More Details: Abstract The in vivo functions of SerpinB2 in tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) during breast cancer development and metastasis remain elusive. SerpinB2-deficient MMTV-PyMT mice (PyMTSB2−/−) were previously produced to explore the biological roles of SerpinB2 in breast cancer. Compared with MMTV-PyMT wild-type (PyMTWT) mice, PyMTSB2−/− mice showed delayed tumor progression and reduced CK8 + tumor cell dissemination to lymph nodes. RNA-Seq data revealed significantly enriched genes associated with inflammatory responses, especially upregulated M1 and downregulated M2 macrophage marker genes in PyMTSB2−/− tumors. Decreased CD206+M2 and increased NOS2+M1 markers were detected in the primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes of PyMTSB2−/− mice. In an in vitro study, SerpinB2 knockdown decreased the sphere formation and migration of MDA-MB-231 cells and suppressed protumorigenic M2 polarization of RAW264.7 cells. The combination of low SerpinB2, high NOS2, and low CD206 expression was favorable for survival in patients with breast cancer, as assessed in the BreastMark dataset. Our study demonstrates that SerpinB2 deficiency delays mammary tumor development and metastasis in PyMTWT mice, along with reduced sphere formation and migration abilities of tumor cells and decreased macrophage protumorigenic polarization.
