GSE79852 LIF-responsive genes in tumor-associated myeloid cells from ascitic fluid of syngeneic ovarian cancer model

Contributor : Joan SeoaneSeries Type : Expression profiling by arrayOrganism : Mus musculusLIF has an important role in immunosupression in different scenarios, such as embryo implantation in the uterus, autoimmune disease or organ transplantation. We decided to study the role of LIF on the immune response to cancer. We found that tumors expressing high levels of LIF promote an immune-tolerant microenvironment precluding the anti-tumor immune response.To establish the effect of LIF on tumor-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs), we used a syngeneic ovarian tumor model (ID8 cell line). We treated animals bearing tumors with anti-LIF antibody and isolated myeloid (CD11b+) cells from the ascites. RNA was extracted from the CD11b+ cells and the transcriptomic analysis was performed.
