CSF-1R negatively regulates PU.1 gene expression in human monocytes. a The expression of indicated genes was measured by RT-qPCR in monocytes transfected 72 h before with a scramble (SCR) or a CFMS specific siRNA (mean +/− SEM of 6 independent experiments, results in CFMS-siRNA transfected cells normalized to SCR-siRNA = blue hatched line; Mann–Whitney test: *P < 0.05; ns, non significant). b Expression of LUCIFERASE (LUC, normalized to Renilla) and CFMS (normalized to TUBULIN) genes in monocytes, 48 h after transfection with a scramble (SCR) or a CFMS specific siRNA and PGL4.17-EGR1 motif plasmid (mean +/− SEM of 3 independent experiments, results in CFMS-siRNA transfected cells normalized to SCR-siRNA = blue hatched line; Paired t test: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). c Expression of LUCIFERASE (normalized to Renilla) and CFMS (normalized to TUBULIN) in monocytes 48 h after transfection with SCR or CFMS specific siRNA and PGL4.17-PU1 promoter 1 (complete) or PGL4.17-PU1 promoter 2 (deleted of CSF-1R recruitment site) plasmids (mean +/− SEM of 3 independent experiments, normalization to control siRNA with PU.1 promoter 1 = blue hatched line, Paired t test: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). d Expression of PU.1 and CFMS genes in monocytes 72 h after transfection with SCR or CFMS specific siRNA (mean +/− SEM of 4 independent experiments, normalization to control siRNA, Paired t test: *P < 0.05)
