M1 macrophage -secreted factors suppress the expression of AR target genes. (a) AR and (b) PSA (KLK3) expression after pre-treatment with R1881 followed by control (ctrl), M0 or M1 CM exposure. (c) Heatmap showing DEGs related to androgen response (ANDROGEN_NELSON_UP gene set) in control (ctrl), M0, M1 or M2 CM treatment. p <0.01, |logFC|>0.5, transcripts per million (TPM)>1.05. The data represents mean ± SD. Statistical significances were tested with the Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001.
