Abstract

Background: Cannabinoids induce potent myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in vivo. Results: Functional MDSCs induced by THC show distinct miRNA expression patterns. Conclusion: Specific miRNA may play important roles in MDSC development and function by regulating target genes involved in myeloid cell differentiation. Significance: Select miRNA could be important molecular targets to manipulate MDSC activity in cancer and inflammatory diseases.
