描述信息 Bone-invasive Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (BI PitNETs) epitomize an aggressive subtype of pituitary tumors characterized by bone invasion, culminating in extensive bone destruction and fragmentation. This infiltration poses a significant surgical risk due to potential damage to vital nerves and arteries. However, the mechanisms underlying bone destruction caused by PitNETs remain elusive, and effective interventions for PitNET-induced bone destruction are lacking in clinical practice. In this study, we conducted single-cell transcriptomic and spatial transcriptomic profiling of BI PitNETs and Non-BI PitNETs samples to delineate differences in their immune microenvironments. Our study has identified a subset of macrophages with a higher proportion in the BI group, characterized by elevated expression of TNF-α. We named them TNF-α+ TAMs. TNF-α+ TAMs activate CD14+ monocytes by secreting TNF-α, driving their differentiation into osteoclasts and consequent bone destruction. Our study elucidates the critical role of TNF-α+ TAMs in PitNETs-induced bone destruction and highlights the intricate interplay between tumor cells and immune cells, laying a foundation for the development of preventive or therapeutic agents targeting pituitary tumor-induced bone destruction.
