Abstract

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppress antitumor immune activities and facilitate cancer progression. Although the concept of immunosuppressive MDSCs is well established, the mechanism that MDSCs regulate non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression through the paracrine signals is still lacking. Here, we reported that the infiltration of MDSCs within NSCLC tissues was associated with the progression of cancer status, and was positively correlated with the Patient-derived xenograft model establishment, and poor patient prognosis. Intratumoral MDSCs directly promoted NSCLC metastasis and highly expressed chemokines that promote NSCLC cells invasion, including CCL11. CCL11 was capable of activating the AKT and ERK signaling pathways to promote NSCLC metastasis through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Moreover, high expression of CCL11 was associated with a poor prognosis in lung cancer as well as other types of cancer. Our findings underscore that MDSCs produce CCL11 to promote NSCLC metastasis via activation of ERK and AKT signaling and induction of EMT, suggesting that the MDSCs-CCL11-ERK/AKT-EMT axis contains potential targets for NSCLC metastasis treatment.

摘要

髓源性抑制细胞(MDSCs)抑制抗肿瘤免疫活性并促进癌症进展。尽管抑制性 MDSCs 的概念已经得到很好的确立,但 MDSCs 通过旁分泌信号调节非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)进展的机制仍不清楚。在这里,我们报道了 NSCLC 组织中 MDSCs 的浸润与癌症状态的进展相关,并且与患者来源异种移植模型的建立和患者预后不良呈正相关。肿瘤内 MDSCs 直接促进 NSCLC 转移,并高度表达促进 NSCLC 细胞侵袭的趋化因子,包括 CCL11。CCL11 通过上皮间质转化(EMT)过程能够激活 AKT 和 ERK 信号通路,促进 NSCLC 转移。此外,CCL11 的高表达与肺癌以及其他类型癌症的不良预后相关。我们的研究结果强调,MDSCs 通过激活 ERK 和 AKT 信号以及诱导 EMT 产生 CCL11 来促进 NSCLC 转移,提示 MDSCs-CCL11-ERK/AKT-EMT 轴包含 NSCLC 转移治疗的潜在靶点。
