Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells that proliferate in the setting of cancer and have potent immunosuppressive functions hindering anti-tumor immunity. Here we establish that the immunologic landscape and tumor microenvironments (TME) vary between different organs which discretely shape MDSC repertoires. We found that pSTAT3 signaling exerts a dominant effect on MDSC programming in liver metastasis (LM). In contrast, in lung metastasis (LuM), MDSC programming is driven mainly by pSTAT5. Adoptive transfer of LM-MDSC into LuM resulted in a shift from pSTAT3 signaling to pSTAT5, in association with an overall shift toward lung MDSC programming. A shift from more immunosuppressive M-MDSC to G-MDSC, along with enhanced differentiation of MDSCs into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages in LuM, indicated that MDSC plasticity and differentiation patterns are environmentally dependent. Using mass spectroscopy, we confirmed that LM-MDSCs showed enhanced expression of key proliferation pathway markers. This confirmed that liver-specific MDSC programing was comprehensive but reversible, implying that therapeutic targeting of LM-MDSC could prime the TME in a favorable manner. Our data suggest that MDSC programming in response to malignancy is highly dependent on organ-specific conditions and is modifiable. |
