TLDR
The origin and nature of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, as well as their distinctive features and biological roles in cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, obesity and pregnancy are discussed.
Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells generated during a large array of pathologic conditions ranging from cancer to obesity. These cells represent a pathologic state of activation of monocytes and relatively immature neutrophils. MDSCs are characterized by a distinct set of genomic and biochemical features, and can, on the basis of recent findings, be distinguished by specific surface molecules. The salient feature of these cells is their ability to inhibit T cell function and thus contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases. In this Review, we discuss the origin and nature of these cells; their distinctive features; and their biological roles in cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, obesity and pregnancy.

Inflammation and Cancer: Triggers, Mechanisms, and Consequences.

TL;DR: How tumor-promoting inflammation closely resembles inflammatory processes typically found during development, immunity, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, or tissue repair is discussed and the distinctions between tissue-protective and pro-tumorigenic inflammation are illuminated.

Identification of discrete tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cell subpopulations with distinct T-CELL suppressive activity

TL;DR: This work identified 2 distinct MDSC subfractions with clear morphologic, molecular, and functional differences, and refined tumor-induced MDSCs functions by uncovering mechanistically distinct M DSC subpopulations, potentially relevant for MDSc-targeted therapies.

The immune contexture and Immunoscore in cancer prognosis and therapeutic efficacy.

TL;DR: The authors advocate the need to assess a combination of immune determinants and the importance of evaluating the functional status of specific cell populations to increase prognostic and/or predictive power.

The pilot study.

TL;DR: A randomized controlled experiment is designed to test whether access to affordable day care (in the form of subsidies, for example) would incentivize Saudi mothers to search actively for employment and to remain employed once they are hired.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells as regulators of the immune system.

TL;DR: The origin, mechanisms of expansion and suppressive functions of MDSCs, as well as the potential to target these cells for therapeutic benefit are discussed.

Coordinated regulation of myeloid cells by tumours

TL;DR: This work considers myeloid cells as an intricately connected, complex, single system and focuses on how tumours manipulate the myeloids system to evade the host immune response.

Tumor-associated macrophages: from mechanisms to therapy.

TL;DR: Therapeutic success in targeting these protumoral roles in preclinical models and in early clinical trials suggests that macrophages are attractive targets as part of combination therapy in cancer treatment.
