Incidence of thyroid cancer, including papillary thyroid cancer, is rapidly increasing. Oncogenes, such as the BRAFsup.V600E , have been identified, and their effect on thyroid cancer cells have been studied in vitro and in mouse models. What is less understood is the impact of these mutations on thyroid cancer microenvironment and, in turn, the effect of changes in the microenvironment on tumor progression. We investigated the modifications in the cellular composition of thyroid cancer microenvironment using an inducible mouse model. We focused on a subpopulation of macrophages, expressing the STABILIN-1 protein, recruited in the thyroid tumor microenvironment following BRAFsup.V600E expression. CRISPR/Cas9 genetic inactivation of Stablin-1 did not change macrophage recruitment but highlighted the immunosuppressive role of STABILIN-1-expressing macrophages. The identification of a similar subpopulation of STABILIN-1 macrophages in human thyroid diseases supports a conserved role for these macrophages and offers an opportunity for intervention. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent histological subtype of thyroid cancers (TC), and BRAFsup.V600E genetic alteration is found in 60% of this endocrine cancer. This oncogene is associated with poor prognosis, resistance to radioiodine therapy, and tumor progression. Histological follow-up by anatomo-pathologists revealed that two-thirds of surgically-removed thyroids do not present malignant lesions. Thus, continued fundamental research into the molecular mechanisms of TC downstream of BRAFsup.V600E remains central to better understanding the clinical behavior of these tumors. To study PTC, we used a mouse model in which expression of BRAFsup.V600E was specifically switched on in thyrocytes by doxycycline administration. Upon daily intraperitoneal doxycycline injection, thyroid tissue rapidly acquired histological features mimicking human PTC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed major changes in immune signaling pathways upon BRAFsup.V600E induction. Multiplex immunofluorescence confirmed the abundant recruitment of macrophages, among which a population of LYVE-1+/CD206+/STABILIN-1+ was dramatically increased. By genetically inactivating the gene coding for the scavenger receptor STABILIN-1, we showed an increase of CD8+ T cells in this in situ BRAFsup.V600E -dependent TC. Lastly, we demonstrated the presence of CD206+/STABILIN-1+ macrophages in human thyroid pathologies. Altogether, we revealed the recruitment of immunosuppressive STABILIN-1 macrophages in a PTC mouse model and the interest to further study this macrophage subpopulation in human thyroid tissues.
