Using immunomagnetic beads (Dynabeads, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), CD14+ monocytes as well as CD34+ stem cells were positively isolated for direct cell lysis, while negatively isolated monocytes were split into two fractions for stimulation with 10 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 3h, or for 20h cell culture towards macrophages.

Data processing
Array data were extracted using Illumina's BeadStudio software. One mislabeled array and ten low-signal arrays (corresponding to seven unique samples and one triplicate sample) with less than 30% of the probes having a detection p-value <0.01 were removed, leaving a total of 151 arrays for analysis (including 39 technical replicates). From the CD34+ cell samples, 38 arrays were analyzed, including 8 technical replicates. Normalization and statistical analysis of the bead summary data from the arrays was carried out using the limma package14 and in-house scripts in R/Bioconductor. Bead summary intensities were log2-transformed and then normalized using quantile normalization. To find differentially expressed genes, we performed a linear model analysis. Technical replicates were handled by estimating a common value for the intra-replicate correlation and including it in the linear model. Differential expression between the treatments of interest was assessed using a moderated t-test. This test is similar to a standard t-test for each probe except that the standard errors are moderated across genes to ensure more stable inference for each gene. Resulting p-values were corrected for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate.
