Transcription profiling of human monocyte derived dendritric cells matured with Galectin-1 or LPS vs controls

ABSTRACT: Human monocyte derived dendritic cells matured via galectin-1 or LPS. Experiment Overall Design: 4 conditions with 3 replicates of each include control or intreated immature MDDCS, galectin-1 treated MDDCs, LPS treated MDDCs, and vehicle control MDDCs. (each replicate is from a distinct DONOR). Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent mediators of the immune response, and can be activated by exogenous pathogen components. Galectin-1 is a member of the conserved beta-galactoside-binding lectin family that binds galactoside residues on cell surface glycoconjugates. Galectin-1 is known to play a role in immune regulation via action on multiple immune cells. However, its effects on human DCs are unknown. In this study, we show that galectin-1 induces a phenotypic and functional maturation in human mon
