Résumé

The immune landscape of healthy prostate and its alterations during prostate cancer (PCa) progression remain poorly characterized. Using scRNA-sequencing and multiparametric flow-cytometry analysis, we comprehensively characterized immune cells in wild-type and PTEN mouse prostates, a model that closely recapitulates human PCa. PCa in PTEN is marked by the recruitment of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), which represent the dominant immune cell population and resolved into eight distinct states, Trem2 tumor-associated-macrophages (TAMs), and exhausted CD8 T cells. Trem2 TAMs differ from the three main resident macrophage populations in the healthy prostate, exhibiting a strong metabolic and immunosuppressive signature, likely driven by the MIF/HIF1A-signaling axis. This study provides the first detailed characterization of immune cells in the healthy mouse prostate and reveals changes in the immune landscape associated with prostate cancer progression.
