Day 7 mRNA expression analysis of transcription factors involved in B-cell-to-plasma-cell differentiation. (A,C) The transcriptional expression of BCL6, PAX5, BACH2, IRF8, IRF4, PRDM1, XBP1s, and EBF1 genes was evaluated in a qRT-PCR on D0 and D7. The results are expressed relative to gene expression in CLL B-cells on D0, according to the 2−ΔΔCT method. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM from five experiments. (B) The relative mRNA expression of GAS6 in CLL B-cells on D0, compared with CpG/CD40L/c-stimulated cells on D7. The data were calculated according to the relative 2–ΔCT method. The values on D7 were compared with those on D0, and the statistical significance was calculated in a Wilcoxon test: *p < 0.05. ns, not significant.
