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:Tumor progression is accompanied by an altered myelopoiesis that causes the accumulation of cells inhibiting anti-tumor T lymphocytes. We previously reported that immunosuppressive cells can be generated in vitro from bone marrow cells (BM) after four days GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment. Here, we describe that miR-142-3p down-regulation directs macrophage differentiation and determines the acquisition of their immunosuppressive function in cancer. Enforced miR over-expression impaired monocyte to macrophage transition both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, forced miR down-regulation promoted the generation of immunosuppressive macrophages even during G-CSF-induced granulocytic differentiation. To identify how miR-142-3p regulates MDSC generation and activity, we analyze the gene expression of BM cultures transfected with either CTRL- or miR 142-3p mimic oligo -transfected before four days GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment. Keywords: Expression profiling by array BM cells were transfected either CTRL- or miR 142-3p mimic oligo before GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment to generate in vitro MDSCs during enforced miR over-expression. A triplicate of each sample was considered.Total RNA from obtained in vitro BM-differentiated MDSCs was isolated by Trizol reagent, and cRNA samples were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430 2.0.

Project description:Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an immunosuppressive population of immature myeloid cells found in advanced stage cancer patients and mouse tumor models. To identify potential genes playing essential role in MDSC biology, we have conducted microarray analysis of gene expression in MDSCs from esophageal tumor-bearing mice, compared to immature myeloid cells from healthy littermate control mice. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from sorted splenic CD11b+Gr1+ cells from tumor-bearing L2-Cre;p120f/f mice, compared to healthy littermate controls. Using these data, we have identified 964 genes showing differential expression between the two groups. Among these was the Cd38 gene, which was among the genes most upregulated in MDSCs from tumor-bearing mice. 9 total samples were analyzed: 6 sample from experimental tumor-bearing mice and three pooled samples from control mice. Gene expression difference was determined by univariate test (two-sample t-test) with multivariate permutation test (10,000 random permutations). A cut-off p-value of less than 0.001 and minimum 2-fold expression change were used to identify genes with significant expression differences between the two groups.

Project description:Chronic inflammation is known to associate with prostate cancer development, but how epithelium-associated cancer initiating events cross-talk to inflammatory cells during prostate cancer initiation and progression is largely unknown. Using the Pten null murine prostate cancer model, we show an expansion of Gr-1+CD11b+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) occurring intra-prostatically immediately following epithelium-specific Pten deletion without expansion in hematopoietic tissues. This MDSC expansion is accompanied by sustained immune suppression. Prostatic Gr-1+CD11b+ cells, but not those isolated from the spleen of the same tumor bearing mice, suppress T cell proliferation and express high levels of Arginase 1 and iNOS. Mechanistically, loss of PTEN in the epithelium leads to a significant upregulation of genes within the inflammatory response and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathways, including Csf-1 and IL-1β, two genes known to induce MDSC expansion and immunosuppressive activities. Treating Pten null mice with the selective CSF-1 receptor inhibitor GW2580 decreases MDSC infiltration and relieves the associated immunosuppressive phenotype. Our study indicates that epithelium-associated tumor initiating events trigger the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and promote localized MDSC expansion and immune suppression, thereby promoting tumor progression Custom Agilent 4x44K whole mouse genome expression oligonucleotide microarrays were used to measure transcript levels in murine Pten null prostate cancer cell lines. Benign mouse prostate epithelia as wild type control against cell lines. Each cohort had three biological replicates.

