Carrimycin Affects Melanoma Proliferation by Regulating Macrophage Polarization

To investigate whether carrimycin (CAM) affects the occurrence and development of melanoma by regulating the polarization of macrophages, and the following related cell biology assays were used to examine its function. Methods: The effect of CAM on macrophage polarization was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR) and Western blot. Flow cytometry and Cell Counting Kit-8 were used to detect the effect of CAM on mouse macrophages in vitro and in vivo phagocytosis and proliferation. Cell line-derived xenograft model was constructed via B16-F10 to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of CAM on melanoma. Results: In the mRNA level, CAM could up-regulate the levels of TNF-α and iNOS in M1 and down-regulate the level of Arg-1 in M2. In the protein level, CAM can increase the expression of p-STAT1 and decrease the expression of p-STAT3. In the cell line-derived xenograft model, these data shown that the occurrence and CAM development of melanoma was inhibited after CAM treatment, the tumor inhibition rate was 41.6%, and promoted the increase of the number of M1 macrophages (P<0.05). Conclusion: CAM promotes the increase in the number of M1 macrophages in vivo and inhibits the progression of melanoma, suggesting that CAM may achieve anti-tumor effects by inducing the polarization of macrophages to M1.
