This study explored the metabolic heterogeneity involved in TAM2 by constructing TAM2-associated metabolic subtypes in PAAD. The results showed that TAM2 infiltration levels were upregulated in PAAD and were associated with poor patient prognosis. Multiple metabolic processes were aberrantly regulated in PAAD, and this dysregulation was linked to the level of TAM2 infiltration. Based on transcriptomic data, PAAD samples were classified into four TAM2-associated metabolic subtypes, which provided new insights into prognosis prediction and therapy for PAAD patients.
Introduction Tumor-associated macrophage 2 (TAM2) abundantly infiltrates pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PAAD), and its interaction with malignant cells is involved in the regulation of tumor metabolism. In this study, we explored the metabolic heterogeneity involved in TAM2 by constructing TAM2-associated metabolic subtypes in PAAD.Materials and methods PAAD samples were classified into molecular subtypes with different metabolic characteristics based on a multi-omics analysis strategy. 20 PAAD tissues and 10 normal pancreatic tissues were collected for proteomic and metabolomic analyses. RNA sequencing data from the TCGA-PAAD cohort were used for transcriptomic analyses. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess TAM2 infiltration in PAAD tissues.Results The results of transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry showed that TAM2 infiltration levels were upregulated in PAAD and were associated with poor patient prognosis. The results of proteomics and metabolomics indicated that multiple metabolic processes were aberrantly regulated in PAAD and that this dysregulation was linked to the level of TAM2 infiltration. WGCNA confirmed pyruvate and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis as co-expressed metabolic pathways of TAM2 in PAAD. Based on transcriptomic data, we classified the PAAD samples into four TAM2-associated metabolic subtypes (quiescent, pyruvate, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and mixed). Metabolic subtypes were each characterized in terms of clinical prognosis, tumor microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity, and functional mechanisms.Conclusion Our study confirmed that the metabolic remodeling of pyruvate and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis in PAAD was closely related to TAM2. Molecular subtypes based on TAM2-associated metabolic pathways provided new insights into prognosis prediction and therapy for PAAD patients.
