Project description:Polymorphonuclear myeloid derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) are pathologically activated neutrophils that accumulate in cancer and many other pathologic conditions. PMN-MDSC are critically important for the regulation of immune responses in cancer, promotion of tumor progression, and metastases. Despite the recent advances in understanding of the PMN-MDSC biology, the mechanisms responsible for pathological activation of neutrophils are not well defined, which limit selective targeting of PMN-MDSC. Here, we report that mouse and human PMN-MDSC exclusively up-regulate fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2). Over-expression of FATP2 in PMN-MDSC was controlled by GM-CSF, through the activation of STAT5 transcription factor. Genetic ablation of FATP2 abrogated the suppressive activity of PMN-MDSC in spleens and tumors. FATP2 in neutrophils promoted accumulation of oxidized lipids. However, the main mechanism of FATP2 mediated suppressive activity of PMN-MDSC involved uptake of arachidonic acid and synthesis of prostaglandin E2. The selective pharmacological inhibition of FATP2 abrogated activity of PMN-MSC and substantially delayed tumor progression. In combination with check-point inhibitors it blocked tumor progression in mice. Thus, FATP2 mediates acquisition of immune suppressive activity by PMN-MDSC and represents a new target to inhibit the functions of PMN-MDSC and improve the effect of immunotherapy of cancer.

Project description:The role of myeloid cells in supporting cancer growth is well established. Most work has focused on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that accumulate in tumor-bearing animals, but tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) are also known to be capable of augmenting tumor growth. However, little is known about their evolution, phenotype, and relationship to naive neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of MDSC (G-MDSC). In the current study, a transcriptomics approach was used in mice to compare these cell types. Our data show that the three populations of neutrophils are significantly different in their mRNA profiles with NN and G-MDSC being more closely related to each other than to TAN. Structural genes and genes related to cell-cytotoxicity (i.e. respiratory burst) were significantly down-regulated in TAN. In contrast, many immune-related genes and pathways, including genes related to the antigen presenting complex (e.g. all six MHC-II complex genes), and cytokines (e.g. TNF-a, IL-1-a/b), were up-regulated in G-MDSC, and further up-regulated in TAN. Thirteen of the 25 chemokines tested were markedly up-regulated in TAN compared to NN, including striking up-regulation of chemoattractants for T/B-cells, neutrophils and macrophages. This study characterizes different populations of neutrophils related to cancer, pointing out the major differences between TAN and the other neutrophil populations. Various types of myeloid cells have been shown to promote tumor progression by direct immune suppression and by production of angiogenic factors, matrix-degrading enzymes, or growth factors. In untreated tumors, neutrophils have been reported to produce angiogenic factors and matrix-degrading enzymes, support the acquisition of a metastatic phenotype, and suppress the anti-tumor immune response. Neutrophils, like all other leukocytes, move into tissues from the blood under the influence of specific chemokines (e.g. KC/CXCL-1, MIP-2a/CXCL-2 and GCP-2/CXCL-6), cytokines (e.g. TNFa and IFN-x), and cell adhesion molecules located on their own surface (e.g. CD11b) and on the surface of endothelial cells (e.g. selectins, ICAM-1 and PECAM-1). When they traffic into tumors, they are referred to as TAN. In mice, TAN can be defined by the specific surface markers CD11b and Ly6G with low expression of macrophage markers such as F4/80. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a heterogeneous population of immune suppressive cells that are produced excessively in cancer. They comprise at least two subsets -granulocytic (Ly6G+, G-MDSC) and monocytic cells (Ly6C+, M-MDSC), potentially with different immunosuppressive properties. It has been previously shown that MDSC can enter tumors and differentiate to mature macrophages (TAM) or neutrophils (TAN). However, since no definitive markers have been established, it is unknown whether intratumoral N2 neutrophils (N2 TAN) are granulocytic MDSC from spleen that are attracted to the tumor or if they are typical blood-derived neutrophils that are then converted to an N2 phenotype by the tumor microenvironment, specifically by the high local concentrations of TGF-b. The purpose of this study was to use a transcriptomics approach to gain further information about TANs by comparing the RNA profile of these cells to naive bone-marrow neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of myeloid derived suppressor cells (G-MDSC). We examined which pathways and gene-groups varied amongst these 3 populations of neutrophils and performed a detailed analysis on pathways related to the main functions of neutrophils, such as respiratory burst, granule proteins, phagocytosis, apoptosis, structural genes, antigen presentation and specific immune effects. Our data defines TAN as a unique population of neutrophils, quite distinct from both NN and G-MDSC.

