Tumor-induced immunosuppression plays a key role in tumor evasion of the immune system. A key cell population recognized as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) contributes and helps orchestrate this immunosuppression. MDSC can interact with T cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells to create an environment favorable for tumor progression. In various tumor models, their presence at high levels has been reported in the bone marrow, blood, spleen, and tumor. We report for the first time that MDSC accumulate and home to the liver in addition to the other organs. Liver MDSC suppress T cells and accumulate to levels comparable with splenic MDSC. Additionally, hematopoiesis in the liver contributes to the dramatic expansion of MDSC in this organ. Furthermore, MDSC in the liver interact with macrophages, also known as Kupffer cells, and cause their up-regulation of PD-L1, a negative T-cell costimulatory molecule. The liver is thus an organ in which MDSC accumulate and can contribute to immunosuppression directly and indirectly. MDSC play a role in various pathologic states in addition to cancer, and these results contribute to our understanding of their biology and interactions with immune-related cells.
肿瘤诱导的免疫抑制在肿瘤逃避免疫系统中起关键作用。一种被认为是髓系来源抑制细胞(MDSC)的关键细胞群促成并有助于协调这种免疫抑制。MDSC可与T细胞、巨噬细胞和自然杀伤细胞相互作用,营造有利于肿瘤进展的环境。在各种肿瘤模型中,已报道它们在骨髓、血液、脾脏和肿瘤中大量存在。我们首次报道,除了其他器官外,MDSC还会在肝脏中积聚并归巢。肝脏中的MDSC抑制T细胞,其积聚水平与脾脏MDSC相当。此外,肝脏中的造血作用导致该器官中MDSC的急剧扩增。此外,肝脏中的MDSC与巨噬细胞(也称为库普弗细胞)相互作用,导致其上调负性T细胞共刺激分子PD-L1。因此,肝脏是一个MDSC积聚并可直接和间接促成免疫抑制的器官。MDSC除了在癌症中发挥作用外,还在各种病理状态中发挥作用,这些结果有助于我们了解它们的生物学特性以及与免疫相关细胞的相互作用。
