Fatty acid transporter 2 regulates lipid metabolism and suppressive function of neutrophils in cancer

ABSTRACT: 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.

Unique features of co-existence of classical neutrophils and polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells in cancer

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

Lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 defines population of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells in cancer patients

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.

Ferroptosis of tumor-associated neutrophils is immunosuppressive and promotes tumor growth

Project description:Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death triggered by the discoordination of regulatory redox mechanisms culminating in massive peroxidation of polyunsaturated phospholipids. The development of the concept of ferroptosis stemmed from an active search for alternatives to apoptosis in cancer cells. Ferroptosis inducers have shown remarkable effectiveness in killing tumor cells in vitro, yet with no obvious success in experimental animal models, with a notable exception of immune-deficient mice 1,2. This suggests the potential poorly understood contribution of ferroptosis on immune cells. Pathologically activated neutrophils (PMN), termed myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC), are major negative regulators of anti-tumor immunity3-5. Here, we found that PMN-MDSC in the tumor microenvironment (TME), spontaneously die by ferroptosis. While decreasing the presence of PMN-MDSC, ferroptosis induces the release of oxygenated lipids and limits mouse and human T cell activity. In immune-competent mice, genetic and pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis abrogates suppressive activity of PMN-MDSC, reduces tumor progression, and synergizes with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to suppress the tumor growth. In contrast, induction of ferroptosis in immune-competent mice promotes tumor growth. Thus, ferroptosis is a unique and targetable immunosuppressive mechanism of PMN-MDSC in the TME that can be pharmacologically modulated to limit tumor progression.

Identification of monocyte-like precursors of granulocytes as a mechanism for accumulation of PMN-MDSC in cancer

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.

Mechanisms regulating transitory suppressive activity of neutrophils in newborns

Project description:Transitory appearance of immune suppressive polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) defined as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) in newborns is important for their protection from inflammation associated with newly established gut microbiota. Here, we report that inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN1) pathway played a major role in regulation of PMN-MDSC suppressive activity during first weeks of life. Expression of the IFN1 receptor IFNAR1 was markedly lower in PMN-MDSC. However, in newborn mice, down-regulation of IFNAR1 was not sufficient to render PMN immune suppressive. That also required the presence of a positive signal from lactoferrin via its receptor LRP2. The latter effect was mediated via NF-kB activation, which was tempered by IFN1 in a manner that involved SOCS3. Thus, we discovered a mechanism of tight regulation of immune suppressive PMN-MDSC in newborns, which may be used in the development of therapies of neonatal pathologies

Syntaphilin regulates neutrophil migration in cancer

Project description:Pathologically activated neutrophils (PMN) with immune suppressive activity - myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) - play a critical role in regulation of tumor progression. They were implicated in promotion of tumor metastases by contributing to pre-metastatic niche formation. This effect was facilitated by enhanced spontaneous migration of PMN in early stage cancers. The molecular mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon remained unclear. We found that syntaphilin (SNPH), a cytoskeletal protein previously known for anchoring mitochondria to the microtubule in neurons and tumor cells, could regulate migration of PMN. Expression of SNPH was decreased in PMN from tumor bearing mice and cancer patients as compared to PMN from tumor-free mice and healthy donors, respectively. Deletion of SNPH increased spontaneous migration of PMN and promoted tumor metastasis. Mechanistically, deletion of SNPH increased the speed and distance travelled by mitochondria, elevated rates of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, and increased generation of adenosine. Thus, our study reveals a molecular mechanism regulating increased migratory activity of PMN during cancer progression and suggests novel targeting opportunity.

Transcriptome comparsion of WT and CD300ld KO PMN-MDSC

Project description:Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell (PMN-MDSC), also named pathologically activated neutrophil, is a critical component of tumor microenvironment (TME), playing crucial roles in tumor progression and therapy resistance. CD300ld is specifically expressed in normal neutrophils and is upregulated in PMN-MDSCs upon tumor bearing. CD300ld knockout (KO) inhibits the development of multiple tumor types in a PMN-MDSC-dependent manner. Here, we compared the transcriptome of PMN-MDSCs from WT mice and CD300ld KO mice.
