CX3CR1 expression is decreased in Mo-MDSCs in p16/p21-DKO mice. a Identification of the factor regulating p16/p21-dependent Mo-MDSC accumulation using RNA-sequencing data analysis; the Venn diagram shows the numbers of genes overexpressed in Mo-MDSCs compared with those in PMN-MDSCs (fold change >2, p < 0.05) and downregulated in DKO Mo-MDSCs compared with WT Mo-MDSCs (fold change <0.75, p < 0.05) categorised under chemokine receptor activity (biogroup). b Cx3cr1 mRNA expression in PMN- and Mo-MDSCs from WT or p16/p21-DKO mice (n = 3), as determined by qRT-PCR. c Representative flow cytometry histograms showing CX3CR1 expression in PMN- and Mo-MDSCs in BM (left), spleen (middle), and tumour (right) from WT and p16/p21-DKO mice 3 weeks after SCT cell injection. d Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CX3CR1 expression in Mo-MDSCs shown in c (n = 5); data are presented as the mean ± SEM. The statistical significance was determined by Student’s t-test; *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01; NS not significant
