TABLE 1

Retinoids induce PPARγ, C/EBPβ, and some macrophage-associated genes but do not induce monocyte/macrophage development per se

Affymetrix GeneChip analysis was carried out from AM580 (100 nM)-treated THP-1 cells. After 96 hours of treatment, total RNA was extracted and labeled as described under Materials and Methods. The fold changes in PPAR and C/EBP mRNAs, in the induction of CD markers, and in genes from Gene Ontology database associated with macrophages are shown in the table. Genes with inductions of at least 2-fold are shown in bold.
