Dynamic Gene Expression Response to TGF-β Stimulation in Multipotent Progenitors and Common Dendritic Cell Progenitors

Multipotent progenitors (MPP) and common dendritic cell progenitors (CDP) were obtained from mouse bone marrow, followed by in vitro culture with a specific cytokine cocktail and FACS sorting (Felker et al., 2010; Seré et al., 2012). Cells were treated with 10 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) for 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h as described (Felker et al., 2010) or left untreated. Untreated multipotent progenitor (MPP) - MPP_0h_1 - MPP_0h_2 - MPP_0h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (2 hours) MPP - MPP_2h_1 - MPP_2h_2 - MPP_2h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (4 hours) MPP - MPP_4h_1 - MPP_4h_2 - MPP_4h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (8 hours) MPP - MPP_8h_1 - MPP_8h_2 - MPP_8h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (12 hours) MPP - MPP_12h_1 - MPP_12h_2 - MPP_12h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (24 hours) MPP - MPP_24h_1 - MPP_24h_2 - MPP_24h_3 Untreated common dendritic cell progenitor (CDP) - CDP_0h_1 - CDP_0h_2 - CDP_0h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (2 hours) CDP - CDP_2h_1 - CDP_2h_2 - CDP_2h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (4 hours) CDP - CDP_4h_1 - CDP_4h_2 - CDP_4h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (8 hours) CDP - CDP_8h_1 - CDP_8h_2 - CDP_8h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (12 hours) CDP - CDP_12h_1 - CDP_12h_2 - CDP_12h_3 TGF-beta1 treated (24 hours) CDP - CDP_24h_1 - CDP_24h_2 - CDP_24h_3
