Neutrophils are of high heterogeneity and plasticity and can polarize to immunosuppressive PMN-MDSCs upon stimulation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title><jats:p>For analysis of myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) subset proportions, 12 endometrium tissues and 12 peripheral blood samples were collected from non-pregnant women, and 40 decidua tissues and 16 peripheral blood samples were obtained from women with normal early pregnancy undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination for nonmedical reasons with gestation age of 6\u201310 weeks. Twenty-nine decidua tissues were collected for isolation of CD15+ PMN-MDSCs. Twenty endometrium tissues and 30 decidua tissues were collected for cytokine analysis, immunohistochemistry or neutrophil stimulation. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 36 healthy donors for isolation of CD3+ T cells and CD15+ neutrophils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proportion of MDSC subsets in the decidua and peripheral blood of normal early pregnancy, endometrium and peripheral blood of non-pregnant women was analysed by flow cytometry. The phenotypes and function of decidual PMN-MDSCs and circulating neutrophils were compared by flow cytometry. Circulating neutrophils were stimulated with decidual explant supernatant (DES) and the phenotypes were measured by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. The suppressive capacity of decidual PMN-MDSCs and DES-conditioned neutrophils was analysed by flow cytometry with or without anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody. Cytokines from DES and endometrial explant supernatant (EES) were detected by a Luminex assay. GM-CSF expression was determined by ELISA and immunohistochemistry. Neutrophils were stimulated with DES, EES, DES with anti-GM-CSF antibody or EES with GM-CSF. CD11b, lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), PD-L2 and pSTAT5 expression were measured by flow cytometry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title><jats:p>The frequency of PMN-MDSCs was significantly increased in the decidua of early pregnancy compared with peripheral blood of non-pregnant women, the endometrium of non-pregnant women or peripheral blood during early pregnancy. Decidual PMN-MDSCs suppressed T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Phenotypes of decidual PMN-MDSCs were similar to mature activated neutrophils. DES-induced CD11b, LOX-1, PD-L2 expression and STAT5 phosphorylation in neutrophils. The PD-L2 expression in neutrophils was dependent on STAT5 phosphorylation. Both decidual PMN-MDSCs and DES-conditioned neutrophils suppressed T-cell proliferation via PD-1 signalling. GM-CSF was up-regulated in the decidua and induced CD11b, LOX-1 and PD-L2 expression on neutrophils. DES significantly induced CD11b, LOX-1, PD-L2 expression and STAT5 phosphorylation. Anti-GM-CSF antibody remarkably blocked such stimulation in neutrophils. EES did not induce CD11b, LOX-1, PD-L2 expression or STAT5 phosphorylation, while GM-CSF treatment sufficiently stimulated CD11b, LOX-1, PD-L2 expression and STAT5 phosphorylation in neutrophils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>LARGE SCALE DATA<\/jats:title><jats:p>N\/A<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was based on in vitro experiments and we were not able to evaluate neutrophils differentiation to PMN-MDSCs in other sites before entering the maternal\u2013foetal interface due to the limited availability of human samples. This needs to be explored using murine models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first study demonstrating that decidual PMN-MDSCs are a group of immunoregulatory cells with mature status, and that neutrophils can be induced to a PMN-MDSC-like phenotype with decidua-derived GM-CSF via pSTAT5\/PD-L2 signalling. This study indicates that GM-CSF can facilitate immune tolerance of early pregnancy through regulating PMN-MDSCs and further provides a potential role of GM-CSF in prevention and treatment for pregnancy complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title><jats:p>This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81671481) and National Natural Science Foundation of China (81871179).
