Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) possess the ability to suppress the immune response, and to amplify the regulatory properties of other immune cells, i.e., dendritic cells. Here we describe a protocol in which MDSCs were differentiated from murine bone marrow cells, and CD11c+ dendritic cells were purified from murine spleens. MDSCs and CD11c dendritic cells can be co-cultured and the immunoregulatory phenotype of the MDSCs-conditioned dendritic cells could be assessed by means of a specific functional in vivo experiment, i.e., a skin test as a measure of the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction toward a poorly immunogenic antigen.
Keywords: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (骨髓源性抑制细胞)Background
The myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a group of myeloid cells comprised of precursor of macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells and myeloid cells at earlier stages of differentiation (Youn et al., 2008) accumulating in large numbers in lymphoid tissues of tumor-bearing mice as well as in mice with infectious diseases, sepsis and trauma. The main feature of these cells is their ability to suppress T cell responses in Ag-specific and/or nonspecific fashion. These cells are now considered as one of the major cell type responsible for tumor-associated immune defects; main factors implicated in MDSC-mediated immune suppression include high expression of Arg1 (Marvel and Gabrilovich, 2015). Arginase 1 (Arg1) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) are immunoregulatory enzymes catalyzing the degradation of L-arginine (L-Arg) and L-tryptophan (L-Trp), respectively, resulting in local amino acid deprivation. In addition, unlike Arg1, IDO1 is also endowed with non-enzymatic signaling activity in dendritic cells (DCs) (Mondanelli et al., 2017). In addition to their inherent immunosuppressive activity, MDSCs might amplify regulatory properties of other immune cells, particularly in tumor microenvironments. Although some mechanisms underlying MDSC-macrophage interaction have been established (Ugel et al., 2015), the cross-talk between MDSCs and DCs is still unclear (Ostrand-Rosenberg et al., 2012); to fill this gap, we have developed this protocol and we demonstrated that Arg1+ MDSCs confer to DCs an IDO1-dependent, immunosuppressive phenotype via Arg1 metabolites (i.e., polyamines such as putrescine and spermidine) (Mondanelli et al., 2017). The Arg and Trp immunoregulatory pathways are functionally integrated, this integration occurring both intra- (i.e., DCs) and inter-cellularly (MDSCs and DCs) (Mondanelli et al., 2017).
