Aims: Malignant melanoma is well known for abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) that exist in the primary tumor environment. Within this microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play substantial roles in multiple steps of tumor development in terms of tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. We therefore aimed to determine whether this high-level ROS in primary melanoma is capable to promote tumor invasiveness by influencing TAM properties. Moreover, we wanted to further investigate probable underlying mechanisms. Results: We characterized malignant melanoma TAMs as a heterogeneous phenotype, which possesses both M1 and M2 markers. We also revealed a role for high-level intracellular ROS in enhancing proinvasion signature of TAMs by strongly increasing their tumor necrosis factor secretion, which is possibly attributed to ROS-enhanced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) translocation mediated by MAPK/ERK kinase 1. Innovation: This is the first study demonstrating that high levels of ROS in the primary melanoma environment can influence TAM behaviors. Furthermore, we are also the first to indentify that nucleus-to-cytoplasm translocation of PPAR is significantly upregulated by ROS and responsible for the proinvasiveness capacity of melanoma TAMs. Conclusion: Taken together, our data describe how a high level of ROS plays a critical role in enhancing the proinvasion characteristic of TAMs in malignant melanoma.