Project description:Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an immunosuppressive population of immature myeloid cells found in advanced stage cancer patients and mouse tumor models. We have identified Cd38 gene as potentially playing an essential role in MDSC biology. To determine the diffences between CD38high and CD38 low MDSCs from tumor-bearing mice, we have conducted this microarray. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from sorted splenic CD38high CD11b+Gr1+ cells from tumor-bearing L2-Cre;p120f/f mice, compared to CD38low CD11b+Gr1+ cells from the same mice. Using these data, we have detected differential expression of 498 genes . The Nos2 gene was among the genes most upregulated in CD38high MDSCs. 8 total samples were analyzed: 3 pairs of CD38high and CD38 low MDSCs (coming from individual mice), as well a pair of CD38high and CD38low pulled MSDCs (splenocytes from 3 mice were pulled together for sorting to increase yields). Gene expression difference was determined by univariate test (two-sample t-test) with multivariate permutation test (10,000 random permutations). A cut-off p-value of less than 0.001 and minimum 2-fold expression change were used to identify genes with significant expression differences between the two groups.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) potently suppress the anti-tumor immune responses and also orchestrate the tumor microenvironment that favors tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. The immunosuppressive activity of MDSCs has been extensively investigated, however the molecular networks regulating the non-immunological functions of tumor-expanded MDSCs, are largely unknown. In this study, we identified microRNA-494 (miR-494), whose expression was dramatically induced by tumor-derived factors (TDFs), as an essential player, in regulating the non-immunological activity of MDSCs by targeting PTEN and activating the Akt pathway. TGF-beta 1 was found to be a main tumor-derived factor responsible for the up-regulation of miR-494 in MDSCs. Expression of miR-494 not only enhanced CXCR4-mediated MDSC chemotaxis but also altered the intrinsic apoptotic/survival signal by targeting PTEN, thus contributing to the accumulation of MDSCs in tumor tissues. Consequently, down-regulation of PTEN resulted in increased activity of the Akt pathway and the subsequent up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) for facilitating tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Knock down of miR-494 significantly reversed the activity of MDSCs and inhibited the tumor growth and metastasis of 4T1 murine breast cancer in vivo. Collectively, our findings reveal that TGF-beta 1-induced miR-494 expression in MDSCs plays a critical role in the molecular events governing the accumulation and non-immunological functions of tumor-expanded MDSCs, and might be identified as a potential target in cancer therapy. BALB/c mice (female, 6- to 8-wk-old) were injected subcutaneously in the mammary fat pad with 100,000 4T1 tumor cells. Three weeks later, tumor-bearing animals were used for the indicated studies. Gr-1+ CD11b+ cells were isolated by immunomagnetic selection from the bone marrow of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice (n=3) and tumor-free BALB/c mice (n=3), then the miRNA expression profile were analyzed using miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Arrays.

Project description:Through an integrated transcriptome analysis of orthotopic colorectal cancer tumor-bearing mice and sham-operation mice, we showed the distinct immune microenvironment of pre-metastatic liver and identified MDSCs as the dominated cell type mediating pre-metastatic niche formation. MDSCs instead of other immune cell types were highly infiltrated in the pre-metastatic liver when compared with normal liver. Notably, immunosuppressive factors released by MDSCs such as HIF1α, iNOS, TGFβ were significantly up-regulated in the pre-metastatic liver. Increasing immune checkpoint molecules expression also reflected an immunosuppressive condition of pre-metastatic liver. The primary tumor may induce MDSCs accumulation via metabolic mechanism including glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and CCL28 chemokine axis. This study depicts the immune cell landscape of pre-metastatic cancer and primary CRC tumor, and provides insights into how MDSCs reshape the pre-metastatic niche facilitating circulating cancer cells colonization.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which accumulate in tumor bearers, are known to suppress anti-tumor immunity and thus promote tumor progression. MDSCs are considered a major cause of resistance against immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancer. Therefore, MDSCs are potential targets in cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we modified an in vitro method of MDSC differentiation. Upon stimulating bone marrow (BM) cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in vitro, we obtained both lymphocyte antigen 6G positive (Ly-6G+) and negative (Ly-6G−) MDSCs (collectively, hereafter referred to as conventional MDSCs), which were non-immunosuppressive and immunosuppressive, respectively. We then found that MDSCs differentiated from Ly-6G− BM (hereafter called 6G− BM-MDSC) suppressed T-cell proliferation more strongly than conventional MDSCs, whereas the cells differentiated from Ly-6G+ BM (hereafter called 6G+ BM-MDSC) were non-immunosuppressive. In line with this, conventional MDSCs or 6G− BM-MDSC, but not 6G+ BM-MDSC, promoted tumor progression in tumor-bearing mice. Moreover, we identified that activated glutathione metabolism was responsible for the enhanced immunosuppressive ability of 6G− BM-MDSC. Finally, we showed that Ly-6G+ cells in 6G− BM-MDSC, which exhibited weak immunosuppression, expressed higher levels of Cybb mRNA, an immunosuppressive gene of MDSCs, than 6G+ BM-MDSC. Together, these data suggest that the depletion of Ly-6G+ cells from the BM cells leads to differentiation of immunosuppressive Ly-6G+ MDSCs. In summary, we propose a better method for MDSC differentiation in vitro. Moreover, our findings contribute to the understanding of MDSC subpopulations and provide a basis for further research on MDSCs.
