 and TLR7 were up-regulated in SPC-A1 in the coculture system with TAMs. Meanwhile, TLRs signaling pathway proteins were also significantly activated. Moreover, pre-treatment with agonist ligands for TLR1, TLR6 and TLR7 could dramatically promote inductions of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8. Conclusions： These findings demonstrated that TAMs may enhance IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 expressions via TLRs signaling pathway. We conclude that TAMs contribute to maintain the inflammation microenvironment and ultimately promote the development and progression of lung cancer.展开更多
