Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism of Qiyu Sanlong Decoction (QYSLD) inducing M2 / M1 macrophage polarization through PTEN pathway. Methods Lewis lung cancer cell line (LLC) was subcutaneously inoculated into the right lower limb of C57BL/6 mice to establish a lung cancer animal model. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into the model group and the QYSLD (80.48 g·kg-1) group. Intragastric administration was started when the tumor volume was approximately 150 mm3, once a day for 15 consecutive days. The model group was ig administered 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The tumor samples of the mice were subjected to transcriptome analysis, including transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. The percentages of M1 and M2 type macrophages, CD8+ T cells, and CD4+ T cells in the tumor tissues were detected by flow cytometry. Mouse peritoneal primary macrophages were cultured in vitro, and the M2 type model was constructed by stimulating with 40 ng·mL-1 IL-4. The groups included the model group, 20% blank serum group, 20% QYSLD-containing serum group (prepared by ig administering 13.96 g·kg-1 QYSLD to rats once every 12 hours for 3 d), and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS, positive drug, 20 ng·mL-1) group. The levels of CD206 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells were detected by flow cytometry. The relative mRNA expression levels of arginase-1 (Arg-1), CC chemokine ligand 24 (CCL24), chemokine ligand 17 (CXCL17), interleukin (IL)-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and PTEN were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-10, IL-12, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the supernatant were detected by ELISA. For the M2 type mouse peritoneal primary macrophages, the groups included the model group, 20% blank serum group, 20% QYSLD-containing serum group, PTEN inhibitor group, and QYSLD-containing serum + PTEN inhibitor group. They were co-cultured with CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells, and the secretion levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and IL-2 in the supernatant of each group were detected by ELISA. The expression of CD279, CD69, and CD366 was detected by flow cytometry. Results In the in vivo experiments, the transcriptome sequencing results indicated that M1/M2 type tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and CD4+/CD8+ T cells were related to the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by QYSLD. QYSLD decreased the intracellular glucose homeostasis of tumor tissues (P < 0.05), and CD4+ T cells, monocytes, and NK cells had a higher dependence on carbohydrate catabolism. Compared with the model group, the ratio of M1/M2 in the NSCLC tissues of the QYSLD group increased (0.24→0.37), and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T cells decreased (0.39→0.20). In the in vitro experiments, compared with the blank serum, the serum containing QYSLD could effectively reduce the expression of CD206 on the surface of macrophages and the mRNA expression of Arg-1, CCL24, CXCL17, and IL-10 related to M2 type macrophages (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001), and increase the mRNA expression of TNF-α and PTEN related to M1 type macrophages (P < 0.01, 0.001). The drug-containing serum significantly reduced the secretion of IL-10 protein (P < 0.01) and significantly increased the secretion of M1 type macrophage-related proteins IL-12, iNOS, and COX-2 (P < 0.01). Compared with the blank serum group, after adding QYSLD, both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells increased the expression of IFN-γ, IL-2 (P < 0.01), and CD69, indicating that they were activated. Compared with the 20% drug-containing serum group, after adding the PTEN inhibitor, the expressions of IL-2, IFN-γ (P < 0.01), CD69 and CD279 were down-regulated. Conclusion QYSLD promotes the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages to M1 type and the activation of T cells by activating the PTEN pathway, improves the tumor immune microenvironment.
