Myeloid lineage switch in pro-B cells generates novel macrophage subsets during homeostasis and inflammation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here we demonstrate for the first time evidence of lineage switch from B-1 B lymphocyte to a macrophage , or so-called transdifferentiation, occurring in mature cells in vivo. Specifically, using transgenic B6.Mb1-iCre/Rosa26-YFP mice, in which YFP expression is restricted exclusively to B cell lineage, we discovered that a significant portion of tissue-resident macrophages in peritoneum, pleural cavity and intestine in steady state are positive for YFP. B cell origin of YFP+ macrophages was confirmed by next-generation sequencing of genomic DNA locus encoding immunoglobulin heavy chain genes. Eliciting a self-resolving zymosan peritonitis showed that during inflammation a subset of B-1 B cells gives rise to inflammation-induced macrophages. The aim of this study was to perform transcriptome analysis of B-1 B cell-derived macrophages (B-1/macrophages) from the naM-ove and inflamed murine peritoneum and compare them to already established populations of naM-ove tissue-resident macrophages, inflammation-experienced resident (yolk-sac-derived) macrophages and inflammation-induced (monocyte-derived) macrophages.
