Activated neutrophils exert myeloid-derived suppressor cell activity damaging T cells beyond repair.

ABSTRACT: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have the capacity to suppress T-cell-mediated immune responses and impact the clinical outcome of cancer, infections, and transplantation settings. Although MDSCs were initially described as bone marrow-derived immature myeloid cells (either monocytic or granulocytic MDSCs), mature neutrophils have been shown to exert MDSC activity toward T cells in ways that remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that human neutrophils from both healthy donors and cancer patients do not exert MDSC activity unless they are activated. By using neutrophils with genetically well-defined defects, we found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and granule-derived constituents are required for MDSC activity after direct CD11b-dependent interactions between neutrophils and T cells. In addition to these cellular interactions, neutrophils are engaged in the uptake of pieces of T-cell membrane, a process called trogocytosis. Together, these interactions led to changes in T-cell morphology, mitochondrial dysfunction, and adenosine triphosphate depletion, as indicated by electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, and metabolic parameters. Our studies characterize the different steps by which activated mature neutrophils induce functional T-cell nonresponsiveness and irreparable cell damage.

Project description:Background Immune cells play a vital role in the pathology of ischemic stroke. Neutrophils and polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells share a similar phenotype and have attracted increasing attention in immune regulation research, yet their dynamics in ischemic stroke remain elusive. Methods and Results Mice were randomly divided into 2 groups and intraperitoneally treated with anti-Ly6G (lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G) monoclonal antibody or saline. Distal middle cerebral artery occlusion and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion were applied to induce experimental stroke, and mice mortality was recorded until 28 days after stroke. Green fluorescent nissl staining was used to measure infarct volume. Cylinder and foot fault tests were used to evaluate neurological deficits. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to confirm Ly6G neutralization and detect activated neutrophils and CD11b+Ly6G+ cells. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was performed to evaluate polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell accumulation in brains and spleens after stroke. Anti-Ly6G antibody successfully depleted Ly6G expression in mice cortex but did not alter cortical physiological vasculature. Prophylactic anti-Ly6G antibody treatment ameliorated ischemic stroke outcomes in the subacute phase. Moreover, using immunofluorescence staining, we found that anti-Ly6G antibody suppressed activated neutrophil infiltration into parenchyma and decreased neutrophil extracellular trap formation in penumbra after stroke. Additionally, prophylactic anti-Ly6G antibody treatment reduced polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell accumulation in the ischemic hemisphere. Conclusions Our study suggested a protective effect of prophylactic anti-Ly6G antibody administration against ischemic stroke by reducing activated neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil extracellular trap formation in parenchyma and suppressing polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell accumulation in the brain. This study may provide a novel therapeutic approach for ischemic stroke.
