Abstrakt: | Imbalanced immune responses are a prominent hallmark of cancer and autoimmunity. Myeloid cells can be overly suppressive, inhibiting protective immune responses or inactive not controlling autoreactive immune cells. Understanding the mechanisms that induce suppressive myeloid cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tolerogenic dendritic cells (TolDCs), can facilitate the development of immune-restoring therapeutic approaches. MDSCs are a major barrier for effective cancer immunotherapy by suppressing antitumor immune responses in cancer patients. TolDCs are administered to patients to promote immune tolerance with the intent to control autoimmune disease. Here, we investigated the development and suppressive/tolerogenic activity of human MDSCs and TolDCs to gain insight into signaling pathways that drive immunosuppression in these different myeloid subsets. Moreover, monocyte-derived MDSCs (M-MDSCs) generated in vitro were compared to M-MDSCs isolated from head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. PI3K-AKT signaling was identified as being crucial for the induction of human M-MDSCs. PI3K inhibition prevented the downregulation of HLA-DR and the upregulation of reactive oxygen species and MerTK. In addition, we show that the suppressive activity of dexamethasone-induced TolDCs is induced by β-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling. The identification of PI3K-AKT and Wnt signal transduction pathways as respective inducers of the immunomodulatory capacity of M-MDSCs and TolDCs provides opportunities to overcome suppressive myeloid cells in cancer patients and optimize therapeutic application of TolDCs. Lastly, the observed similarities between generated- and patient-derived M-MDSCs support the use of in vitro-generated M-MDSCs as powerful model to investigate the functionality of human MDSCs.
