Altered expression profile of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) following cannabidiol (CBD) treatment. Absolute cell counts for MDSC: cells were isolated from intraperitoneal lavage (A), spinal cord and brain (B) on indicated day. Cells were stained with CD11b and Gr-1 (MDSC) then enumerated using total cell count and frequency from flow cytometry. Data represented as mean ± SEM (n = 3–5 per sample). Suppressive function of CBD-induced MDSCs was tested using ex vivo restimulation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)-VEH splenocytes in the presence of MOG35–55 (30 μg/mL) for 3 days. Cells were pulsed with thymidine and analyzed using BetaScint Counter and were assessed for proliferation (C) and total viable cell number (D). Data represented as mean ± SEM. ANOVA, ***p < 0.0001, **p < 0.001, and *p < 0.05 with Tukey’s post hoc test.
