Suppressor functions of MDSC

Pathway Effector molecule Function
Granulocyte-like subset STAT3, NADPH High ROS, Low NO, Arg-1 Modification of T-cell receptor, antigen-specific unresponsiveness, nonspecific immune suppression
Monocyte-like subset M1: STAT1, iNOS M1: High NO, TNFα, Low ROS Inhibition of MHC class Il expression, T-cell apoptosis
M2: STAT 3, Arg-1 M2: High Arg-1, IL-10, TGFβ Activation of Treg, induction of T-cell anergy, long-term tolerance