Project description:Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) playing the immune suppressive roles in tumor bearing host consists of two major subsets of granulocytic and monocytic cells. Granulocytic MDSC (G-MDSC) express CD11b+ Gr-1high Ly6G+ Ly6Clow and produce high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, neutrophils are well known ROS producing cells during immune defensive process and share same surface markers with G-MDSC. These similar features always brought the fundamental questions what’s the difference between G-MDSC and neutrophils but it’s not yet proven clearly. In this study, we examined the gene expression of G-MDSC and neutrophils using Affymetrix microarray G-MDSC (CD11b+Ly6G+Ly6Clow) were purifed from splenocytes in EL4 lymphoma tumor bearing mice by positive selection of Ly6G using microbeads isolation. Neutrophils were purified from ascitic fluids induced after injection of milk protein, casein by negative selection of F4/80 and positive selection of Ly6G using microbeads isolation. Their RNA was extracted and gene expression was analyzed using Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) inhibit immune responses in cancer, limit the effects of therapies and promote tumor cell metastasis. Here, we have identified a new precursor that differentiates into granulocytes in vitro and in vivo yet belong to the monocytic lineage. We have termed these cells monocyte-like precursors of granulocytes (MLPG). Under steady state conditions MLPG were absent in the spleen and barely detectable in the bone marrow (BM). In contrast, these cells significantly expanded in tumor-bearing mice. Selective depletion of monocytic cells had no effect on the number of granulocytes present in naïve mice but decreased the population of PMN-MDSC in tumor-bearing mice by 50%. The expansion of MLPG was found to be controlled by the down-regulation of the protein Rb1 and not the IRF8 transcription factor that is known to regulate the expansion of PMN-MDSC from classical granulocytes precursors. In cancer patients, putative MLPG were found within the population of CD15 CD14+HLA-DR-/lo M-MDSC. CXCR1+CD15 CD14+HLA-DR-/lo cells lacked immune suppressive activity but had potential to differentiate to neutrophils in contrast to monocytes and CXCR1- suppressive M-MDSC. These findings describe a mechanism of abnormal myelopoiesis in cancer and suggest potential new approaches for selective targeting of MDSC.

Project description:Reprogramming of energy metabolism plays pivotal roles in cancer progression and immune surveillance. Here, we demonstrated that hypoxic cancer cell secretome and breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) secretome similarly promoted the global reprogramming of metabolic pathways, particularly glycolysis, in normoxic cancer cells. Screening of BCSC secretome identified MIF as a pivotal factor potentiating glycolysis via transcriptional activation of ALDOC expression by MYC. Targeting MIF attenuated glycolysis as well as impaired tumor growth and metastasis. Cell-intrinsic MIF depletion in breast cancer augmented intratumoral cytolytic CD8+ T cells and pro-inflammatory macrophages while decreased tumor-associated neutrophils. Targeting MIF improved anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint therapy of triple-negative breast cancer cells. Hence, this study presented a paradigm of heterocellular metabolic communication in modulating tumor energy metabolism and immune surveillance, and thereby proposes strategies to ameliorate immunotherapy in breast cancer.

Project description:Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) are important regulators of immune responses and promoters of tumor progression in cancer1,2. The heterogeneity of these cells as well as their distinction from neutrophils hampers the progress in understanding of the biology and clinical significance of these cells. PMN-MDSC had a distinct gene signature from neutrophils isolated from the same patients with most prominent changes in genes associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Surprisingly, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was one of the most enriched gene regulators and oxidized LDL receptor 1 (OLR1) was one of the most overexpressed genes in PMN-MDSC. Lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) encoded by OLR1 was expressed in only 0.7% of neutrophils in peripheral blood of healthy donors, whereas 5-15% of neutrophils in cancer patients and 15-50% of neutrophils in tumor tissues were LOX-1+. In contrast to their LOX-1- counterparts, LOX-1+ neutrophils had gene signature, biochemical and functional characteristics of PMN-MDSC. Induction of ER stress in neutrophils from healthy donors up-regulated LOX-1 expression and converted these cells to suppressive PMN-MDSC. Thus, PMN-MDSC have distinct gene signature and LOX-1 can define this population of cells, which may provide new insight to the biology and clinical evaluation of these cells.

Project description:In this study, using single cell RNAseq, cell mass-spectrometry, flow cytometry, and functional analysis, we characterized the heterogeneity of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in cancer. We described three populations of PMN in tumor-bearing mice: classical PMN, polymorphonuclear myeloid derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC), and activated PMN-MDSC with potent immune suppressive activity. In spleens of mice, PMN-MDSC gradually replaced PMN during tumor progression. Activated PMN-MDSC were found only in tumors where they were present at the very early stages of the disease. These populations of PMN in mice could be separated based on the expression of CD14. In peripheral blood of cancer patients, we identified two distinct populations of PMN with characteristics of classical PMN and PMN-MDSC. Gene signature of tumor PMN-MDSC was similar to that in mouse activated PMN-MDSC and was closely associated with negative clinical outcome in cancer patients. Thus, we provided evidence that PMN-MDSC is a distinct population of PMN with unique features and potential for selective targeting opportunities
