ABSTRACT
Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are known to accumulate in cancer patients and tumor-bearing mice, playing a significant role in promoting tumor growth. Depleting MDSCs has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. Here, we demonstrated that a fungal polysaccharide, extracted from Grifola frondosa, can effectively suppress breast tumorigenesis in mice by reducing the accumulation of MDSCs. Treatment with Grifola frondosa polysaccharide (GFI) leads to a substantial decrease in MDSCs in the blood and tumor tissue, and a potent inhibition of tumor growth. GFI treatment significantly reduces the number and proportion of MDSCs in the spleen, although this effect is not observed in the bone marrow. Further analysis reveals that GFI treatment primarily targets PMN-MDSCs, sparing M-MDSCs. Our research also highlights that GFI treatment has the dual effect of restoring and activating CD8+T cells, achieved through the downregulation of TIGIT expression and the upregulation of Granzyme B. Taken together, our findings suggest that GFI treatment effectively eliminates PMN-MDSCs in the spleen, leading to a reduction in MDSC numbers in circulation and tumor tissues, ultimately enhancing the antitumor immune response of CD8+T cells and inhibiting tumor growth. This study introduces a promising therapeutic agent for breast cancer.
