Cover Story: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) create an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment, making them an important target in cancer. Here we demonstrate, through proof-of-principle studies, the ability of near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) to visualize and selectively eliminate MDSCs that are significantly expanded in the spleen of tumor-bearing mice using an anti-Gr1 antibody conjugated to the NIR dye IR700. Anti-Gr1-IR700 conjugate retention in the spleen and lungs was respectively indicative of splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis and MDSC involvement in premetastastic niche formation during tumorigenesis. Characterization of spleen extracts, using 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), reveals metabolic changes indicative of MDSC elimination and spleen metabolite normalization comparable to that of the non-tumor-bearing host. View this paper
