Effects of monoclonal antibodies-based angiogenic therapies on TAMs

Monoclonal Antibodies- Based Therapeutic Agent Molecular Target Tumor Type TAM Effect Ref.
Bevacizumab VEGFA Glioblastoma Induces Tie-2+ monocyte infiltration and vast infiltration of M2-like macrophages 86
Increases phosphorylation of STAT3 in macrophages, promoting a tumor supportive phenotype 89
Crossmab,A2V Angiopoietin-2/ VEGFA bispecific Transits TAM from M2-like phenotype to M1-like phenotype. Prolonging tumor-bearing mice survival time 84
MEDI3617 Angiopoietin-2 Promoting tumor vessel normalization and M1-like polarization of TAM when coadministered with cediranib 83
Cetuximab Epidermal growth factor receptor Colorectal carcinoma Increases phagocytosis by macrophages to eliminate circulating cancer cells 72
Activation of M2-like macrophages 85
Heck and neck cancer Ameliorates suppressive phenotypes of Fcγ receptor bearing myeloid cells in cancer patients 112
Trastuzumab HER2 HER2+ breast cancers Decreases CD68+ macrophage infiltration 75
SR1 c-Kit Imatinib resistant GIST Increases phagocytosis in macrophages 73

Abbreviations: EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; GIST, gastrointestinal stromal tumor; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.
