Circulating CD14⁺HLA-DR^−/low Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells as Potential Biomarkers for the Identification of Psoriasis TCM Blood-Heat Syndrome and Blood-Stasis Syndrome

Figure 1

Frequency of circulating Mo-MDSCs is increased in the peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis with BS syndrome. Representative flow cytometry panels show quantification of Mo-MDSCs among PBMCs of healthy control subjects (a), psoriatic BS syndrome group (b), and psoriatic BH syndrome group (c). (d) The frequency of HLA-DR^−/low cells among CD14⁺ cells from psoriatic BS syndrome is significantly higher when compared to healthy controls or the psoriatic BH syndrome group, respectively (). (e) The frequency of HLA-DR^−/low cells among CD14⁺ cells of psoriasis patients is higher when compared to healthy controls.
