Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) play a major role in cancer-related immune suppression, yet the nature of this suppression remains controversial. In this study, we evaluated the ability of MDSC to elicit CD4+ T cell tolerance in different mouse tumor models. In contrast to CD8+ T-cell tolerance, which could be induced by MDSC in all the tumor models tested, CD4+ T-cell tolerance could be elicited in only one of the models (MC38) where a substantial level of MHC class II was expressed on MDSC, compared to control myeloid cells. Mechanistic investigations revealed that MDSC deficient in MHC class II could induce tolerance to CD8+ T cells but not to CD4+ T cells. Unexpectedly, antigen-specific CD4+ T cells (but not CD8+ T cells) could dramatically enhance the immune suppressive activity of MDSC by converting them into powerful non-specific suppressor cells. This striking effect was mediated by direct cell-cell contact through cross-linking of MHC class II on MDSC. We also implicated an Ets-1 transcription factor-regulated increase in expression of Cox-2 and prostaglandin E2 in MDSCs in mediating this effect. Together, our findings suggest that activated CD4+ T cells that are antigen-specific may enhance the immune suppressive activity of MDSC, a mechanism that might serve normally as a negative feedback loop to control immune responses that becomes dysregulated in cancer.
