Engineered GM-CSF polarizes protumorigenic tumor-associated macrophages to an antitumorigenic phenotype and potently synergizes with IL-12 immunotherapy by Yue Wang, Kevin Chang, Aslan Mansurov, Jun Ishihara, Seounghun Kang, Trevin Kurtanich, Hye Rin Chun, Anna J Slezak, Lisa R Volpatti, Thomas Wang, Aaron T Alpar, Kirsten C Refvik, O Isabella Hansen, Gustavo J Borjas, Brendan T K Berg, Ha-Na Shim, Kevin T Hultgren, Suzana Gomes, Ani Solanki, Melody A Swartz, Jeffrey A Hubbell

“…Therefore, the rational design of immune modulators that can control the immune suppressive properties of TAMs and polarize them, as well as dendritic cells (DCs), toward a more proinflammatory phenotype is a principal objective in cancer immunotherapy.Methods Here, using a protein engineering approach to enhance cytokine residence in the tumor microenvironment, we examined combined stimulation of the myeloid compartment via tumor stroma-binding granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to enhance responses in both DCs and T cells via stroma-binding interleukin-12 (IL-12). …”
