The DNA methylation profiles of CD14+ monocytes, dendritic cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Homo sapiens

The methylation profiles of bisulfite-modified DNA of human CD14+ monocytes were compared with derived immature dendritic cells (GM-CSF/IL-4 ), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (GM-CSF/IL-4/PGE-2), EP2 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells (GM-CSF/IL-4/PGE-2/ PF 04418948 5 µM), EP4 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells (GM-CSF/IL-4/PGE-2/ L-161,982 5 µM) and EP2 + EP4 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells (GM-CSF/IL-4/PGE-2/PF 04418948 5 µM /L-161,982 5 µM) using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA,). This platform allows the interrogation of >485,000 methylation sites per sample at single-nucleotide resolution, and comprises an average of 17 CpG sites per gene in the 99% of RefSeq genes. 96% of CpG islands are covered, with additional coverage in CpG island shores and the regions flanking them. The samples were hybridized in the array following the manufacturer’s instructions. Overall design: Total DNA isolated by standard procedures from CD14+ cells (total monocytes, MOs) corresponding to six sets of samples of monocytes (MOs), derived immature DCs, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, EP2 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells, EP4 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells and EP2 + EP4 antagonized myeloid-derived suppressor cells (DCS and MDSCs).
