Snail promotes ovarian cancer progression by recruiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells via CXCR2 ligand upregulation

Abstract: Snail is a major transcriptional factor that induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we explore the effect of Snail on tumor immunity. Snail knockdown in mouse ovarian cancer cells suppresses tumor growth in immunocompetent mice, associated with an increase of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and a decrease of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Snail knockdown reduces the expression of CXCR2 ligands (CXCL1 and CXCL2), chemokines that attract MDSCs to the tumor via CXCR2. Snail… Show more

“…Given the reduction in CXCL2 and CCL2 expression in TLR2 KO mice, key chemoattractants for MDSCs and neutrophils versus monocytes, respectively [31][32][33], we next determined whether this would translate into impaired leukocyte recruitment. Surprisingly, no significant differences in leukocyte influx were observed in the galea or brain of TLR2 KO and WT mice at any of the time points examined (Fig.…”

“…GM‐CSF is an important one released by tumor cells, which can promote the proliferation of MDSCs, while G‐CSF can affect the migration of MDSCs probably by upregulating the expression of Bv8, a surface protein on MDSCs . In animal models of colorectal cancer, CXCR2 influences MDSCs migration and recruitment toward tumors by up‐regulating chemotactic factors CXCL1 and CXCL2 . CCL2 can also induce MDSCs migration to tumor site, while the deficiency of CCL2 will lead to a decline of MDSCs ratio.…”

“…MDSC expansion in lymphoid organs (the spleen, bone marrow and so on), blood, and tumours has been detected in tumour-bearing mice and cancer patients 16 . MDSCs are immature myeloid cells (IMCs) that are classified into two major subsets: monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs) and granulocytic MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) 17,18 . Both have strong immunosuppressive activities but distinct functional and biochemical characteristics 19 .…”
