Elevated concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-alpha) are detected in pathologies characterized by chronic inflammation. Whether TNF-alpha plays a role in manipulating the host's immune system toward generating an immunosuppressive milieu, typical of ongoing chronic inflammation, is unclear. Here we showed that TNF-alpha exhibited a dual function during chronic inflammation: arresting differentiation of immature myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) primarily via the S100A8 and S100A9 inflammatory proteins and their corresponding receptor (RAGE) and augmenting MDSC suppressive activity. These functions led to in vivo T and NK cell dysfunction accompanied by T cell antigen receptor zeta chain downregulation. Furthermore, administration of etanercept (TNF-alpha antagonist) during early chronic inflammatory stages reduced MDSCs' suppressive activity and enhanced their maturation into dendritic cells and macrophages, resulting in the restoration of in vivo immune functions and recovery of zeta chain expression. Thus, TNF has a fundamental role in promoting an immunosuppressive environment generated during chronic inflammation.
