The cell-biological program termed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) confers on cancer cells mesenchymal traits and an ability to enter the cancer stem cell (CSC) state. However, the interactions between CSCs and their surrounding microenvironment are poorly understood. Here we show that tumor-associated monocytes and macrophages (TAMs) create a CSC-niche via juxtacrine signaling with CSCs. We performed quantitative proteomic profiling and found that the EMT program upregulates the expression of CD90/Thy1 and EphA4, which mediate the physical interactions of CSCs with TAMs by directly binding with their respective counter-receptors on these cells. In response, the EphA4 receptor on the carcinoma cells activates Src and NF-κB, the latter results in the secretion of a variety of cytokines by the CSCs; these cytokines serve to sustain the stem-cell state. Indeed, admixed macrophages enhance the CSC activities of carcinoma cells. These findings underscore the significance of TAMs as important components of the CSC niche.
