    Abstract:

    Objective To explore the role of CCR5 gene in the migration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) into the mouse liver cancer microenvironment. Methods A mouse model of orthotopic liver cancer wasestablished and changes in the MDSCs were detected by flow cytometry. To observe the effect of mouse liver cancer cell H22(T-cell) conditional medium (TCM) on the migration of MDSCs, these cells were sorted and pretreated with 100 nmol/ LCCR5 inhibitor. Finally, DiR-labeled MDSCs were injected into the tail vein of mice with in situ hepatocarcinoma to observethe effect of the CCR5 inhibitor on the migration of MDSCs in vivo. Results The expression of MDSCs in bone marrow,spleen, and liver was significantly higher in the mouse model of orthotopic liver cancer than that in normal mice. The purityof MDSCs was 94. 5%, and MDSCs expressed CCR5. Cell migration result showed that CCR5 inhibitor reduced therecruitment of MDSCs by TCM. The in vivo imaging analysis showed that the ability of MDSCs to migrate to the spleen andliver in vivo was weakened after treatment with CCR5 inhibitor. Conclusions CCR5-mediated MDSCs accumulate in the mouse liver cancer microenvironment. Inhibition of CCR5 in MDSCs may provide a new idea for cancer treatment.
