Genotoxin-based cancer therapies trigger a DNA damage response (DDR) to eliminate cancer cells but similarly exert profound alterations to the immune cell compartment. Macrophages in the tumor microenvironment are important and multifaceted components in actively sustaining tumor progression but also in clearance of tumor cells and play an important role in the outcome of chemotherapy. Here, we report that post neo-adjuvant chemotherapy macrophages in tumor samples display elevated expression of the immune checkpoint PD-L1. We determined that chemotherapy or direct application of DNA damage to macrophages in vitro triggers a specific MDDR polarization phenotype characterized by increased phagocytic activity, elevated PD-L1 expression, and induction of endotoxin tolerance. Phospho-proteomics analysis revealed epigenetic alterations and ATM-dependent induction of senescence in macrophages upon DNA damage. We propose that ATM-induced senescence and PD-L1 immune checkpoint induction mediate a specific MDDR macrophage polarization that might contribute to chemotherapy responses. Furthermore, our results clarify the functional role of tumor associated macrophages in the context of DNA damage and combination therapies including checkpoint inhibition.
