TLDR
Ample evidence supports a key role for MDSCs in immune suppression in cancer, as well as their prominent role in tumor angiogenesis, drug resistance, and promotion of tumor metastases.
Abstract
The development of tumor-specific T cell tolerance is largely responsible for tumor escape. Accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in animal tumor models as well as in cancer patients is involved in tumor-associated T cell tolerance. In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that MDSCs bring about antigen-specific T cell tolerance by various mechanisms, which is the focus of this chapter.

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.

Cancer-related inflammation and treatment effectiveness

TL;DR: The complex interplay between local immune responses and systemic inflammation, and their influence on clinical outcomes, are examined, and potential anti-inflammatory interventions for patients with cancer are proposed.

TL;DR: An overview of the complex biology of the TGF-β family and its context-dependent nature is presented and how this knowledge is being leveraged to unleash the immune system against the tumor is 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.

Arginine metabolism : nitric oxide and beyond

TL;DR: Physiological roles and relationships between the pathways of arginine synthesis and catabolism in vivo are complex and difficult to analyse, owing to compartmentalized expression of various enzymes at both organ and subcellular levels.

Polarization of Tumor-Associated Neutrophil Phenotype by TGF-β: “N1” versus “N2” TAN

TL;DR: It is suggested that TGF-beta within the tumor microenvironment induces a population of TAN with a protumor phenotype, and depletion of these neutrophils significantly blunts antitumor effects of treatment and reduces CD8(+) T cell activation.

The Nature of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: Current understanding is discussed as to the nature of differences in the function and fate of MDSC in the tumor and peripheral lymphoid organs, the underlying mechanisms, and their potential impact on the regulation of tumor progression.
