Project description:The aggressiveness of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast is associated with increased IL-17 levels. In this study, we investigated the role of IL-17 in invasive breast tumor pathogenesis. We found that metastatic tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes produced elevated levels of IL-17, whereas IL-17 neutralization inhibited tumor growth and prevented the migration of neutrophils and tumor cells to secondary disease sites. Tumorigenic neutrophils promote disease progression, and their depletion suppressed tumor growth. Moreover, IL-17 induced IL-6 and CXCL1 production in tumor cells, and IL-6 depletion reduced metastatic tumor growth and infiltration by Th17 cells and neutrophils. In addition, inoculation of a non-metastatic mammary tumor cell line pre-incubated with IL-17 promoted tumor growth, confirming the pro-tumor role of IL-17. Furthermore, high IL-17 expression was associated with lower disease-free survival (DFS) and worse prognosis in IDC patients. Thus, IL-17 blockade represents an attractive approach for the control of invasive breast tumors. Biopsies of patients with breast tumors

Project description:Lung metastasis is the principal cause of breast cancer-related mortality. Neutrophils have emerged as an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), supporting tumor proliferation and mediating immunosuppression. Here, we show that aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and promotes breast cancer lung metastasis by supporting neutrophil survival in the TME. Acod1 expression is regulated by tumor-derived granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcription factor activity. Acod1 loss in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils leads to ferroptosis-like cell death, resulting in decreased frequency of neutrophils in the TME. Mechanistically, itaconate, the product of Acod1, activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), resulting in upregulated antioxidant responses and decreased lipid-reactive oxygen species. Genetical deletion of Acod1 in neutrophils suppresses lung metastasis of breast cancer in mouse models by decreasing neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and elevating cytotoxic T cell response. Importantly, genetic targeting of Acod1 enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. Overall, our findings reveal a mechanism of how immunosuppressive neutrophils survive in the harsh TME and support Acod1-targeting approaches for cancer treatment.

Project description:Neutrophil elastase (NE) is implicated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but the role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of PAH is unclear. Here we show that neutrophils from PAH vs. control subjects produce and release increased NE associated with enhanced extracellular trap formation. PAH neutrophils are highly adherent and show decreased migration consistent with increased vinculin, identified on proteomic analysis and previously linked to an antiviral response. This was substantiated by a transcriptomic interferon signature in PAH neutrophils and an increase in human endogenous retrovirus (HERV-K) envelope protein. NE and interferon genes are induced by HERV-K envelope and vinculin is increased by HERV-K dUTPase that is elevated in PAH plasma. Neutrophil exosomes from PAH plasma contain increased NE and HERV-K envelope and induce pulmonary hypertension in mice, that is mitigated by the NE inhibitor and antiviral agent, elafin. Thus elevated HERVs explain pathological neutrophils linked to PAH induction and progression.

Project description:Neutrophils play a key role in the control of metastatic progression. Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and can exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. Here, we demonstrate that tumor cells capable of forming liver metastases induce an accumulation of neutrophils in the peripheral blood and liver parenchyma. Cancer cell-derived G-CSF, in concert with other factors, mobilizes immature low-density neutrophils that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metastases. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of high- and low- density neutrophils reveal engagement of numerous metabolic pathways specifically in low-density neutrophils. Low-density neutrophils exhibit enhanced global bioenergetic capacity, through their ability to engage mitochondrial-dependent ATP production, and remain capable of executing pro-metastatic neutrophil functions, including NETosis, under nutrient-deprived conditions. Together, these data reveal that distinct pro-metastatic neutrophil populations exhibit a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which facilitates metastatic progression and the formation of liver metastases.

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:Pathologically activated neutrophils (PMN), termed myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs), are major negative regulators of anti-tumor immunity. The mechanisms responsible for the pathological activation of neutrophils upon infiltration into tumors are not well defined, thus limiting the selective targeting of these cells. Tumor cells and immune cells engage in bi-directional manipulation of their respective metabolism, thereby altering cell function to facilitate tumor progression. Targeting the metabolism of responding immune cells can improve cancer treatment when combined with existing therapeutic strategies. Here, we investigated the role of metabolism in the immunoinhibitory actions of tumor PMN-MDSCs.
