Endoplasmic reticulum disulfide oxidase ERO1-alpha plays a role in the formation of disulfide bonds in collaboration with protein disulfide isomerase. Disulfide bond formation is required for the proper conformation and function of secreted and cell surface proteins. We found that ERO1-alpha was overexpressed in a variety of tumor types; therefore, we examined its role in tumor growth. In BALB/c mice, knockdown of ERO1-alpha within 4T1 mouse mammary gland cancer (KD) cells caused retardation of in vivo tumor growth compared with tumor growth of scrambled control (SCR) cells. In contrast, when ERO1-alpha-overexpressed 4T1 (OE) cells were compared with mock control cells, OE cells showed augmented tumor growth. However, differences in tumor growth were not observed among four groups of nude mice, suggesting that expression of ERO1-alpha diminished antitumor immunity. We observed dense peritumoral granulocytic infiltrates in tumors of wild-type 4T1 and SCR cells but not KD cells, and these cells were identified as polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). In addition, production of G-CSF and CXCL1/2, which have intramolecular disulfide bonds, from KD cells was significantly decreased compared with that from SCR cells. In contrast, OE cells produced a larger amount of these molecules than did mock cells. These changes were regulated at the posttranscriptional level. These results suggest that overexpression of ERO1-alpha in the tumor inhibits the T cell response by recruiting polymorphonuclear MDSCs via regulation of MDSC-prone cytokines and chemokines.
