ORIGINAL ARTICLE Stromal Macrophage Expressing CD204 is Associated with Tumor Aggressiveness in Lung Adenocarcinoma Yoichi Ohtaki, MD,*†‡ Genichiro Ishii, MD, PhD,* Kanji Nagai, MD, PhD,† Satoshi Ashimine, MD,* Takeshi Kuwata, MD,* Tomoyuki Hishida, MD, PhD,† Mitsuyo Nishimura, MD, PhD,† Junji Yoshida, MD, PhD,† Izumi Takeyoshi, MD, PhD,‡ and Atsushi Ochiai, MD, PhD* of M2 macrophages, were significantly correlated with the numbers Background: Tumor tissue is composed of variable numbers of of CD204-positive macrophages (p 0.031 and p 0.031, respec- cancer cells and stromal cells, and tumor-associated macrophages tively). are recruited into cancer-induced stroma and produce a specific Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that CD204-positive mac- microenvironment. Alternatively, activated macrophages (M2 phe- rophages clearly reflect the tumor-promoting phenotype of tumor- notype) are known to be related to tumor progression and outcome, associated macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma. and CD204 has been reported to be expressed in M2 macrophages in Key Words: Macrophage, Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), some tumors. Lung cancer, Stroma, CD204. Methods: To investigate whether CD204-positive macrophages reflect tumor aggressiveness in adenocarcinoma of the lung, we (J Thorac Oncol. 2010;5: 1507–1515) investigated the relationships between the numbers of CD204- positive stromal macrophages and both clinicopathological features and outcome in 170
