Transcription profiling of human monocytes cultured in the presence of M-CSF for 7 days and polarized to M1 or M2 cells to characterize human monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and polarization

ABSTRACT: Monocytes mature to macrophages in the presence of the lineage determining cytokine M-CSF. They can be further polarized into M1 or M2 macrophages with distinct functional properties. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying macrophage maturation and polarization and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: Freshly isolated monocytes were cultured in the presence of M-CSF for 7 days, and then polarized to M1 or M2 cells. The study includes Monocytes at day 0, macrophages at day 3 and 7, M1 and m2 polarized macrophages.
