Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 and CXCL2 produced by tumor promote the generation of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

ABSTRACT: Accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in tumor-bearing hosts is a hallmark of tumor-associated inflammation, which is thought to be a barrier to immunosurveillance. Multiple factors secreted by tumor cells and tumor stromal cells are reported to be involved in promoting the expansion of MDSC. Herein, we showed that s.c. inoculation of tumor cells and i.v. injection of tumor-conditioned medium increased the number of MDSC. Subsequent investigation elucidated that chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) and CXCL2, which were originally characterized as the chemokines of neutrophils, specifically promoted the expansion of monocytic MDSC (mo-MDSC), a subtype of MDSC, in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Depletion of CXCL1 or CXCL2 in B16F10 cells or in B16F10-bearing mice noticeably decreased the generation of mo-MDSC in bone marrow. Moreover, we found that, in addition to the tumor cells, tumor-infiltrated CD11b⁺ myeloid cells also expressed CXCL1 and CXCL2. Furthermore, CXCL1- and CXCL2-induced increase of mo-MDSC was not correlated with chemotaxis, proliferation or apoptosis of mo-MDSC. These findings show a novel role of CXCL1 and CXCL2 in promoting mo-MDSC generation by favoring the differentiation of bone marrow cells in tumor-bearing conditions, which suggests that inhibition of CXCL1 and CXCL2 could decrease mo-MDSC generation and improve host immunosurveillance.

MicroRNA 449c Mediates the Generation of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells by Targeting STAT6.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) promote tumour progression by contributing to angiogenesis, immunosuppression, and immunotherapy resistance. Although recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) can promote the expansion of MDSCs in the tumour environment, the mechanisms involved in this process are largely unknown. Here, we report that microRNA 449c (miR-449c) expression was upregulated in myeloid progenitor cells upon activation of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) under tumour conditions. MiR-449c upregulation increased the generation of monocytic MDSCs (mo-MDSCs). The increased expression of miR-449c could target STAT6 mRNA in myeloid progenitor cells to shift the differentiation balance of myeloid progenitor cells and lead to an enhancement of the mo-MDSCs population in the tumour environment. Thus, our results demonstrate that the miR-449c/STAT6 axis is involved in the expansion of mo-MDSCs from myeloid progenitor cells upon activation of CXCR2, and thus, inhibition of miR-449c/STAT6 signalling may help to attenuate tumour progression.

Receptor-Interacting Protein Kinase 3 Deficiency Recruits Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells to Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through the Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Ligand 1-Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Receptor 2 Axis.

Project description:Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3) is the core regulator that switches cell death from apoptosis to necrosis. However, its role in tumor immunity is unknown. In this study, decreased RIP3 expression was observed in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which correlates with myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) accumulation. Moreover, RIP3 is a prognosis factor for patients with HCC. We further found that RIP3 knockdown results in an increase of MDSCs and a decrease of interferon gamma-positive (IFN-?+ ) cluster of differentiation 8-positive (CD8+ ) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (IFN-?+ CD8+ T cells) in hepatoma tissues, thus promoting immune escape and HCC growth in immunocompetent mice. By phosphorylating P65Ser536 and promoting phosphorylated P65Ser536 nuclear translocation, RIP3 knockdown increases the expression of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) in HCC cells. RIP3 knockdown induces MDSC recruitment through the CXCL1-chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) axis. Furthermore, a CXCR2 antagonist substantially suppresses MDSC chemotaxis and HCC growth in RIP3 knockout mice. Conclusion: RIP3 deficiency is an essential factor directing MDSC homing to HCC and promoting CXCL1/CXCR2-induced MDSC chemotaxis to facilitate HCC immune escape and HCC progression; blocking the CXCL1-CXCR2 chemokine axis may provide an immunological therapeutic approach to suppress progression of RIP3 deficiency HCC.

Intravenous Immunoglobulins Promote an Expansion of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSC) in CVID Patients.

Project description:Common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID), the most common primary immune deficiency, includes heterogeneous syndromes characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and impaired antibody responses. CVID patients frequently suffer from recurrent infections and inflammatory conditions. Currently, immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) is the first-line treatment to prevent infections and aminorate immune alterations in CVID patients. Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg), a preparation of highly purified poly-specific IgG, is used for treatment of immunodeficiencies as well as for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, as IVIg exerts immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory actions on innate and adaptive immune cells. To determine the mechanism of action of IVIg in CVID in vivo, we determined the effect of IVIg infusion on the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CVID patients, and found that peripheral blood monocytes are primary targets of IVIg in vivo, and that IVIg triggers the acquisition of an anti-inflammatory gene profile in human monocytes. Moreover, IVIg altered the relative proportions of peripheral blood monocyte subsets and enhanced the proportion of CD14+ cells with a transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional profile that resembles that of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). Therefore, our results indicate that CD14 + MDSC-like cells might contribute to the immunoregulatory effects of IVIg in CVID and other inflammatory disorders.

