Chemotherapeutic targeting of myeloid-derived suppressor cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which expand in cancer-bearing hosts, contribute to the escape of malignant cells from immune destruction and impair the efficacy of immunotherapeutic interventions. We have recently demonstrated that the conventional chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin selectively eliminates MDSCs, hence promoting the activity of immune effector cells and improving the therapeutic profile of adoptively transferred helper T lymphocytes.

Multiple Low Doses of 5-Fluorouracil Diminishes Immunosuppression by Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in Murine Melanoma Model
Background: Melanoma progression and metastasis is suggested to be mediated by increased accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells. Various chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-Fluorouracil in single low concentration have the capacity, at least in part, to reverse tumor progression by reducing myeloid derived suppressor cellsmediated immunosuppression. Objective: To assess whether multiple ...

Background: Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) are two main regulatory cells modulating the immune responses in inflammation and cancer. Objective: To investigate and compare Tregs and MDSCs in peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with dyspepsia were selected and divided into three groups of non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD, n=22), peptic ulcer disease...
متن کاملChemotherapeutic targeting of cancer-induced immunosuppressive cells.
The expansion of immunosuppressive cells represents a cardinal strategy deployed by tumors to escape from detection and elimination by the immune system. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), major components of these inhibitory cellular networks, have drawn intense scrutiny in recent years. In patients with cancer and in animal tumor models, these suppres...

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) constitute a key checkpoint that impedes tumor immunity against cancer. Chemotherapeutic intervention of MDSCs has gained ground as a strategy for cancer therapy but its mechanism remains obscure.We report here a unique mechanism by which monocytic (M)-MDSCs are spared, allowing them to polarize towards M1 macrophages for reactivation of immunity against...
متن کاملMonitoring and Targeting of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSC) in Different Mouse Cancer Models
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) undermine immunotherapeutic efforts to treat cancer because of their ability to suppress both innate and adaptive immunity of the host and contribute to tumor progression. Therefore, MDSC hold great potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment. Multiple strategies to eliminate MDSC have been described but most lack selectivity. A number of select...
