Alternatively activated (M2) macrophage promotes glioma progression and immune escape as the most immunocyte in glioma microenvironment. Finding out the key protein regulating M2 macrophage polarization is necessary for improving treatment. Whether immunity related GTPase M (IRGM) is involved in glioma development and M2 macrophage polarization is unknown. IRGM and M2 macrophage marker CD206 expression were examined using immunohistochemistry among 35 glioma and 11 non-cancerous brain specimens. We found IRGM scores were positively correlated with CD206 scores in glioma specimens and monocyte proportion in blood samples. A172 glioma cells transfected with either IRGM knock-down lentivirus (Lenti-IRGM) or control lentivirus (Lenti-HK) were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. In vivo, xenografted glioma size of the Lenti-IRGM group was smaller and had weaker fluorescence signal than Lenti-HK control group. Immunofluorescence results showed that there was obviously decreased IRGM, CD206, and IL-8 expression in the mice glioma of Lenti-IRGM group than Lenti-HK control group. In vitro, flow cytometry results showed that M2 polarization from THP-1 cocultured with Lenti-IRGM glioma cells decreased in contrast to that with Lenti-HK glioma cells; there were less interleukin-8 (IL-8) and macrophage inflammation protein 3-α (MIP-3α), but more interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the supernatant of Lenti-IRGM glioma cells than matched control. Western blot and immunofluorescence displayed that IRGM strongly promoted sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1), necrosis factor receptor-activating factor 6 (TRAF6) expression and NF-κB transportation to the nucleus. Realtime PCR results demonstrated IRGM also promoted NF-κB downstream cytokines IL-8 and MIP-3α mRNA expression. These data suggested that IRGM could promote glioma development and M2 macrophage polarization by regulating p62/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway-mediated IL-8 production.
