    Background: During a developmental process, embryos employ varying tactics to remove unwanted cells. Using a procedure analogous to some of the embryonic cells, we generated a tumor-eliminating conditioned medium (CM) from AMPK-inhibited lymphocytes and monocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods: AMPK signaling was inhibited by the application of a pharmacological agent, Dorsomorphin, and the therapeutic effects of their conditioned medium (CM) were evaluated using in vitro cell cultures, ex vivo breast cancer tissues, and a mouse model of mammary tumors and tumor-induced osteolysis. The regulatory mechanism was evaluated using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, gene overexpression, and RNA interference. Results: While AMPK signaling acted mostly anti-tumorigenic, we paradoxically inhibited it to build induced tumor-suppressing cells and their tumor-eliminating CM. In a mouse model of breast cancer, the application of AMPK-inhibited lymphocyte-derived CM reduced mammary tumors additively to a chemotherapeutic agent, Taxol. It also prevented bone loss in the tumor-bearing tibia. Furthermore, the application of CM from the patient-derived peripheral blood diminished ex vivo breast cancer tissues isolated from the same patients. Notably, proteins enriched in CM included Moesin (MSN), Enolase 1 (ENO1), and polyA-binding protein 1 (PABPC1), which are considered tumorigenic in many types of cancer. The tumor-suppressing actions of MSN and ENO1 were at least in part mediated by Metadherin (Mtdh), which is known to promote metastatic seeding. Conclusion: We demonstrated that PBMCs can be used to generate tumor-suppressive proteomes, and extracellular tumor-suppressing proteins such as MSN, ENO1, and PABPC1 are converted from tumor-promoting factors inside cancer cells. The results support the possibility of developing autologous blood-based therapy, in which tumor-suppressing proteins are enriched in engineered PBMC-derived CM by the inhibition of AMPK signaling.
