AIM:To investigate the frequency and clinical significance of the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in human colorectal carcinoma (CRC).METHODS:Samples of peripheral blood and tumor tissue from 49 CRC patients were analyzed.Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation and were subjected to a flow cytometrybased immunophenotypic analysis.RESULTS:A considerable increase in the percentage of CD33+HLA-DR MDSCs was observed in the peripheral blood (1.89% ± 0.75%) and tumor tissues (2.99%± 1.29%) of CRC patients as compared with that in the peripheral blood of healthy controls (0.54% ± 0.35%).This expanded CD33+HLA-DR-subset exhibited immature myeloid cell markers,but not lineage markers,and showed up-regulation of CD18/CD11b expression as compared with the MDSCs from healthy donors.Further studies showed that the MDSC proportion in CRC peripheral blood was correlated with nodal metastasis (P =0.023),whereas that in tumor tissues was correlated with nodal/distant metastasis (P =0.016/P =0.047) and tumor stage (P =0.028),suggesting the involvement of MDSCs in CRC tumor development.CONCLUSION:Characterization of MDSCs in CRC suggests the clinical significance of circulating and tumorinfiltrating MDSCs and may provide new insights into the CRC immunotherapy targeting MDSCs.
