Transcription factor STAT3 has a prominent innate immunity effect on cancer progression. We determined the regulation of STAT3 in the immunophenotype modulation of macrophages from M1 into M2 induced by the cell-culture supernatant of the Prostate-Cancer line PC3. Monocytes-macrophages from healthy donors were cultured in the supernatant of PC3 cells, membrane proteins, and intracytoplasmic and phosphorylated STAT3 were measured using flow cytometry, while cytokines and growth factors were studied using luminescence. Cytotoxicity and nitric oxide were evaluated via colorimetric assays. The supernatant of PC3 prostate-tumor cells effectively induced macrophages toward an M2 profile, and the expression of phosphorylated STAT3 in the monocytes-macrophages notably increased, and mainly related to IL-10. In the group of monocytes-macrophages treated with a STAT3 inhibitor, the macrophages were induced toward an M1 phenotype. In this study, we showed that the secretion profile of PC3 prostate-cancer cells induces a change in macrophage phenotype from M1 into M2, and that the phenomenon is related to phosphorylation of transcription factor STAT3 and IL-10.
