ENO2 Induces M2 Macrophage Polarization to Drive Liver Metastasis. a Spatial feature plot showing the deconvoluted proportions of ENO2+ cancer cells and M2 macrophages in ST_liver4. The color scale indicates the predicted cell type weights per spot. Flow cytometry analysis of the macrophage markers CD86 and CD206 in co-culture systems (b) and xenograft tumors (c). d Representative flow cytometry plots showing the expression of CD206 and CD86 on macrophages co-cultured with patient-derived organoid (PDO) models. PDOs were transduced with ENO2 knockout sgRNA (Sg-ENO2 PDO) or ENO2 overexpression vector (ENO2 PDO) compared with their controls (Sg-NC PDO and Vector PDO). e, f Investigation of the effect of ENO2 expression on the formation of liver metastases in a splenic implantation model using C57BL/6 J mice. M2 polarization inhibitor (LPS), MIF inhibitor (ISO-1), M2 polarization agonist (IL-4), and MIF overexpression were used in the rescue experimental system
