Naïve bone marrow cells cultured in medium only (no treatment) or bone marrow cells cultured with MEER tumor conditioned medium alone (Control) or in the presence of TGF-β1 (TGF-β1) were used to generate MDSC. TGFβ-MDSC acquire more macrophage like phenotype and upregulate maturation markers. Thus, TGFβ1 mediated programming of nascent MDSC leads to a potent anti-tumor phenotype potentially suitable for adoptive immunotherapy.ĬD86 MDSC SMAD2 TGF-beta adoptive cellular therapy caspase-3 myeloid-derived suppressor cells (written out) radiotherapy tumor killing. TGFβ-MDSC derived from human PBMC with tumor conditioned medium also lost immunosuppressive function and acquired tumor-killing activity.

Radiation upregulated FAS expression on tumor cells, and the combination of radiotherapy and intratumoral injection of TGFβ-MDSC strongly enhanced class I expression on tumor cells and induction of HPV E7 tetramer-positive CD8 + T cells, leading to clearance of established tumors and long-term survival.

TGFβ-MDSC also upregulated FAS-ligand expression, leading to FAS-dependent killing of murine human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck cancer cells and tumor spheroids in vitro and anti-tumor activity in vivo. Altered immune function was associated with SMAD-2 dependent upregulation of maturation and costimulatory molecules, and downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an effector mechanism of immunosuppression. While MDSC derived ex vivo from murine bone marrow precursor cells with tumor-conditioned medium efficiently suppressed T cell proliferation, MDSC derived from conditioned medium in presence of TGF-β1 (TGFβ-MDSC) acquired a novel immune-stimulatory phenotype, losing the ability to inhibit T cell proliferation and acquiring enhanced antigen-presenting capability. MDSC programming or polarization has been proposed as a strategy for leveraging the developmental plasticity of myeloid cells to reverse MDSC immune suppressive functions, or cause them to acquire anti-tumor activity.
