摘要
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) contribute to tumor immune evasion, and have been identified as immunosuppressive cells in cervical cancer. The effect of TMPRSS11D (transmembrane serine protease 11D) in some cancers has been reported, but its role in immune escape of cervical cancer is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of TMPRSS11D on the immunosuppressive function of MDSCs in cervical cancer. Our data showed that the proportion of polymorphonucleoid MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs), the contents of immunosuppressive factors (including INOS, IDO, and ARG-1) secreted by MDSCs, and TMPRSS11D mRNA level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of malignant cervical cancer patients was significantly higher than that of benign tumor patients. Next, CD3 T cells from PBMCs of cervical cancer patients were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, and then co-cultured with PMN-MDSCs from the same donors at a ratio of 1:2 for 3 days. PMN-MDSCs from malignant tumors produced more ROS, while TMPRSS11D knockdown blocked ROS production. PMN-MDSCs inhibited T cell proliferation and IFN-γ production, while silencing TMPRSS11D in PMN-MDSCs hindered the immunosuppressive effect of PMN-MDSCs. Mechanistically, TMPRSS11D bound to ALR (Augmenter of liver regeneration) and negatively regulated ALR expression, inducing ER stress in PMN-MDSCs, thereby enhancing the immunosuppressive effect of PMN-MDSCs on T cells. Additionally, mouse xenograft tumor assay was conducted to assess the role of TMPRSS11D in tumor growth and MDSC accumulation in vivo. Silencing TMPRSS11D impeded the growth of cervical cancer xenografts and reduced the accumulation of MDSCs in tumor tissues. In conclusion, TMPRSS11D induced ER stress in MDSCs through negative regulation of ALR, thus enhancing the immunosuppressive effect of MDSCs on T cells, so as to promote the growth of cervical cancer tumors.
