N2 - CD163+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in the progression of cancer. However, the significance of CD163+ TAMs in malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is still unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of CD163+ TAMs in MPE, and the regulatory effect of an immune adjuvant (pseudomonas aeruginosa-mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin, PA-MSHA, which is used for MPE treatment in clinic) on CD163+ TAMs in MPE. Here, we found that the percentage of CD163+ TAMs in MPE was significantly higher than that in nonmalignant pleural effusion (P<0.001). More importantly, CD163+ TAMs in MPE patients were an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival. M2-related cytokines were highly expressed in MPE-derived CD163+ TAMs than in MPEderived CD163-macrophages (P<0.05). CD163+ TAMs frequency in MPE patients was obviously reduced after PA-MSHA treatment in clinic (P<0.05). After treatment with PA-MSHA, M2 macrophages were re-educated to M1 macrophages in vitro. TLR4 blocking antibody inhibited M2 macrophages polarization to M1 macrophages induced by PA-MSHA. These findings highlight that accumulation of CD163+ TAMs in MPE caused by lung cancer is closely correlated with poor prognosis. CD163+ TAMs are associated with therapeutic effect in MPE. PA-MSHA re-educates CD163+ TAMs to M1 macrophages through TLR4-mediated pathway in MPE.
