CSF1, but not IL34, is required for TAM and immune homeostasis within MC38 tumors. Female C57Bl/6 inoculated with MC38 tumors were treated with control, aCSF1, aIL34, or aCSF1/aIL34. MC38 tumors were harvested on day 12 post-initial treatment and the following parameters were evaluated: (A) total CD45+ cells; (B) TAMs per gram (g) tumor; (C) monocytic and granulocytic MDSC populations (mMDSC or gMDSC, respectively); (D) Ki67+TAMs; (E) functional marker analysis within TAMs including proinflammatory NOS2, CD86, as well as the anti-inflammatory marker arginase 1 (Arg1); (F) MHCII and PD-L1 TAM expression; (G) Number of NK, CD8, and CD4 T cells within tumors; (H) CD4+ Teff and Foxp3+ Tregs within tumors; (I) ratio of CD8 T cells to Tregs within tumors; and (J) survival of mice following control antibody aRW or aCSF1/aIL34 (left), and individual tumor growth curves (right). Functional and phenotypic data were derived from 6 to 7 mice per treatment group (AI). Each symbol indicates data from a single tumor harvested from an individual mouse. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
