Description
In murine large intestinal lamina propria, CX3CR1high resident Mfs possess anti-inflammatory properties and thereby support intestinal homeostasis. Unlike other tissue-resident Ms, transcription factors that regulate differentiation and function of CX3CR1high Ms in the large intestine are poorly understood. Thus, to identify transcription factors specifically expressed in CX3CR1high Ms among large intestinal lamina propria innate myeloid cells, we comprehensively analyzed the genes expression profiles in CX3CR1high Ms, CX3CR1- CD11b+ CD11c+ cells, CD11b- CD11chigh DCs, and CD11b+CD11c- cells.
