The anti-angiogenic drug sunitinib is a receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitor with significant, yet not curative, therapeutic impacts in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Sunitinib is also an immunomodulator, potently reversing myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) accumulation and T-cell inhibition in the blood even of non-responder RCC patients. We observed that sunitinib similarly prevented MDSC accumulation and restored normal T-cell function to spleens of tumor-bearing mice, independent of sunitinib's capacity to inhibit tumor progression (RENCA>CT26>4T1). Both monocytic and neutrophilic splenic MDSC were highly repressible by sunitinib. In contrast, MDSC within the microenvironment of 4T1 tumors or human RCC tumors proved highly resistant to sunitinib, and ambient T-cell function remained suppressed. Proteomic analyses comparing tumor to peripheral compartments demonstrated that GM-CSF predicted sunitinib resistance, and recombinant GM-CSF conferred sunitinib resistance to MDSC in vivo and in vitro. MDSC conditioning with GM-CSF uniquely inhibited STAT3 and promoted STAT5 activation, and STAT5ab(null/null) MDSC were rendered sensitive to sunitinib in the presence of GM-CSF in vitro. We conclude that compartment-dependent GM-CSF exposure in resistant tumors may account for sunitinib's regionalized impact upon host MDSC modulation, and hypothesize that ancillary strategies to decrease such regionalization will enhance sunitinib's potency as an immunomodulator and a cancer therapy.
