Flow cytometry analysis of the intracellular expression of transcription factor GATA6 in human peritoneal monocytes/macrophages. Representative FACS dot-plots of the gating strategy for blood monocytes subsets based on CD14/CD16 expression and the level of intracellular expression of transcription factor GATA6 in blood monocytes are displayed (a). Representative FACS histograms of intracellular expression of transcription factor GATA6 in the three blood monocytes subsets are shown partially overlaid (b). Representative FACS dot-plots of the gating strategy of peritoneal subsets based on CD14/CD16 expression, and the level of intracellular expression of transcription factor GATA6 in peritoneal monocytes/macrophages are also displayed (c). Representative FACS histograms partially overlaid corresponding to GATA6 intracellular expression in the three different peritoneal monocytes/macrophages subsets are shown (d). Percentages of GATA6 positive cells present in peritoneum, indicated as mean ± SEM, are shown next to the corresponding histogram. Percentages referred to the totality (100%) of monocyte/macrophages into the correspondent subset. Empty histograms correspond to FMO control-PE and coloured histograms to GATA6-PE in blood (pink: CD14++CD16 classic subset; orange: CD14++CD16+ intermediate subset; dark red: CD14+/lowCD16+ non-classical subset) or peritoneum (light blue: CD14++CD16 subset; bright blue: CD14++CD16+ subset; dark blue: CD14highCD16high subset). Correlation analysis of GATA6 intensity expression (MFI) related to the corresponding MFI of CD14 (black circles) and CD16 (black squares) for each monocyte/macrophage subset is displayed (e).
