Effects of the activation of CRHPVN neurons on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in tumor microenvironments. A, B Representative flow cytometric dot plots (left panel) and quantitative analyses of TAM (A), M-MDSC and PMN-MDSC (B) derived from WT/hM3Dq or CRH-Cre/hM3Dq mice. Each point represents the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 6). C, D Quantitative PCR analysis of the expression of various mRNAs in TAM (C) and M-MDSC (D) derived from WT/hM3Dq or CRH-Cre/hM3Dq mice. Each point represents the mean ± S.E.M. Unpaired t-test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. WT/hM3Dq mice (n = 6)
