Neutrophil immunosuppressive gene signature can be traced back to early progenitors (A) Neutrophil T cell co-culture suppression assay measuring the proliferation of CD8+ (above) and CD4+ (below) T cells after incubation for 72 h with CD3/CD28 beads either alone (dark gray) or with neutrophils from WT or KEP BM (blue), blood (red), spleen (light gray) or lung (yellow). Data from 4 independent experiments, n = 3–4 mice per genotype. Unpaired t test with Welch-correction. Error bars represent SD. (B) PCA analysis performed on bulk RNA-seq of BM, blood and lung neutrophils from WT (circles) and KEP (triangles) mice, showing separation by tissue along PC1 and by the presence of a tumor along PC3. (C) Volcano plot depicting common up and downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in BM, blood and lung neutrophils. Genes with FDR < 0.05 were considered significant. (D) Heatmap showing the scaled expression of common differentially expressed genes in (C) across BM, blood and lung neutrophil populations. (E) Neutrophil pseudotime expression dynamics of commonly upregulated genes from (C) which also show upregulation in HSPC populations. (F) Volcano plots showing gene expression changes in KEP mice in each cell population. Genes in the ‘‘MDSC signature’’ obtained from Alshetaiwi H. et al.20 are highlighted. GSEA was performed using the ‘‘MDSC signature’’ on genes ranked based on their log fold changes. Normalized enrichment scores (NES) and adjusted p values are shown. See also Figure S6.
