More importantly, the most striking differences in GE were observed for MRC1 (CD206), MARCO, CCL3, CCL4, CCL18, CCL20, CXCL3, CXCL5, CXCL8, CD1B, CD38, CD40, CD74, CD274 (PD‐L1), CD301 (CLEC10A), CSFR2, CTSC, FLT1 (VEGFR), ICAM1 (CD54), IL10RA, SOCS3, STAT3, TNFSF13 (APRIL), and VEGFA. Moreover, HLA‐class II molecules were expressed higher in L428‐educated Mφ than in DLBCL‐CM and M‐CSF Mφ. This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
