Monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells generated from rhesus macaque bone marrow enrich for regulatory T cells.

ABSTRACT: Putative monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (mMDSC; lineage-HLA-DR-/lo) were generated in 7-day cultures from normal rhesus macaque bone marrow (BM) cells in GM-CSF and IL-6. Three subsets were identified based on their differential expression of CD14, CD33, CD34 and CD11b. Following flow sorting, assessment of the capacity of these subsets to suppress anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated CD4 and CD8 T cell proliferation revealed that the most potent population was CD14hiCD33-/loCD34loCD11bhi. These BM-derived mMDSC markedly increased the incidence of CD4+CD25+CD127-Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in responder T cell populations. They offer potential value in testing the therapeutic efficacy of immunoregulatory mMDSC for the promotion of tolerance in nonhuman primate transplant models.

Project description:BackgroundMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are innate immune cells capable of suppressing T-cell responses. We previously reported the presence of MDSCs with a granulocytic phenotype in the synovial fluid (SF) of mice with proteoglycan (PG)-induced arthritis (PGIA), a T cell-dependent autoimmune model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the limited amount of SF-MDSCs precluded investigations into their therapeutic potential. The goals of this study were to develop an in vitro method for generating MDSCs similar to those found in SF and to reveal the therapeutic effect of such cells in PGIA.MethodsMurine bone marrow (BM) cells were cultured for 3 days in the presence of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The phenotype of cultured cells was analyzed using flow cytometry, microscopy, and biochemical methods. The suppressor activity of BM-MDSCs was tested upon co-culture with activated T cells. To investigate the therapeutic potential of BM-MDSCs, the cells were injected into SCID mice at the early stage of adoptively transferred PGIA, and their effects on the clinical course of arthritis and PG-specific immune responses were determined.ResultsBM cells cultured in the presence of GM-CSF, IL-6, and G-CSF became enriched in MDSC-like cells that showed greater phenotypic heterogeneity than MDSCs present in SF. BM-MDSCs profoundly inhibited both antigen-specific and polyclonal T-cell proliferation primarily via production of nitric oxide. Injection of BM-MDSCs into mice with PGIA ameliorated arthritis and reduced PG-specific T-cell responses and serum antibody levels.ConclusionsOur in vitro enrichment strategy provides a SF-like, but controlled microenvironment for converting BM myeloid precursors into MDSCs that potently suppress both T-cell responses and the progression of arthritis in a mouse model of RA. Our results also suggest that enrichment of BM in MDSCs could improve the therapeutic efficacy of BM transplantation in RA.
