In aged inducible mouse models, Dnmt3a-mutant CHIP prevents while Tet2-mutant CHIP drives orthotopic syngeneic breast cancer progression, with opposing immune microenvironments.
- Why it matters: CHIP mutations rise with age and correlate with worse cancer outcomes, but how specific CHIP genotypes shape solid tumor progression is unclear.
- What they did: The study used inducible murine Dnmt3a- or Tet2-mutant CHIP combined with orthotopic syngeneic breast cancer, profiling tumor-associated macrophages and testing IL-1R1 or CXCR2 blockade in aged Tet2-mutant CHIP mice.
- The result: Dnmt3a-mutant TAMs supported interferon-mediated MHCIIhigh macrophage programs and CD8+ T cell rejection, whereas Tet2-mutant TAMs increased IL-1 and CXCL2, reduced MHCII, and impaired T cell recruitment; blocking IL-1R1 or CXCR2 reduced progression and partially restored anti-tumor immunity.
