Title: Human monocytes exposed to conditioned medium of OCI-Ly3 cell line The OCI-Ly3 cell line was maintained in RPMI1640 supplemented with 2mg/ml glutamine and 10% fetal calf serum. For the production of lymphoma conditioned media, cells were seeded at a density of 5 x 10^5 cells/ml and incubated in complete RPMI 1640 medium for two days. Cell supernatants were centrifuged at 300 g for 10 minutes at 4 degree C. PBMCs of healthy donors were isolated from fresh buffy coats by density-gradient centrifugation over Biocoll Separating Solution (Biochrom, Berlin, Germany). CD14+ monocytes were obtained from PBMCs by magnetic cell separation using CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Purity of CD14+ cells after magnetic cell separation was determined by staining with specific markers and quantification by flow cytometry using a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences). Monocytes were differentiated in the presence of lymphoma-conditioned medium mixed in equal parts with complete RPMI1640. Total RNA was isolated from monocytes that had differentiated into macrophages using the NucleoSpin Kit (Machery-Nagel). Sequencing libraries were generated from polyadenylated RNA and sequenced at GATC (Konstanz, Germany) on an Illumina HiSeq instrument with a read length of 50 nt. Sequences are provided in fastq format. Qualities are Sanger-encoded. The fastq file was compressed with bzip2.
