This article analyzes the role of MDSCs in lymphopenia in COVID-19 patients and discusses their immunopathologic changes and potential therapeutic targets.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic and presents a significant danger to public health. Lymphopenia is considered to be the defining characteristic of severe COVID-19, especially in elderly people. Lymphopenia has been suggested as a pivotal factor in disease severity. To minimize mortality in COVID-19 patients, it is essential to have a deeper understanding of the processes behind lymphocytopenia. Recently, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have been confirmed as a key mediator of lymphopenia. MDSCs are characterized by their powerful capacity to suppress T cells and eventually contribute to the course of illness. Targeting these cells may improve the disease prognosis. In this article, we analyze the available research on MDSCs in lymphopenia and discuss their immunopathologic changes and prospective therapeutic targets in patients with COVID-19 lymphocytopenia.
