In recent years, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) have emerged as one of the major inhibitors of immune effector cell function in cancer. MDSC represent a heterogeneous population of largely immature myeloid cells that are characterized by a pathological state of activation and display potent immune suppressive activity. Two major subsets of MDSC have been identified: monocytic (M-MDSC) and polymorphonuclear (PMN-MDSC). PMN-MSDC share phenotypic and morphologic features with neutrophils, whereas M-MDSC are similar to monocytes and are characterized by high plasticity. Differentiation of M-MDSC to macrophages and dendritic cells is shaped by tumor microenvironment. In recent years, the mechanisms of this process start to emerge.
近年来,髓系来源的抑制细胞(MDSC)已成为癌症中免疫效应细胞功能的主要抑制物之一。MDSC 是一群异质性的、主要处于未成熟状态的髓系细胞,其特征为病理性激活,并具有强大的免疫抑制活性。已经确定了 MDSC 的两个主要亚群:单核细胞来源的(M-MDSC)和多形核粒细胞来源的(PMN-MDSC)。PMN-MSDC 具有与中性粒细胞相似的表型和形态特征,而 M-MDSC 则类似于单核细胞,具有高可塑性。M-MDSC 向巨噬细胞和树突状细胞的分化受肿瘤微环境的影响。近年来,这一过程的机制开始显现。
