Baseline circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells subpopulations, neutrophils/lymphocytes ratio, and response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor in non-smal…
2020
e15042 Background: Inhibitors of immune checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1 (ICI) have become a care standard in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite promising results, some patients cannot take advantage of immunotherapy effects. Nowadays, neither predictive nor prognostic circulating biomarkers have been found in order to select patients or to predict response to ICI. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are potent immunity suppressors and may represent both a potential prognostic and a predictive biomarker. We aimed to assess the role of pretreatment circulating MDSC subpopulations on ICI outcomes in NSCLC patients. Methods: 86 NSCLC patients treated with ICI and 10 healthy donors in 3 cent…
Clinical impact of the immunome in lymphoid malignancies: the role of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells
2015
The better definition of the mutual sustainment between neoplastic cells and immune system has been translated from the bench to the bedside acquiring value as prognostic factor. Additionally, it represents a promising tool for improving therapeutic strategies. In this context, myeloid-derived suppressor cells have gained a central role in tumor developing with consequent therapeutic implications. In this review, we will focus on the biological and clinical impact of the study of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the settings of lymphoid malignancies.
Abstract 4740: Doxorubicin eliminates tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells and enhances T-helper lymphocyte-based immunotherapy in a murine…
2013
Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) represent a heterogeneous population of cells equipped with the ability to inhibit T lymphocyte-mediated immune responses. A significant increase in the number of MDSC has been reported in the blood, secondary lymphoid organs and tumor beds in tumor-bearing animals and in patients with many types of cancers. MDSC frequency correlates with the disease stage and prognosis. These cells impair CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated anti-tumor immunity by different overlapping mechanisms such as reactive oxygen species or immunosuppressive cytokine production. Importantly, MDSC elimination or inactivation substantially enhances the efficiency …
Mast cells boost myeloid-derived suppressor cell activity and contribute to the development of tumor-favoring microenvironment
2014
Abstract Inflammation plays crucial roles at different stages of tumor development and may lead to the failure of immune surveillance and immunotherapy. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are one of the major components of the immune-suppressive network that favors tumor growth, and their interaction with mast cells is emerging as critical for the outcome of the tumor-associated immune response. Herein, we showed the occurrence of cell-to-cell interactions between MDSCs and mast cells in the mucosa of patients with colon carcinoma and in the colon and spleen of tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the CT-26 colon cancer cells induced the accumulation of CD11b+Gr1+ imma…
Mast Cell–deficient KitW-sh “Sash” Mutant Mice Display Aberrant Myelopoiesis Leading to the Accumulation of Splenocytes That Act as Myeloid-Derived S…
2013
Abstract Mast cell-deficient KitW-sh “sash” mice are widely used to investigate mast cell functions. However, mutations of c-Kit also affect additional cells of hematopoietic and nonimmune origin. In this study, we demonstrate that KitW-sh causes aberrant extramedullary myelopoiesis characterized by the expansion of immature lineage-negative cells, common myeloid progenitors, and granulocyte/macrophage progenitors in the spleen. A consistent feature shared by these cell types is the reduced expression of c-Kit. Populations expressing intermediate and high levels of Ly6G, a component of the myeloid differentiation Ag Gr-1, are also highly expanded in the spleen of sash mice. These cells are …
Immune effects of 5-fluorouracil
2012
Cytotoxic anticancer drugs can promote antitumor immune responses. The anticancer activity of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) relies on the restoration of T-cell immunity following the elimination of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We have recently discovered that the 5FU-driven activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in MDSCs promotes tumor angiogenesis by eliciting TH17 responses that compromise anticancer immunity. This underscores the need to combine 5-FU with NLRP3 inhibitors to prevent tumor progression.
Cancer cells induce immune escape via glycocalyx changes controlled by the telomeric protein TRF2
2019
International audience; Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells with strong immunosuppressive activity that promote tumor growth. In this study, we describe a mechanism by which cancer cells control MDSCs in human cancers by upregulating TRF2, a protein required for telomere stability. Specifically, we showed that the TRF2 upregulation in cancer cells has extratelomeric roles in activating the expression of a network of genes involved in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycan, leading to profound changes in glycocalyx length and stiffness, as revealed by atomic force microscopy. This TRF2-dependent regulation facilitated the recruitment of MDSCs, their …
Treating cachexia using soluble ACVR2B improves survival, alters mTOR localization, and attenuates liver and spleen responses.
2018
Background Cancer cachexia increases morbidity and mortality, and blocking of activin receptor ligands has improved survival in experimental cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully uncovered. Methods The effects of blocking activin receptor type 2 (ACVR2) ligands on both muscle and non‐muscle tissues were investigated in a preclinical model of cancer cachexia using a recombinant soluble ACVR2B (sACVR2B‐Fc). Treatment with sACVR2B‐Fc was applied either only before the tumour formation or with continued treatment both before and after tumour formation. The potential roles of muscle and non‐muscle tissues in cancer cachexia were investigated in order to understand th…
Immunogenomic identification and characterization of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in multiple myeloma
2020
Granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) promote tumor growth and immunosuppression in multiple myeloma (MM). However, their phenotype is not well established for accurate monitoring or clinical translation. We aimed to provide the phenotypic profile of G-MDSCs based on their prognostic significance in MM, immunosuppressive potential, and molecular program. The preestablished phenotype of G-MDSCs was evaluated in bone marrow samples from controls and MM patients using multidimensional flow cytometry; surprisingly, we found that CD11b+CD14−CD15+CD33+HLADR− cells overlapped with common eosinophils and neutrophils, which were not expanded in MM patients. Therefore, we relied on …
Induction of anamnestic T cell proliferation by antigen-pulsed, bone marrow-derived macrophages.
1981
Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM phi) were grown in a liquid culture system in the presence of L cell-conditioned medium as a source of colony-stimulating factor. After a 4-h pulse with antigen, cultured irradiated BMM phi were capable of presenting the antigen to primed T cells as assessed in a T cell proliferation assay. Proliferation was optimal when BMM phi were used between days 5 and 8 of bone marrow cell culture. T cells of Lyt1 and Lyt123 phenotype had to be present at the start of the culture period to yield an optimal response. Conventional antisera and monoclonal antibodies directed against the H-2 I region and the I-A subregion, respectively, proved inhibitory in this system…
