    Abstract:
    Precise molecular characterization of circulating polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) is hampered by their mixed composition of mature and immature cells and lack of specific markers. Here, we focus on mature CD66b+CD10+CD16+CD11b+ PMN-MDSCs (mPMN-MDSCs) from either cancer patients or healthy donors receiving G-CSF for stem cell mobilization (GDs). By RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments, we report the identification of a distinct gene signature shared by the different mPMN-MDSC populations under investigation, also validated in mPMN-MDSCs from GDs and tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) by single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) experiments. Analysis of such a gene signature uncovers a specific transcriptional program associated with mPMN-MDSC differentiation and allows us to identify that, in patients with either solid or hematologic tumors and in GDs, CD52, CD84, and prostaglandin E receptor 2 (PTGER2) represent potential mPMN-MDSC-associated markers. Altogether, our findings indicate that mature PMN-MDSCs distinctively undergo specific reprogramming during differentiation and lay the groundwork for selective immunomonitoring, and eventually targeting, of mature PMN-MDSCs.

    Myeloid-derived suppressor cells are immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive properties. The review presents characteristics of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. It includes phenotype variants, mechanisms of the suppressive effect on the immune system, and tumor recruitment mechanisms of myeloid suppressors. It provides a brief description of works which studied myeloid suppressor in oncohematological diseases including multiple myeloma, lymphomas, and leukemias.

    These studies show that there may be several different kinds of suppressor cells, each activated by different pathways and able to suppress different parts of the immune response either specifically or nonspecifically. As such, the physiology of one type of suppressor cell need not necessarily apply to that of another type of suppressor. Thus we emphasize the trap that the suppressor cell option provides: that is, virtually any previously inexplicable in vitro and in vivo immune phenomenon can always be adequately accounted for by evoking a suppressor mechanism, either by suppressing the response or suppressing the suppressor.

    The suppressor activity measured by the Con A mixed lymphocyte culture assay exhibited a pronounced dependence on the technical performance as well as a marked inter‐individual variation. The activity exerted by the induced suppressor cells depended on the Con A concentration in the induction phase, and on the mitotic activity in the responder system. The patterns of suppressor activities obtained in an allogeneic and an autologous suppressor test system were identical. When calculating the suppressor activity it is suggested, that one uses the total activities of the test system, without any reduction corresponding to the activity of the mixed lymphocyte culture. It is suggested that the suppressor activity is expressed by a »suppressor profile« to make the results more applicable and the interpretation of different works meaningful.
