Additionally, the maturation stage of MDSCs remains a subject of debate and is largely unknown within the AML context. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of flow cytometry immunophenotyping data obtained at the diagnosis of AML patients. We explored how the enrichment of neutrophil maturation stages, the frequency of PMN-MDSC-like cells and monocytic MDSC-like population (M-MDSC-like), and the ratios of MDSC-like cells to T lymphocytes correlate with relevant prognostic indicators.

We previously demonstrated that leptin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) promote the expression of co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of DCs.

Therefore, in the present study, we investigate the effects of a DC vaccine treated with leptin and LPS on the genes involved in tumor metastasis, angiogenesis, and related cytokines in a mouse model of breast cancer. Tumor induction was achieved through subcutaneous injection of 4T1 cells into syngeneic mice. On days 12 and 19, the mouse groups received the DC vaccine treated with leptin and a combination of leptin and LPS. After sacrificing the mice on day 26, the levels of IL-6 and IL-33 in the serum were assayed using the ELISA technique, and the expression levels of the VEGF, CCL2, MMP9, and CCL5 genes in the tumors were measured by Real-Time PCR. Compared to untreated tumor-bearing mice, the leptin-treated mature DC (mDC) group exhibited a significant reduction in the expression of MMP9 (0.33-fold, p = 0.01) and CCL5 (0.81-fold, p = 0.02).