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Recruited by Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 3 Promote the Progression of Breast Cancer via Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase-Protein Kinase B-Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling.

Project description:PurposeNumerous studies have shown that the frequency of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and recurrence. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3 (CCL3) may be secreted by tumor cells and attract MDSCs into the tumor microenvironment. In the present study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms whereby CCL3 is involved in the interaction of breast cancer cells and MDSCs.MethodsThe expression of CCL3 and its receptors was investigated using real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cell counting Kit-8, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to study cell growth, migration, and invasion. Cell cycling, apoptosis, and the frequency of MDSCs were investigated through flow cytometry. Transwell assays were used for co-culture and chemotaxis detection. Markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were determined with western blotting. The role of CCL3 in vivo was studied via tumor xenograft experiments.ResultsCCL3 promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cycling, and inhibited apoptosis of breast cancer cells in vitro. Blocking CCL3 in vivo inhibited tumor growth and metastases. The frequency of MDSCs in patients with breast cancer was higher than that in healthy donors. Additionally, MDSCs might be recruited by CCL3. Co-culture with MDSCs activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway and promoted the EMT in breast cancer cells, and their proliferation, migration, and invasion significantly increased. These changes were not observed when breast cancer cells with CCL3 knockdown were co-cultured with MDSCs.ConclusionCCL3 promoted the growth of breast cancer cells, and MDSCs recruited by CCL3 interacted with these cells and then activated the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway, which led to EMT and promoted the migration and invasion of the cells.

Chemokine C-C motif receptor 5 and C-C motif ligand 5 promote cancer cell migration under hypoxia.

Project description:The chemokine CC motif receptor 5 (CCR5) and its ligands have been reported to be associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Although recent researches have demonstrated a fundamental role of hypoxia in cancer, the effect of hypoxia on the expression and function of CCR5 and its ligands in cancer cells is unknown. Here, we investigated the status of CCR5 and its ligands in cancer cells under hypoxic conditions. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining showed that hypoxia induced a strong increase of CCR5 expression. Dual luciferase assay and mRNA stability analysis indicated that hypoxia-induced CCR5 mRNA expression relied on both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. We detected the expression of CCR5 ligands and found that chemokine CC motif ligand 5 (CCL5) was induced under hypoxia. Recombinant human CCL5 stimulated cell migration rather than cell proliferation under hypoxia, and neutralization of CCL5 inhibited hypoxia-induced migration of cancer cells. Similarly, overexpression of CCR5 increased cell migration, and knockdown of CCR5 attenuated hypoxia-mediated cell migration. We further showed that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) was involved in CCR5 and CCL5 regulation under hypoxia. HIF-1α mRNA levels were highly correlated with CCR5 mRNA and CCL5 mRNA levels in clinical samples. CCR5 and CCL5 were highly expressed in breast cancer lymph nodes metastases. Taken together, our data suggest that CCR5-CCL5 interaction promotes cancer cell migration under hypoxia.

CCL2 produced by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is essential for the accumulation and activation of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Project description:IntroductionThe development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is closely tied with the immune system. C-C motif chemokine ligands (CCL) were proved to lead to immune recruitment and training. Thus, we reckoned CCL2 to be the kernel of immune suppression in PDAC tissues.MethodsWe compared normal pancreatic tissues with PDAC tissues according to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and clinical samples. Flow cytometry was used to identify M-MDSCs. We further demonstrated immune suppression of M-MDSCs according to proliferation rates of CD8+ T cells/CD4+ T cells. Levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Arginase were also tested by flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and western blot analysis. We also analyzed the specific mechanisms by cluster analysis after CCL2 stimulating M-MDSCs.ResultsWe found that CCL2 highly increased in PDAC tissues. CCL2 is positively related to CD33 and CD14, markers of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs). We have demonstrated that CCL2 recruited M-MDSCs into PDAC tissues both in vitro and in vivo. M-MDSCs recruitment is accompanied by sustained immune suppression. Furthermore, we have found that M-MDSCs impeded T cell proliferation and produced high levels of ROS and Arginase, which can be enhanced by CCL2. Mechanistically, CCL2 stimulated M-MDSCs led to a significant upregulation of genes, a large part of which accumulated in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. Treatment of aloesin, MAPK signaling inhibitor, relieved the associated immunosuppressive phenotype induced by CCL2.ConclusionsOur study indicates that PDAC cells produced CCL2, which promoted localized M-MDSC recruitment and immune suppression, thereby promoting tumor progression.

