dc.description.abstractCancer comes after cardiovascular diseases in terms of mortality rate in the world. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical interventions are the current cancer treatment. Recently, it has been observed that immunothera-peutic approaches provide a significant improvement when used along with these interventions. The mono-nuclear system mainly consists of macrophages that play an active role in the pathology of many diseases because of having high plasticity capacities. Previous research suggested that they can be used as an alternative to cancer treatment. Aim was to investigate the effect of apelin on macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment.Mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells and head and were chosen for this study. The apelin expression was knockdown in neck cell carcinoma cell line SCCL MT1 cells using shRNA technique. SCCL MT1 cells having normal or suppressed apelin expression were co-cultured with mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The effect of co-culturing on the expression of inflammatory genes in RAW264.7 cells was investigated.Suppressed apelin expression in SCCL MT1 cells resulted in elevated pro-inflammatory response in co-cultured macrophages. Expression of the IL113, IL6, and TNF alpha genes significantly increased, however anti-inflammatory cytokine levels were significantly decreased. However, in the control group, a downregulation was deter-mined in pro-inflammatory genes, while an increase was observed in anti-inflammatory genes. The protein levels of these cytokines in concordance with the RT-PCR analysis.As a result of this study, apelin released from cancer cells was found to affect macrophage polarization. These results indicated that the apelin peptide may cause the intense presence of M2-type macrophages in the tumor niche, and the therapeutic approaches targeting of apelin in cancer cells may have a potential role in macrophage polarization.en_US
