Here we describe the model and approach to study functions of pulmonary alveolar macrophages in cancer metastasis. To demonstrate the role of these cells in metastasis, the syngeneic (4T1) model of breast cancer in conjunction with the depletion of alveolar macrophage with clodronate liposomes was used.
This paper describes the application of the syngeneic model of breast cancer (4T1) to the studies on a role of pulmonary alveolar macrophages in cancer metastasis. The 4T1 cells expressing GFP in combination with imaging and confocal microscopy are used to monitor tumor growth, track metastasizing tumor cells, and quantify the metastatic burden. These approaches are supplemented by digital histopathology that allows the automated and unbiased quantification of metastases. In this method the routinely prepared histological lung sections, which are stained with hematoxylin and eosin, are scanned and converted to the digital slides that are then analyzed by the self-trained pattern recognition software. In addition, we describe the flow cytometry approaches with the use of multiple cell surface markers to identify alveolar macrophages in the lungs. To determine impact of alveolar macrophages on metastases and antitumor immunity these cells are depleted with the clodronate-containing liposomes administrated intranasally to tumor-bearing mice. This approach leads to the specific and efficient depletion of this cell population as confirmed by flow cytometry. Tumor volumes and lung metastases are evaluated in mice depleted of alveolar macrophages, to determine the role of these cells in the metastatic progression of breast cancer.
The premetastatic niche is an important process in cancer metastasis defined as a set of alterations that occur in the organs that are targets for metastases prior to arrival of tumor cells1,2. Therefore, therapeutic targeting of this step of cancer progression may prevent metastases to the vital organs that cause approximately 90% of cancer-associated deaths. Although the concept of the premetastatic niche, also known as the "seed and soil" theory, was introduced more than a century ago, no experimental proof has been provided until recently, when the bone marrow-derived cells were demonstrated to contribute to the premetastatic soil1,3-7. Despite these developments, the premetastatic niche remains a largely understudied aspect of cancer pathophysiology and further research to identify cellular players and mechanisms involved is needed.
Here we report the in vivo approaches to study the role of alveolar macrophages in breast cancer metastases and the lung premetastatic niche. The alveolar macrophages arrive to the lungs early during the embryonic development and self-renew there during adulthood8. They also have important immunomodulatory and homeostatic functions including the protection of this organ from undesired inflammatory responses to the environmental innocuous antigens9. Therefore, we hypothesize that tumors exploit this physiological immunosuppression, imposed by alveolar macrophages, and, consequently, alveolar macrophages contribute to the lung premetastatic niche by suppressing antitumor immunity. This hypothesis is supported by our recent report demonstrating that the specific depletion of these cells reduces lung metastases and enhances antitumor T cell responses10.
For these studies we apply a well-established syngeneic model of breast cancer (4T1), which mimics stage IV metastatic breast cancer11; and has been previously reported in studies of the premetastatic niche6. To track metastasizing tumor cells in vivo we use 4T1 cells expressing GFP (4T1-GFP) in conjunction with animal imaging and confocal microscopy. We focus on the lung premetastatic niche, since this organ is one of the most common targets of hematogenous metastases of human malignancies12. To investigate functions of alveolar macrophages in the premetastatic niche, we use clodronate liposomes to deplete these cells13; and evaluate impact of this depletion on lung metastases. Of note, this method specifically depletes alveolar macrophages but no other phagocytic cells in the lungs or in circulation10.

The recent insights into cancer biology and causative factors involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression lead to development of genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models of cancer, in which tumors grow spontaneously, usually over a period of several months15. Although these tumor models appear to reflect better the natural history of human malignancies than xenografts or syngeneic models, much time required for tumor development and various degrees of malignant phenotype penetrance limit the use of these...
