abstract = {Iron-loaded tumor-associated macrophages (iTAMs) show a
pro-inflammatory phenotype, hallmarked by anti-tumorigenic
activity and an ability to attenuate tumor growth. Here we
explored the relevance of these findings in lung cancer
patients by investigating the impact of the iTAM content in
the tumor microenvironment (TME) on patient survival. We
analyzed 102 human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
paraffin-embedded archival tissue samples for iron levels
and macrophage numbers. Interestingly, patients with lung
adenocarcinoma accumulating iron in the TME show higher
numbers of M1-like pro-inflammatory TAMs and a survival
advantage compared to iron-negative patients. By contrast,
in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma iron in the
TME does not affect survival, suggesting a unique influence
of iron on different histological subtypes of non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC). We conclude that in lung adenocarcinoma
iron may serve as a prognostic marker for patient survival
and as a potential therapeutic target for anti-cancer
therapy.},
