Project description:In this study, we employed the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform to perform a Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis of the peritoneal macrophages genome-wide transcriptome response to B.melitensis infection. Common changes in gene expression were observed among Brucella app. infected macrophages suggesting similar strategies were employed for their survival and replication, inducing anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic. A total of 1019 differentially expressed (DE) transcripts were identified in the macrophages 4 hours after differ virluent B.melitensis infection, especially genes participated lysosome pathway and MAPK pathway. Our findings demonstrate previously unrecognized changes in gene transcription that are associated with B.melitensis infection in the macrophages, and many significant pathways (cascades) identified in the study clearly merit further investigation. Our data provide new clues to understand the molecular attenuation mechanism of M5-90 and a firm foundation for reducing vaccine residual virulence, enhancing vaccine efficacy. Examination oftwo peritoneal macrophages infected brucella and one blank control.

Project description:Employing a transcriptomic approach, the gene expression profiles of C57BL/6 and CBA macrophages, before and after L. amazonensis infection in vitro, were compared. These strains were selected due to their different degrees of susceptibility to this parasite.

Project description:PPARg is a nuclear receptor that plays an important role in lipid metabolism, homeostasis and immunity. Microarray analysis of gene expression was performed in macrophages from WT and PPARg KO mice. Differentially expressed genes were selected for further analysis. RNA from WT and PPARg KO macrophages was purified for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Peritoneal macrophages were harvest from WT and PPARg KO mice 3 days after intraperitoneal injection of 2.5ml of 3% thioglycollate.

Project description:LPS-stimulated macrophages from Pac1+/+ and Pac1-/- mice were compared to assess gene expression changes in the absence of PAC-1 (also known as Dual specificity phosphatase 2). Experiment Overall Design: Age matched Pac1+/+ and Pac1-/- littermates were used to obtain equal numbers of thiolycollate-elicited macrophages. Pure populations of macrophages were stimulated with 100 ng/ml of LPS for 6 hours. 6 hours was chosen to assess mainly inflammatory gene expression.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which macrophages and microglia play a central role. During active multiple sclerosis foamy macrophages and microglia, containing degenerated myelin, are abundantly found in demyelinated areas. Recent studies have described an altered macrophage phenotype after myelin internalization. However, by which mechanisms myelin affects the phenotype of macrophages and how this phenotype can influence lesion progression is unclear. Here we demonstrate, by using genome wide gene expression analysis, that myelin-phagocytosing macrophages have an enhanced expression of genes in pathways involved in migration, phagocytosis and inflammation. More interestingly, we show that myelin internalization induces the expression of genes involved in liver X receptor signaling and cholesterol efflux. In vitro validation shows that myelin-phagocytosing macrophages indeed have an increased capacity to dispose intracellular cholesterol. Additionally, myelin suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, like nitric oxide and IL-6, by macrophages in a similar manner as a liver X receptor agonist. Our data show that myelin modulates the phenotype of macrophages by nuclear receptor activation, which may subsequently affect lesion progression in multiple sclerosis. Rat peritoneal macrophages were left untreated (n=5) or treated with isolated myelin (n=5) for 3 days. Both untreated and myelin-treated macrophages were subsequently stimulated with IFNM-RM-/ and IL1-M-NM-2 for 9 hours.

Project description:Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is a 75 kDa heparin-binding plasma protein which has been implicated in regulation of tumor angiogenesis and growth. To exert some of its biological functions, HRG acts on macrophages.This study was performed to assess changes in gene expression in peritoneal macrophages treated with HRG using oligonucleotide microarrays A total of 8 samples were analyzed. Peritoneal macrophages were pooled from 10 wt C57/BL6 mice and treated with recombinant HRG (1ug/ml) for 6 and 24 hours in duplicates

Project description:Alternatively activated macrophages (AAMφs) play important roles in a number of Th2 driven pathologies including asthma and allergy, and a number of parasitic infections. Our studies, and those of others, investigating the pathologies associated with infection with the helminth Schistosoma japonicum implicate a role for AAMφs in fibrosis and immunomodulation.. In the present study we show that S. japonicum-secreted egg antigens are able to induce the alternative activation of macrophages as characterised by the induction of Chi3l3 and Arg1 expression. Retnla, another common marker of AAMφs, was not consistently induced in these macrophages suggesting that the specific function of these cells may differ to those induced by S. mansoni and other parasites. Closer examination of the gene expression profile and functionality of these cells identified pathways independent of Retnla expression that could be important for their immunomodulatory activity such as modulating expression of T-cell co-stimulatory molecules and chemokines. In vivo generated S. japonicum soluble egg antigen stimulated AAMφs also exhibited a reduction in their phagocytic ability likely related to the induction of IL4 and decreased expression of cell surface receptors. Additionally these macrophages exhibited reduced expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and an associated reduction in responsiveness to stimulation with TLR ligands. We did not observe pathways that would suggest that AAMφs have a direct profibrotic activity. Taken together, these data describe a mechanism by which alternative activation of macrophages may be induced during S. japonicum infection and highlight the importance of the context of activation in directing AAMφ phenotype and function. The gene expression profile of Schistosoma japonicum soluble egg antigen (SEA)-stimulated macrophages was compared with that of PBS stimulated controls. Macrophages were isolated from the peritoneal cavity of BALB/c mice (n=6 per group) stimulated by intraperitoneal injection with SEA or PBS. The macrophages were pooled and RNA was extracted from these cells. Microarray analysis was performed on cRNA synthesised from total RNA derived from these macrophages. The experiment was performed twice creating two biological replicates. Fold-change (relative to the respective PBS control) reported in supplementary file linked below.

Project description:Macrophages are a major cellular component of all inflammatory situations, generating proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6 that are central to the initiation and maintenance of inflammation. To determine whether the tumor suppressor ARF plays a role in inflammatory gene expression, we used an 84-gene RT2 PCR array to examine the expression of inflammation-associated genes in WT and ARF-deficient macrophages treated with the TLR4 ligand LPS. Peritoneal macrophages from WT and ARF-deficient mice were obtained and treated with LPS (200ng/ml) for 4 hours. WT control (without stimulation n=4), WT LPS (n=4), ARF Control (n=4), ARF LPS (n=4)
