Pro-inflammatory cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases attributable to activated neutrophils and macrophages. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play an important role in the regulation of the immune response and possess strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties. Granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis (GMA), an extracorporeal apheresis instrument featuring columns containing cellulose acetate (CA) beads, is designed to remove pathogenic myeloid lineage cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of GMA on cytokine production and MDSC induction. The serum level of various inflammatory cytokines and the incidence of MDSCs in peripheral blood before and after GMA treatment were recorded. Cytokines were assayed with the suspension-array method in 38 patients. The incidence of MDSCs was analyzed by FACS in eight patients and the effect of GMA on in vitro MDSC induction was examined using a mini-column system that mimics GMA. The serum level of IL-2Rα (P = 0.030), IL-8 (P = 0.018), and MIF (P = 0.0002) was significantly decreased by GMA and the incidence of MDSCs was increased (P = 0.030). With the mini-column system, MDSCs were induced in the peripheral blood of five healthy volunteers; the in vitro induction was significantly inhibited by inactivation of the complement component iC3b. The clinical effectiveness of GMA may be attributable to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the induction of anti-inflammatory MDSCs by iC3b activation via the CA beads in the GMA column.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) refers to a cancerous tumor that develops in the upper and side walls of the nasopharyngeal cavity. Typically, individuals are often diagnosed with the disease when it has already progressed significantly, and those with advanced NPC tend to have an unfavorable outlook in terms of response rate to targeted treatments and overall clinical survival. Various molecular mechanisms, including Myeloid-derived suppressor cells and factors like PD-L1, have been explored to enhance the outcome of NPC.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population that acts on both innate and adaptive immunity, fostering immune escape in tumors and contributing to cancer progression. Despite the lack of definitive markers for immunophenotyping MDSCs, particularly the polymorphonuclear (PMN-MDSC) subset, these cells seem to play a crucial role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients' prognosis. Additionally, the maturation stage of MDSCs remains a subject of debate and is largely unknown within the AML context.

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of death worldwide, particularly also among African woman. In order to better stratify patients for the most effective (immuno-) therapy, an in depth characterization of the immune status of BC patients is required. In this study, a cohort of 65 Ethiopian patients with primary BC underwent immune profiling by multicolor flow cytometry on peripheral blood samples collected prior to surgery and to any other therapy.

The interleukin-33(IL-33) - group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) - interleukin-13(IL-13) - monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) axis plays a critical role in promoting immune evasion in tumors; however, its specific function in cervical cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, we observed that the proportion of IL-33-ILC2s-IL-13-M-MDSCs were significantly elevated in both cervical cancer patients and the subcutaneous U14 cervical cancer mouse model, compared to normal controls. Our results suggest that IL-33 stimulates ILC2s to secrete IL-13, which, in turn, regulates M-MDSCs to enhance their immune evasion capabilities.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that leads to joint inflammation and bone damage, and high humidity conditions may worsen its symptoms, though the reasons are not fully understood.
- In a study using a mouse model, researchers investigated how elevated humidity (80%) affects splenic cell types and arthritis severity compared to normal humidity (50%).
- Results showed that high humidity led to increased arthritis symptoms, elevated levels of inflammatory markers, and changes in immune cells (MDSCs) and oxidative stress indicators, suggesting humidity might play a significant role in aggravating RA progression.
