Based on studies in mouse tumor models, granulocytes appear to play a tumor-promoting role. However, there are limited data about the phenotype and function of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) in humans. Here, we identify a subset of TANs that exhibited characteristics of both neutrophils and antigen-presenting cells (APC) in early-stage human lung cancer. These APC-like “hybrid neutrophils”, which originate from CD11b+CD15hiCD10−CD16low immature progenitors, are able to cross-present antigens, as well as trigger and augment anti-tumor T cell responses. IFN-γ and GM-CSF are requisite factors in the tumor that working through the Ikaros transcription factor, synergistically exert their APC-promoting effects on the progenitors. Overall, these data demonstrate the existence of a specialized TAN subset with anti-tumor capabilities in human cancer.
