Chorionic mesodermal cells and the regulation of CD14 mRNA expression by PU.1. The cells were obtained by sequential treatment of chorion-decidua with dispase II and collagenase. (a) CD14 mRNA expression is increased in the chorionic mesodermal cells following transient transfection with full-length human PU.1 cDNA. CD14 mRNA expression was evaluated using mesodermal cells transfected with PU.1 expression vector at various concentrations for 24 h by qRT-PCR using exon-specific primers and normalization to beta-actin mRNA. (b) Immunoblotting of PU.1-transfected cells showing increased CD14 expression following PU.1 expression.
