Mechanism of Immune Dysfunction in Cancer Mediated by Immature Gr-1+ Myeloid Cells

Abstract

The mechanism of tumor-associated T cell dysfunction remains an unresolved problem of tumor immunology. Development of T cell defects in tumor-bearing hosts are often associated with increased production of immature myeloid cells. In tumor-bearing mice, these immature myeloid cells are represented by a population of Gr-1+ cells. In this study we investigated an effect of these cells on T cell function. Gr-1+ cells were isolated from MethA sarcoma or C3 tumor-bearing mice using cell sorting. These Gr-1+ cells expressed myeloid cell marker CD11b and MHC class I molecules, but they lacked expression of MHC class II molecules. Tumor-induced Gr-1+ cells did not affect T cell responses to Con A and to a peptide presented by MHC class II. In sharp contrast, Gr-1+ cells completely blocked T cell response to a peptide presented by MHC class I in vitro and in vivo. Block of the specific MHC class I molecules on the surface of Gr-1+ cells completely abrogated the observed effects of these cells. Thus, immature myeloid cells specifically inhibited CD8-mediated Ag-specific T cell response, but not CD4-mediated T cell response. Differentiation of Gr-1+ cells in the presence of growth factors and all-trans retinoic acid completely eliminated inhibitory potential of these cells. This may suggest a new approach to cancer treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
