Popis: Liver is a tolerogenic organ and has variety of immune cells resulting in a profoundly immunosuppressive space. We recently reported that GM-CSF/JAK2/STAT3 axis drives liver myeloid suppressor cell (L-MDSC) proliferation and STAT3 inhibition causes activation of apoptosis signaling via Bax up-regulation. Herein, we explore liver specific programming events that promote L-MDSC suppressive conditioning. Bone marrow derived MDSC (BM-MDSC) were expanded in CD45.1+ mice in response to intraperitoneal MC38 tumors. CD45.1+ BM-MDSC were adoptively transferred into CD45.2+ recipient mice via tail vein (TV) or portal vein (PV). CD11b+ cells were harvested 48 hrs later from recipient liver and lungs. Liver from PV and lung from TV CD45.1+ MDSC recipients were compared. There was increased expansion of CD45.1+ MDSC (CD11b+Gr1+) in PV-liver as compared to TV-lung group (Liver-PV 45±3% vs. Lung-TV 15±2% vs. Tumor 43±3, p
