Increased circulating monocyte MDSCs positively correlate with serum Interleukin-10 in metastatic melanoma patients
In this study MM patients have significantly higher percentage of CD14 + HLA-DR- mMDSCs, as well as increased the baseline mMDSC/PBMC subset (NK, T, B cells, monocytes) ratio. Although there is no significant difference in the percentage of mMDSCs between groups of MM patients with different localization of distant metastasis, patients with elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) have statistically significant higher percentage of these cells compared to LDH negative patients. Furthermore, in MM patients there is statistically significant positive correlation between values of IL-10 and the percentage of mMDSCs, only. Therefore, therapeutics that target circulating mMDSCs and IL-10 may have a big importance in the improvement of antitumor immunity in MM patients.PMID:37160888 | DOI:10.1177/17534259231172079
