Impaired Transmigration of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells across Human Sinusoidal Endothelium Is Associated with Decreased Expression of CD13 [IMMUNE REGULATION]

Human monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MO-MDSCs) within the hepatic compartment suppress inflammation and impair immune surveillance in liver cancer. It is currently not known whether recruitment of MO-MDSCs from blood via hepatic sinusoidal endothelium (HSEC) contributes to their enrichment within the hepatic compartment. We compared the transmigratory potential of MO-MDSCs and monocytes after adhesion to hepatic endothelial monolayers in flow-based assays that mimic in vivo shear stress in the sinusoids. Despite comparable binding to HSEC monolayers, proportionally fewer MO-MDSCs underwent transendothelial migration, indicating that the final steps of extravasation, where actin polymerization plays an important role, are impaired in MO-MDSCs. In this article, we found reduced levels of CD13 on MO-MDSCs, which has recently been reported to control cell motility in monocytes, alongside reduced VLA-4 expression, an integrin predominantly involved in adherence to the apical side of the endothelium. CD13 and VLA-4 blocking and activating Abs were used in flow-based adhesion assays, live-cell imaging of motility, and actin polymerization studies to confirm a role for CD13 in impaired MO-MDSC transmigration. These findings indicate that CD13 significantly contributes to tissue infiltration by MO-MDSCs and monocytes, thereby contributing to the pathogenesis of hepatic inflammation.
