Background: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, but their regulation in patients with aspirin-intolerant asthma (AIA) remains unclear.Objective: We sought to characterize MDSC accumulation and pathogenic functions in allergic airway inflammation mediated by COX-1 deficiency or aspirin treatment in mice.Methods: Allergic airway inflammation was induced in mice by means of ovalbumin challenge. The distribution and function of MDSCs in mice were analyzed by using flow cytometry and pharmacologic/gene manipulation approaches.Results: CD11b(+)Gr1(high)Ly6G(+)Ly6C(int) MDSCs (polymorphonuclear MDSCs [PMN-MDSCs]) recruited to the lungs are negatively correlated with airway inflammation in allergen-challenged mice. Aspirin-treated and COX-1 knockout (KO) mice showed significantly lower accumulation of PMN-MDSCs in the inflamed lung and immune organs accompanied by increased T(H)2 airway responses. The T(H)2-suppressive function of PMN-MDSCs was notably impaired by COX-1 deletion or inhibition, predominantly through downregulation of arginase-1. COX-1-derived prostaglandin E-2 promoted PMN-MDSC generation in bone marrow through E prostanoid 2 and 4 receptors (EP2 and EP4), whereas the impaired arginase-1 expression in PMN-MDSCs in COX-1 KO mice was mediated by dysregulation of the prostaglandin E-2/EP4/cyclic AMP/protein kinase A pathway. EP4 agonist administration alleviated allergy-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in COX-1 KO mice. Moreover, the immunosuppressive function of PMN-MDSCs from patients with AIA was dramatically decreased compared with that from patients with aspirin-tolerant asthma.Conclusion: The immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs was diminished in both allergen-challenged COX-1 KO mice and patients with AIA, probably through an EP4-mediated signaling pathway, indicating that activation of PMN-MDSCs might be a promising therapeutic strategy for asthma, particularly AIA.
