Eugenol triggers CD11bGr1 myeloid-derived suppressor cell apoptosis endogenous apoptosis pathway.

To study the effect and underlying molecular mechanism of eugenol on CD11bGr1 myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). The effect of eugenol on the inhibition of immortalized MDSC cell line MSC-2 and murine peritoneal macrophages was detected by MTT. Flow cytometry was used to detect the pro-apoptosis effect of eugenol on MDSCs. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by western blot. Eugenol has a selective inhibitory effect on MDSCs in a dose-dependent manner, which activates an endogenous apoptosis pathway, leading to apoptosis. Eugenol promotes the apoptosis of MDSCs the intrinsic pathway.
