Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are highly immunosuppressive myeloid cells, which increase in cancer patients. The molecular mechanism behind their generation and function is unclear. Whereas granulocytic-MDSCs correlate with poor overall survival in breast cancer, the presence and relevance of monocytic-MDSCs (Mo-MDSCs) is unknown. Here we report for the first time an enrichment of functional blood Mo-MDSCs in breast cancer patients before they acquire a typical Mo-MDSC surface phenotype. A clear population of Mo-MDSCs with the typical cell surface phenotype (CD14+HLA-DRlow/-Co-receptorlow/-) increased significantly first during disease progression and correlated to metastasis to lymph nodes and visceral organs. Furthermore, monocytes, comprising the Mo-MDSC population, from patients with metastatic breast cancer resemble the reprogrammed immunosuppressive monocytes in patients with severe infections, both by their surface and functional phenotype but also at their molecular gene expression profile. Our data suggest that monitoring the Mo-MDSC levels in breast cancer patients may represent a novel and simple biomarker for assessing disease progression. Peripheral blood monocytes were isolated using magnetic cell sorting from 4 patients with metastatic breast cancer, 3 healthy controls, 3 patients with sepsis and 3 patients with active tuberculosis were immediately frozen at -80C in TRIZOL.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells that accumulate in the tumor microenvironment (TME). MDSCs have been shown to dampen anti-tumor immune responses and promote tumor growth; however, the mechanisms of MDSC induction and their role in promoting immune suppression in cancer remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized the phenotype and function of monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs) generated by co-culture of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with SK-MEL-5 cancer cells in vitro. We selected the SK-MEL-5 human melanoma cell line to generate M-MDSCs because these cells form subcutaneous tumors rich in myeloid cells in humanized mice. M-MDSCs generated via SK-MEL-5 co-culture expressed low levels of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, high levels of CD33 and CD11b and suppressed both CD8+ T cell proliferation and IFN-γ secretion. M-MDSCs also expressed higher levels of immunoglobulin-like transcript 3 (ILT3, also known as LILRB4) and immunoglobulin-like transcript 4 (ILT4, also known as LILRB2) on the cell surface compared to monocytes. We, therefore, investigated how ILT3 targeting could modulate M-MDSC cell function. Treatment with an anti-ILT3 antibody impaired the acquisition of the M-MDSC suppressor phenotype and reduced the capacity of M-MDSCs to cause T cell suppression. Finally, in combination with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), ILT3 blockade enhanced T cell activation as assessed by IFN-γ secretion. These results suggest that ILT3 expressed on M-MDSCs has a role in inducing immunosuppression in cancer and that antagonism of ILT3 may be useful to reverse the immunosuppressive function of M-MDSCs and enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Project description:p16 and p21 act as tumor suppressors through induction of cellular senescence. However, senescence-independent roles of these CDK inhibitors are not known. To identify the mechanism responsible for the failure of Mo-MDSCs (monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells) infiltration into tumor allografts in p16/p21-double knockout (DKO) mice, we searched for chemokine receptors that were highly expressed in Mo- but not PMN-MDSCs (polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells) and were downregulated in p16/p21-DKO as compared to WT Mo-MDSCs. Ccr2, Ccr5, and Cx3cr1 were identified by RNA-seq analysis.

Project description:Tumor growth is associated with a profound alteration of myelopoiesis, leading to recruitment of immunosuppressive cells known as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Analyzing the cytokines affecting myelo-monocytic differentiation produced by various experimental tumors, we found that GM-CSF, G-CSF, and IL-6 allowed a rapid generation of MDSCs from precursors present in mouse and human bone marrow (BM). BM-MDSCs induced by GM-CSF+IL-6 possessed the highest tolerogenic activity, as revealed by the ability to impair the priming of IFN- -producing CD8+ T cells upon in vivo adoptive transfer. Moreover, adoptive transfer of syngeneic, GM-CSF+IL-6-conditioned MDSCs to diabetic mice transplanted with allogeneic pancreatic islets resulted in long term acceptance of the allograft and correction of the diabetic status. Cytokines inducing MDSCs acted on a common molecular pathway. Immunoregulatory activity of both tumor-induced and BM-derived MDSCs was entirely dependent on C/EBP transcription factor, a key component of the emergency myelopoiesis triggered by stress and inflammation. Adoptive transfer of tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes resulted in therapy of established tumors only in mice lacking C/EBP in myeloid compartment. These data unveil another link between inflammation and cancer and identify a novel molecular target to control tumor-induced immune suppression. We used gene expression analysis to identify those factors, secreted by tumor-infiltrating MDSC, which could drive emathopoiesis. Moreover we compare gene expression profile of tumor-induced MDSC, obtained from either the spleen and the tumor infiltrate of tumor bearing mice, and in vitro bone marrow-derived MDSC. CD11b+ cells were immunomagnetically enriched from various murine tissue and experimental conditions, and cRNA samples were prepared accordingly to Expression Analysis: Technical Manual. 