摘要：Severe blunt chest trauma (TxT) induces a strong inflammatory response with posttraumatic immune suppression pointing to an impaired adaptive immune response. Since CD11b(+)Gr-1(+)-expressing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are induced after inflammation and suppress T cell responses, MDSC induction and their impact on T cell functions was analysed in an experimental TxT model. MDSCs were induced preferentially in the lung until 24 hours after TxT. Although MDSC numbers were only faintly increased in the spleen, splenic MDSCs isolated after TxT strongly inhibited alloantigen-induced T cell proliferation in vitro. Suppressive activity correlated with increased expression of arginase-1 and iNOS. MDSCs also prevented antigen-induced T cell expansion in vivo, since staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced proliferation of vβ8(+) T cells was impaired in TxT mice in the presence of CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) cells. Surprisingly, MDSCs were not involved in shifting T cells into Th2 cells, characterized by the secretion of cytokines impairing cell-mediated immunity and promoting immunosuppression. Instead, the presence of CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) cells was required for efficient IL-2, IFN-γ and TNFα production after antigenic stimulation, indicating, that elevation of MDSCs early after traumatic injuries might contribute to restrict the initial inflammatory response by alleviating T cell expansion, however, without impeding Th1 functions.
