Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MDSC was observed in the peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice treated with bevacizumb. MDSC expressed Bv8 and significantly enhanced the angiogenesis. MDSC-inhibition significantly enhanced the anti-tumor effect of bevacizumab. In the premetastatic lungs of tumor-bearing mice, markedly increased MDSC cells were observed. MDSC in the premetastatic lungs expressed S100a8, S100a9, and MMP9. Moreover, MDSC expressed Cxcl2 to attract cancer cells that express CXCR2. MDSC-inhibition using anti-Gr-1 inhibited the expression of Cxcl2, S100a8, S100a9, Mmp9 and Bv8, and significantly reduced the pulmonary metastases. These results indicate that MDSC contribute to the formation of a premetastatic niche by generating an immunosuppressive, inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic environment which can facilitate tumor cell metastasis.