TLR8 ligation induces apoptosis of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) accumulate in tumors and the peripheral blood of cancer patients and demonstrate cancer-promoting activity across multiple tumor types. A limited number of agents are known to impact MDSC activity. TLR8 is expressed in myeloid cells. We investigated expression of TLR8 on MDSC and the effect of a TLR8 agonist, motolimod, on MDSC survival and function. TLR8 was highly expressed in monocytic MDSC (mMDSC) but absent in granulocytic MDSC (gMDSC). Treatment of human PBMC with motolimod reduced the levels of mMDSC in volunteers and cancer donors versus control (P < 0.001). Motolimod did not impact levels of gMDSC. The reduction of mMDSC was due to induced cell death by TLR8 ligation. Pretreatment of PBMC with a FAS neutralizing antibody inhibited motolimod-induced reduction of mMDSC (P < 0.001). Finally, we demonstrated that mMDSC impeded IL-2 secretion by CD3/CD28-activated T cells; IL-2 secretion was partially restored when cells were cocultured with motolimod (142 ± 36 pg/ml vs. 59 ± 13 pg/ml; P = 0.03). There is increasing evidence that MDSCs contribute to the progression of cancer by inhibiting tumor-directed T cells. TLR8 agonists may synergize with cancer immunotherapeutic approaches to enhance the antitumor effects of the adaptive immune response.

Function of chemokine (CXC motif) ligand 12 in periodontal ligament fibroblasts

Project description:The periodontal ligament (PDL) is one of the connective tissues located between the tooth and bone. It is characterized by rapid turnover. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) play major roles in the rapid turnover of the PDL. Microarray analysis of human PDLFs (HPDLFs) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) revealed markedly high expression of chemokine (CXC motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) in the HPDLFs, which plays an important role in the migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The function of CXCL12 in the periodontal ligament was investigated in HPDLFs. CXCL12 in HPDLFs and HDFs was examined by microarray, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR and ELISA. It was also immunohistochemically examined in the PDL in vivo. Chemotactic ability of CXCL12 was evaluated both in PDLFs and HDFs with migration assay of MSCs. The expression of CXCL12 in the HPDLFs was much higher than that in HDFs in vitro. CXCL12 was localized in fibroblasts and extracellular matrix in the PDL in rats. Migration assay demonstrated that the number of migrated MSCs by HPDLFs was significantly higher than that by HDFs. In addition, the migrated MSCs also expressed CXCL12 and several genes that are familiar to fibroblasts. The results suggested that PDLFs are able to synthesize and secrete CXCL12 protein, and that CXCL12 induces migration of MSCs in the PDL in order to maintain rapid turnover of the PDL. The objective of this study was to investigate the function of CXCL12 in the PDL with rapid turnover.Microarray analysis was performed using a Whole Human Genome 8x60K (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) containing approximately 44,000 transcripts. According to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol, total RNAs from HPDLFs and HDFs were labeled with Cy3 and hybridized on the microarray. The hybridization data for HPDLFs were compared with data for HDFs.

Monocytic CCR2(+) myeloid-derived suppressor cells promote immune escape by limiting activated CD8 T-cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a heterogeneous population of cells that accumulate during tumor formation, facilitate immune escape, and enable tumor progression. MDSCs are important contributors to the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that blocks the action of cytotoxic antitumor T effector cells. Heterogeneity in these cells poses a significant barrier to studying the in vivo contributions of individual MDSC subtypes. Herein, we show that granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, a cytokine critical for the numeric and functional development of MDSC populations, promotes expansion of a monocyte-derived MDSC population characterized by expression of CD11b and the chemokine receptor CCR2. Using a toxin-mediated ablation strategy to target CCR2-expressing cells, we show that these monocytic MDSCs regulate entry of activated CD8 T cells into the tumor site, thereby limiting the efficacy of immunotherapy. Our results argue that therapeutic targeting of monocytic MDSCs would enhance outcomes in immunotherapy.

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR up-regulates chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 and promotes proliferation of macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.

Project description:Accumulating evidence demonstrated that Hox antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) serves essential roles in the development and metastasis of several types of cancer. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), high expression of HOTAIR is associated with poor prognosis, and HOTAIR regulates cell migration and proliferation. However, the downstream molecular targets of HOTAIR depend on the cancer cell types, and little is known about the precise molecular mechanisms of HOTAIR involved in cancer development. The present study investigated the role of HOTAIR in HCC cell lines. Notably, the overexpression of HOTAIR in HCC cell lines did not affect cell migration and proliferation capability. In the microarray analysis, C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)2 was identified to be differentially expressed in HOTAIR-overexpressing cells, and it was confirmed that HOTAIR promotes the secretion of CCL2. Furthermore, it was revealed that the proportion of macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were increased when peripheral blood mononuclear cells were co-cultured with HOTAIR-overexpressing cells. Collectively, these data suggest that HOTAIR regulates CCL2 expression, which may be involved in the recruitment of macrophages and MDSCs to the tumor microenvironment.
