Abstract:
:Monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs), granulocytic MDSC (G-MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) inhibit adaptive anti-tumor immunity and undermine the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. However, the impact of anti-PD-1 treatment on these immunosuppressive cells has not been clearly defined in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this retrospective study, 27 advanced NSCLC patients were divided into partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) groups. The impact of anti-PD-1 therapy on circulating Tregs, G-MDSCs, and M-MDSCs was assessed by flow cytometer. Here, we found that anti-PD-1 treatment boosted circulating Tregs levels, which presented the most remarkable augment during the first two therapeutic cycles, in NSCLC patients. In contrast, anti-PD-1 therapy did not overall change G-MDSCs and M-MDSCs levels. However, the PR group had a higher baseline level of M-MDSCs, which exhibited a significant decrease after the first cycle of anti-PD-1 treatment. Besides, M-MDSCs levels in the PR group were maintained at a low level in the following therapeutic cycles. Consistently, Tregs levels robustly increased in the syngeneic tumor model after anti-mouse PD-1 Ab treatment. Accordingly, M-MDSCs neutralization by anti-mouse ly6c Ab enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy in mice. Finally, the decreased M-MDSCs levels were associated with the enhanced effector CD8+ T cells expansion in the PR group and mice. In conclusion, anti-PD-1 therapy upregulates Tregs levels in NSCLC patients, and the M-MDSC levels are associated with the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment. Neutralization of M-MDSCs may be a promising option to augment anti-PD-1 therapy efficacy in NSCLC.
