Comparison of the RNA expression profiles of CD14+ monocytes from human peripheral blood with derived dendritic cells (DCs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) obtained by exposure with GM-CSF/IL4 and GM-CSF/IL4/PGE2, respectively, during 6 days

The expression profiles of RNA of human CD14+ monocytes were compared with derived dendritic cells (DCs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) following GM-CSF/IL4 and GM-CSF/IL4/PGE2 incubation for 6 days using the Agilent Human GE v3 8x60K array (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). The samples were hybridized in the array following the manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA isolated by standard procedures from CD14+ cells (total monocytes, MOs) corresponding to three sets of samples of monocytes (MOs) and derived DCs and MDSCs following incubation with GM-CSF/IL4 and GM-CSF/IL4/PGE2, respectively, for 6 days.
