<p>Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which are derived from immature bone marrow cell (BMC) populations that proliferate in the tumor microenvironment, suppress T cell immune responses. Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 4, which is a Ca2+ channel, is involved in tumor growth, but the role of TRP channels in MDSC differentiation and function remains unclear. Here, we first investigated the involvement of TRP channels in the differentiation of MDSCs. The selective TRPV4 channel antagonist RN-1734 increased the population of MDSCs (CD11b+Gr-1+) at Day 3, while the TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A decreased it, suggesting that stimulation of TRPV4 suppresses the differentiation of BMCs to MDSCs. GSK1016790A also increased the production of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, but suppressed the expression of Arg-1 mRNA, which encodes arginase-1, in MDSCs. Furthermore, GSK1016790A decreased the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in MDSCs, thereby attenuating STAT3 signaling. Our results suggest that TRPV4 plays a role in regulating both the differentiation and function of MDSCs, and therefore could be a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.</p>
