Fig. 5. The differentiation of the self-renewing macrophages into dendritic cells or osteoclasts.

a The self-renewing macrophages were cultured for 5 days with rhM-CSF (upper) alone or rmGM-CSF plus rmIL-4 (lower). b The self-renewing macrophages were cultured as in a, and analyzed for the expression of CD80, CD11c, or MHC-II by flow cytometry. MFI mean fluorescence intensity. c The self-renewing macrophages were cultured for 7 days with rhM-CSF (upper) alone or rhM-CSF plus rhRANKL (lower), and subjected to tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. d The self-renewing macrophages were cultured as in c for 5, 6, or 7 days. Their TRAP activity was also quantified using the TRAP solution kit, and calculated as nmoles of p-NP per ml (mean ± SD, n = 3). e The self-renewing macrophages were cultured as in c for 3 days, and analyzed for the expression of the indicated genes by qRT-PCR.
