Targeting myeloid-derived suppressor cells for cancer therapy
The emergence and clinical application of immunotherapy is considered a promising breakthrough in cancer treatment. According to the literature, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has achieved positive clinical responses in different cancer types, although its clinical efficacy remains limited in some...

The emergence and clinical application of immunotherapy is considered a promising breakthrough in cancer treatment. According to the literature, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has achieved positive clinical responses in different cancer types, although its clinical efficacy remains limited in some patients. The main obstacle to inducing effective antitumor immune responses with ICB is the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), as major immune cells that mediate tumor immunosuppression, are intimately involved in regulating the resistance of cancer patients to ICB therapy and to clinical cancer staging and prognosis. Therefore, a combined treatment strategy using MDSC inhibitors and ICB has been proposed and continually improved. This article discusses the immunosuppressive mechanism, clinical significance, and visualization methods of MDSCs. More importantly, it describes current research progress on compounds targeting MDSCs to enhance the antitumor efficacy of ICB. |
