To investigate the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tumor progression by inducing immuno-suppressive function of myeloid-derived CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells (BM-CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells).
After co-cultured with MSCs, the immunophenotypes of BM-CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells were tested by flow cytometry. The influence of MSCs on CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells was evaluated by T cell proliferation assay after cultured with or without MSCs. The mouse 4T1 breast tumor model was established to explore the effect on tumor growth.
MSCs promoted the survival of CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells and induced the generation of CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells from CD11b⁻ Gr1⁻ cells sorted from bone marrow. MSCs also enhanced the ability of BM-CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells to suppress T cell proliferation and activation. CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells after co-cultured with MSCs promoted 4T1 tumor growth and accelerated death of tumor-bearing mice.
MSCs can promote tumor progression by inducing suppressive function of myeloid-derived CD11b⁺ Gr1⁺ cells from bone marrow.
通过诱导骨髓来源的CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞(BM-CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞)的免疫抑制功能,探讨间充质干细胞(MSCs)在肿瘤进展中的作用。
与MSCs共培养后,通过流式细胞术检测BM-CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞的免疫表型。在有或无MSCs培养的情况下,通过T细胞增殖试验评估MSCs对CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞的影响。建立小鼠4T1乳腺肿瘤模型以探讨其对肿瘤生长的影响。
MSCs促进了CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞的存活,并诱导了从骨髓中分选的CD11b⁻Gr1⁻细胞产生CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞。MSCs还增强了BM-CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞抑制T细胞增殖和激活的能力。与MSCs共培养后的CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞促进了4T1肿瘤生长并加速了荷瘤小鼠的死亡。
MSCs可通过诱导骨髓来源的髓系CD11b⁺Gr1⁺细胞的抑制功能促进肿瘤进展。
