MDSCs correlate with survival and are increased in the circulation of patients with high levels of IL-8. (A) Representative flow cytometric analysis of MDSCs in the peripheral blood of stage IV melanoma patients. Correlation of MO-MDSCs with circulating concentrations of IL-6 (B) or IL-8 (C). (D) The frequency of total and CD14(+) MDSCs was compared in patients with high or low levels of IL-8 and compared using a Pearson correlation test. The overall survival of patients with high or low levels of (E) total, (F) MO-, or (G) PMN-MDSCs was compared using a log-rank test. The cell surface expression of CXCR1 (H) and CXCR2 (I) was compared between PMN- and MO-MDSCs. (J) The relative chemotactic index of MDSCs toward IL-8 was assessed using a transwell chemotaxis assay, *p < 0.05.
