Abstract [eng] Myeloid cells co-expressing the markers CD11b, Ly-6G, and SiglecF can be found in large numbers in murine lung adenocarcinomas and accelerate cancer growth by fostering tumor cell invasion, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression; however, some of these cells’ fundamental features remain unexplored. Here, we show that tumor-infiltrating CD11b+ Ly-6G+ SiglecFhigh cells are bona fide mature neutrophils and therefore differ from other myeloid cells, including SiglecFhigh eosinophils, SiglecFhigh macrophages, and CD11b+ Ly-6G+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells. We further show that SiglecFhigh neutrophils gradually accumulate in growing tumors, where they can live for several days; this lifespan is in marked contrast to that of their SiglecFlow counterparts and neutrophils in general, which live for several hours only. Together, these findings reveal distinct attributes for tumor-promoting SiglecFhigh neutrophils and help explain their deleterious accumulation in the tumor bed.
