Macrophage phenotypes and their relation to clinical prognosis in osteosarcoma.

Species Detection Methods Markers of Phenotypes Different Phenotypes of Infiltrating Macrophages Prognosis Impact Ref.
Human Microarray and IHC analysis Pan-marker: CD14; M1: HLA-DRα; M2: CD163 Higher CD14 expression in the non-metastasis group Higher CD14+ macrophages correlated with metastasis suppression and better OS while M1or M2 not significant (43)
Human CIBERSORT algorithm Not mentioned M0 (0.23 ± 0.1) and M2 (0.24 ± 0.13) fraction of infiltrating immune cells Higher M1 and M2 macrophages with better OS (34)
Human CIBERSORT algorithm Not mentioned Not mentioned Higher M0 and lower M2 macrophages with better prognosis (44)
Human IHC analysis M2:CD163; Pan-marker: CD68 High CD163 staining rate (43.8%) and high CD68 staining rate (23.4%) Higher CD163 macrophages with better OS and MPFS (45)
Human IHC analysis Pan-marker: CD68; M1: iNOS Higher INOS+ macrophages in primary tumor tissues of patients of non-metastasis group Higher CD68+ macrophages with Better OS (40)
Human IHC analysis Pan-marker: CD68 Not mentioned Higher CD68+ macrophage with poorer five year-EFS (46)
Human IHC analysis Pan-marker: CD68; M2:CCL18 Higher CD68 in lung metastasis than primary osteosarcoma tissues Higher CCL18+CD68+ macrophages with poorer prognosis (47)
Human IHC analysis Pan-marker: CD14, CD68 ratio of CD14+/CD68+ TAMs relative to CD45+ cell (6–25%) Not mentioned (33)
Human IHC analysis M2: CD209 CD209 positive staining rate (78.57%) Not mentioned (35)
Expression analysis of GEO data M2: CD163, MRC1 and CCR2 higher gene expression levels of CD163, MRC1 and CCR2 in tumor Not mentioned
Human IHC, PCR and WB analysis M2: CD206, Arg-1 and Ym-1 Upregulation of CD206, Arg-1 and Ym-1 in osteosarcoma tissue than adjacent non-tumor tissue Not mentioned (37)

Higher CD68, lower iNOS and unchanged CD163 in metastasis than corresponding primary osteosarcoma tissues Not mentioned
NOD/SCID mice FACS analysis Pan-marker: F4/80; M2: CD163 Upregulation of CD163+/F4/80+ in 3 weeks after tumor implantation Not mentioned (41)
BALB/c nude mice IHC analysis Pan-marker: F4/80 Higher F4/80+ cells in lung metastases than corresponding primary osteosarcoma tissues Not mentioned (39)
BALB/c mice FACS analysis M1: MHC-II; M2: CD206 Higher CD206+/MHC-II macrophages and unchanged CD206/MHC-II+ in metastatic mouse lung tissue than control lung tissue Not mentioned (42)