701021 Rev. 5. Santa Clara, CA, Affymetrix; 2004, and hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430 2.0 array which contains more than 45,000 probe sets, representing more than 34,000 genes. CD11b+ cells obtained from the spleen of healthy BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were used as reference sample for tumor induced CD11b+ MDSC, enriched from either the spleen and the tumor infiltrate of tumor-bearing mice. Moreover CD11b+ cells enriched from fresh bone marrow were used as reference sample for in vitro bone marrow-differentiated MDSC, obtained with either GM-CSF+IL-6 and GM-CSF+G-CSF 4 days cytokine cocktail treatment.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are increased by tumor-derived factors and suppress anti-tumor immunity. MDSCs obtained at a late time point after tumor injection had stronger suppressive activity than MDSCs obtained at an early time point, as measured by T cell proliferation assays. To find factors in MDSCs that change during tumor growth, we analyzed gene expression profiles from MDSCs at different time points after tumor injection. We found that immune response-related genes were down-regulated, but pro-tumor function-related genes were up-regulated in both Mo-MDSCs and PMN-MDSCs at the late time point. Among differentially expressed genes, FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP51), which is a member of the immunophilin protein family and plays a role in immunoregulation, was increased in the Mo- and PMN-MDSCs isolated from the late time points. Experiments using siRNA and a chemical inhibitor of FKBP51 revealed that FKBP51 contributes to the regulation of the suppressive function of MDSCs by increasing iNOS, ARG1, and ROS levels and enhancing NF-kappaB activity. Collectively, our data suggest that FKBP51 is a novel molecule that can be targeted to regulate the immunosuppressive function of MDSCs. To identify the factors that licensed MDSCs to be more suppressive as tumors grow, we analyzed gene expression profiles in the two subsets of MDSCs at different time points (3wks, 6wks) during tumor progression. CD11b+Ly-6C(high)Ly-6G(low) Mo-MDSCs and CD11b+Ly-6C(low)Ly-6G(high) PMN-MDSCs were sorted from pooled spleens of naïve mice and Her-2/CT26 tumor-bearing mice. Total RNA was purified and gene expression was analyzed by the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are myeloid precursors which exert potent immunosuppressive properties in cancer. Despite the extensive knowledge on mechanisms implicated in mobilization, recruitment and function of MDSCs, still their therapeutic targeting remains an unmet need in cancer immunotherapy suggesting that unappreciated mechanisms of MDSC-mediated suppression exist. Herein, we demonstrate an important role of NLRP3 inflammasome in the functional properties of MDSCs in tumor-bearing hosts. Specifically, Nlrp3-deficient mice exhibited reduced tumor growth compared to wild-type animals and induction of robust anti-tumor immunity, accompanied by re-wiring of the MDSC compartment. Interestingly, both monocytic (M-MDSCs) and granulocytic (G-MDSCs) subsets from Nlrp3-/- mice displayed impaired suppressive activity and demonstrated significant transcriptomic alterations supporting the loss-of-function and associated with metabolic re-programming. Finally, therapeutic targeting of NLRP3 inhibited tumor development and re-programmed the MDSC compartment. These findings propose that targeting NLRP3 in MDSCs could overcome tumor-induced tolerance and may provide new checkpoints of cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Background: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) could prevent allograft rejections and induce immune tolerance in transplantation models. Previous studies demonstrated that inhibition of mTOR signal could enhance MDSCs protective effect in cardiac transplantation model via promoting MDSCs expansion. And the inhibition of mTOR is related with autophagy. Herein, this study was designed to investigate the protective mechanism of mTOR deficiency M-MDSCs in cardiac transplantation model. Methods: Myeloid-specific mTOR conditional knockout mice were generated to get mTOR deficiency M-MDSCs. The proliferation and immunosuppressive function of mTOR deficiency M-MDSCs were determined by flow cytometry and CFSE T cell proliferation assays. mTOR deficiency M-MDSCs intracellular autophagy levels were determined by western blot and Electron microscopy. RNAseq analysis was performed for WT and mTOR-deficient M-MDSC cells. Cervical cardiac transplantation model mice were generated. ELISA were performed for control mice, model mice, WT MDSCs infusion model mice and mTOR-deficient MDSCs infusion model mice to examine the inflammatory cytokines in the recipients mice serum. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry were performed to determine mTOR-deficient MDSCs induced immune tolerance. Results: mTOR deficiency could promote M-MDSCs differentiation and enhance intracellular autophagy levels in vivo and in vitro. mTOR deficiency also enhance the immunosuppressive function of M-MDSCs. In addition, infusing mTOR deficiency M-MDSCs could also prolong cardiac allograft survival and establish immune tolerance in recipient mice by inhibiting T cell activation and inducing Tregs. Conclusion: mTOR-deficiency enhances M-MDSCs cells autophagy and immunosuppressive function and prolongs mice cardiac allograft survival.
